Hoshino Resort Tomamu


Tomamu Hotel

Other than Tomamu Ice Village, there are 3 resort style hotels which offer ski in and ski out convenience in Hoshino Resort Tomamu – Tomamu Tower, Galleria Tower Suite Hotel and Villa Sport Hotel. Situated at the base of the slopes, these hotels provide twin and triple share western style hotel accommodation. Among the 3, Tomamu Tower is best value for money whereas Galleria Tower Suite hotel has most rooms featuring their own ensuite spa bath for people who are after a luxury experience [v].




Other activities around Tomamu

Other than Ice Village, Tomamu offer around 15 ski courses for beginners, intermediates and experts.


In addition, there are other winter activities you can play with such as snowmobiling, snow rafting, cross country skiing, paraskiing, snowshoeing and dog sledding. Tomamu is also famous for being one of the only locations in Hokkaido that offer Heli-skiing. The helicopters operate from late February to mid march accessing a vast expanse of untracked powder. A slightly cheaper option of accessing backcountry powder will be through a cat skiing tour. These tours tend to be very popular so advanced bookings are recommended [v].



After having fun in the cold of Tomamu, you can relax in Tomamu’s Mina Mina Beach. This is one of Japan’s largest indoor wave pool. It also has other facilities such as Jet Spa Cottage and an open air bath, Kirin-No-Yu.
