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, 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”.
