Appreciate ice fog and snowy mountains Enjoy the spectacular winter scenery of Hokkaido at “Hoshino Resort Tomamu”

2021.11.12

At Hoshino Resort Tomamu, one of the largest stay-type snow resorts in Hokkaido, we will open the “Rime Terrace” during the period when you can enjoy the spectacular view of ice fog and snowy mountains. Drinks and lights will be served at the cafe.

What is Unkai Terrace?

The Rime Terrace is located at an altitude of 1,088 meters on Mt. Tomamu, and is a terrace where you can enjoy the spectacular view created by the rime that adheres to the trees. In the night rime illumination that started in 2017, the white rime trees that emerge under the light give a fantastic view that is different from the daytime.

Enjoy the spectacular view of the snowy mountains with rime from the renewed observation deck

The blue sky on a clear and sunny day and the pure white snowy mountains with hoarfrost are a spectacular view unique to cold regions. The observation deck, which was renewed on August 4, 2021, has a structure that protrudes into the snowy mountains, so you can see the hoarfrost up close.

In the morning when the temperature is low, you can see glittering diamond dust, and you can enjoy the spectacular view of the rime even more. The probability of rime on this terrace is about 70% (* 1), and you can appreciate it with a high probability throughout the season.

* 1 Average rate of hoarfrost on the hoarfrost terrace (according to our resort survey in 2020/21)
