Hokkaido’s largest stay-type snow resort “Hoshino Resort Tomamu” operates “Muyo Terrace” from December 1, 2019 to April 5, 2020. This is a terrace where you can enjoy the spectacular view of the snowy mountain, where you can appreciate the phenomenon of water and mist in the air between 2 and 10 degrees below the freezing point. This time, you can see the rime from the new “Cloud Bar” that opened in the summer of 2019. In addition, we will light up the night rime for a limited time.
Naka Tomamu, Shimukappu Village, Yufutsu-gun, Hokkaido 079-2204
Approximately 100 minutes by car from New Chitose Airport. About 90 minutes by JR (Transfer available; free shuttle bus from Tomamu Station available; no reservation required)
The rime ice terrace is located at an altitude of 1,088 meters on Mt. Tomamu and is a terrace where you can appreciate the spectacular view created by the rime on the trees. A typical image of a snowy mountain is a place visited by skiers and snowboarders. Therefore, this resort started operation as a hoarfrost terrace in the hope that people who do not ski or snowboard want to know the beauty of the snowy mountains. Also, in the night rime light-up started in 2017, you can see the shining shining shining frost as if it were a jewel. You can enjoy the superb view of the snowy mountain created by this hoarfrost at this resort.
The “Cloud Bar” opened in the summer of 2019 is an observation spot inspired by a bar counter. There are 3 meters above the ground and 13 meters long counters and chairs on the slope of the mountain leading to the rime ice terrace. Two types of chairs are available, one for one person and two for a maximum of seven people. You can climb the ladder attached to the chair and sit down to see the whole view of the snowy mountain. Because it is installed on the slope of the mountain and there is no obstruction in front of you, it is a special seat that allows you to experience floating on the rime that spreads under your feet.
We will also provide “Hokkaido Fondant Chocolate” and “Hoarfrost Coffee”.
For a limited time, we will light up the observation spots “Cloud Walk” and “Cloud Bar” on the rime ice terrace and along the road.

The Hiroshima Museum of Art is hosting the exhibition “ZIPANGU: Contemporary Artists Who Defined the Heisei Era” (November 2, 2024 – December 22, 2024). This showcase brings together works by some of the most prominent figures in Japan’s contemporary art scene, including Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Makoto Aida, Yoshitomo Nara, Chiharu Shiota, Izumi Kato, Akira Yamaguchi, and Miwa Komatsu. The exhibition has already garnered significant attention, exceeding 10,000 visitors.
HYAKKEI covered the dialogue between contemporary artist Takashi Murakami and Sueo Mizuma, the curator of this exhibition, held at the RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima. We also conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Mizuma.
The discussions centered on the aspirations behind the ZIPANGU exhibition and offered forward-looking insights, not only into Japan’s art world but also into the rediscovery of value within Japanese culture by its people.
