Hoshino Resort Tomamu opens the fantastic ice town “Ice Village”

2020.11.27

At Hoshino Resort Tomamu, one of the largest stay-type snow resorts in Hokkaido, the fantastic ice town “Ice Village” will open from December 10, 2020 to March 14, 2021. Ice Village is an ice town with 10 ice domes lined up on 3.2 hectares. This year, there will be an “Ice Milk Cafe” where you can enjoy “Tomam Milk” milked from cows raised in the resort, and an “Ice Fruit Shop” where you can taste frozen fruits. You can experience the fantastic world of ice that can only be realized by Tomamu, whose minimum temperature reaches 30 degrees below freezing.

Ice Village, a fantastic city of ice

Ice Village, which appears only on winter nights each year, is Tomamu’s winter tradition. Since its birth in the winter of 1998, we have been proposing experiences that can be enjoyed because it is cold. Due to the influence of the new coronavirus, winter events have been canceled one after another in Hokkaido. Not only guests staying at The Tower and RISONARE Tomamu, but also day-trippers can enter the Ice Village so that more people can enjoy the fantastic world of ice.

This year, the Ice Milk Cafe and the Ice Fruit Shop are newly opened. Take out the original menu and spend a relaxing time on the “Ice Terrace”, or admire the fantastic ice world at the “Ice Hotel” and “Ice Church”.

Eighty Years After the War: A Reflection on the Preciousness of Ordinary Life YUKIKAZE – In Theaters Nationwide from August 15, 2025

“To Return Alive, To Bring Others Home Alive”

Opening nationwide on August 15, 2025—marking eighty years since the end of World War II—YUKIKAZE is a feature film based on the true story of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) destroyer Yukikaze, a vessel that rescued countless lives amid the horrors of war. A press screening was held in advance at the Sony Pictures screening room.

The destroyer Yukikaze, which served throughout the Pacific War, was renowned for rescuing numerous sailors thrown into the sea during fierce naval battles, surviving to the end of the war virtually unscathed. It earned the legendary moniker “the lucky ship.” This film brings to life the ship’s heroic journey, alongside the lives of those who persevered through one of the most turbulent eras in modern history.

Leading the cast is Yutaka Takenouchi as Captain Kazutoshi Terasawa—a fictional amalgamation inspired by the real-life captains of Yukikaze. Hiroshi Tamaki portrays Petty Officer First Class Kohei Hayase. Supporting roles are delivered by an ensemble of acclaimed actors including Daiken Okudaira, Rena Tanaka, Kanji Ishimaru, and Toru Masuoka. Kiichi Nakai delivers a commanding performance as Vice Admiral Seiichi Itō, the Second Fleet Commander of the IJN who met his fate aboard the battleship Yamato.

In today’s world, once again shaken by division and violence, YUKIKAZE poses an urgent question to those of us living in the peace that others fought to protect: Are we once again treading the path of past mistakes? As collective memory of the war fades, this film becomes ever more vital—a call to reflect on the true value of peace.
