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.
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.
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)
At Cloud Cafe, we offer chocolates with the image of hoarfrost trees. A twig-shaped chocolate with coconut and alazan to express the sparkle of hoarfrost. Milk jam made from Tomamu milk (* 2) is used inside.
* 2 Milk squeezed from cows raised in the resort’s farm area
For a limited time, the trees around the observation spot “Cloud Bar”, which is the image of an observation deck and bar counter, will be lit up. The sight of the hoarfrost lit by the light and the entire white trees emerging is a spectacular view that can only be seen at night.
You can enjoy the beauty of hoarfrost that is different from the daytime. On the observation deck, you can enjoy the fantastic view of the illuminated hoarfrost below.

Hoshinoya Tokyo, a Japanese-style inn located in Otemachi, Tokyo, will again this year host the “New Year Kabuki Stay” program, a two-day and one-night stay from January 5 to 26, 2024.
For people living in Edo, one of their New Year’s pleasures was to watch Kabuki, and it was a chic way to spend the New Year. Theatrical teahouses supported this way of enjoying Kabuki. In addition to arranging tickets to the theater, the teahouses delighted patrons by providing a complete range of services, including plot notes, tea, sweets, makunouchi box lunches, and snacks and drinks (*1). Hoshinoya Tokyo offers a stay to celebrate the New Year with hospitality similar to the theatrical teahouses of the time.
