We booked a week’s skiing at Tomamu with Japan Snow Accommodation. Our package of transfers, accommodation and lift tickets all came together without any problems. The Tower was ski in/ski out with excellent locker room facilities. Staff were friendly and most helpful and the skiing was great. Thanks you Hisae for ensuring our holiday was as planned.

I just wanted to send you a quick note of thanks for all your support with our trip to Tomamu. The whole family had such a great time during the stay and the organisation/transfer and rooms were exceptionally well organised thanks to you.From a resort perspective, Tomamu had everything that our young family needs and the kids cant stop talking about the holiday. So much so that we have already started talking about going back next year.Ben

We enjoyed our stay at Tomamu Tower 2. It is a true ski in ski out resort. Our rented skis can be left on ski racks just outside the tower after skiing. The resort is more suitable for families, beginners and intermediate skiers. Advanced skiers may find the slopes quite limited for their skill level. The ski slopes can also be crowded at times when there are large groups of local students undergoing ski lessons but they are not there all the time.
We used Japan Snow Accommodation to make the reservation for our ski holiday in Tomamu. We are very satisfied with the services provided by Hisae who is very responsive to our email queries. Their cost is competitive and provides value for money. We will use them again if we decide to have another ski holiday in Japan.

This was our second trip to this ski resort, which is now also shared with Club Med. We stayed in one of the tower buildings, there are 4 in total, with accommodation on the 26th floor and fabulous views of the surrounding ski resort. The room had Japanese style bedding and a separate small lounge area. Our package provided a great buffet breakfast and dinner was easily available from a restaurant area nearby, no reservations were needed especially if you go to dinner early!
There is also an indoor beach plus onsen and ice village so plenty of après skiing things to do, it is a great destination for families. The snow resort itself is good for intermediate skiers who love well groomed runs.

Tomamu the Towers was a great place to stay and the restaurants nearby gave us lots of choice. Kids had an awesome time and there were fantastic instructors too. Definitely a great option!”
Thanks very much Hisae, you have been excellent!
Kind regards

Firstly, thank you for organising our family group of 8 adults and 2 children. It was a little tricky to coordinate but everything went smoothly as planned. The package you customised for us included: breakfast, dinner, lift tickets, transfers and unlimited access to Minna Minna Beach and the Ice Village, and was excellent.
Some further comments below.
1.Rooms
Our 4x rooms were perfect with everyone having wonderful mountain views. Clean, comfortable and well serviced. There is a coin laundry in Tower 2.
2.Food
In our group we had a Gluten Free dietary restriction, as well as the usual likes and dislikes, so I was concerned that perhaps we would have some problems. Thankfully, everyone was satisfied at the various restaurants we ate at, so we were able to eat together every breakfast and evening.
Nininupuri and Hal buffet restaurants provided icon signs near foods with the major allergies listed, which was very helpful.
Our favorite restaurants were:
1) Altezza Italian. Hotalu Street.
Serving made to order pasta dishes, pizza and an “Italian barbecue", where meat, vegetables and seafood were grilled at the table....so some options for our GF
2) Japanese pub,Kanemaru Goto Shoten- Foresta Mall
3) Green Kitchen GAO Outdoor Center
For lunch, plenty of options but sometimes we just bought a simple and inexpensive sandwich at the convenience store and enjoyed a hot chocolate at the Cafe Bar, Yukku Yukku.
3.Weather and Skiing
As you would be aware, the snowfall was well below the January norm. Whilst a little disappointing for the skiers and boarders, it was great weather and conditions for the children to learn to ski.
4. Other Activities
Minna Minna Beach, onsen and Ice Village were wonderful diversions for the kids. Also the gondola ride and short walk to the Terrace of Snow Trees and Cloud Walk, I highly recommend on a clear day.
All in all a great week in Tomamu, due to excellent facilities and service.
Many thanks for your help and patience.

Hoshino Resorts Tomamu The Tower is pretty good. It has a lot of restaurants and all of them provide delicious food.
Late Feb 2019
We booked the the Hokkaido Powder Belt Package (Tomamu 5 nights + OMO7 Asahikawa 3 nights)
We had a great trip to Tomamu and Furano in February 2018, I must say everything from transfers to check-in was absolutely perfect and communication to arrange our trip far exceeded our expectation.

Hello, I was thinking about writing you an email to thank you. We all had an absolutely wonderful time at Tomamu resort.
The children LOVE the snow. Their favorite is the slope area right next to the lobby. My boy can slide on toboggan the whole day there! The resort is wonderfully designed. Food-wise, there are so many restaurants to choose from. The food court next to the ski field has lovely yummy food. It is nice that we can walk almost everywhere with indoor cover. The transfer buses are very convenience as well. The whole resort is very thoughtfully designed, I personally love the cafe right next to the lobby,
we were able to sit inside having hot chocolate/coffee while watching the children playing outside. It was so relaxing to sit in the outdoor hot bath and have snow falling on us.
Thank you very much or organizing the room for us. Our room is spacious with two bathrooms and plenty of room for everyone.My kids are asking when we will be going to stay at Tomamu already. We will definitely be back again! and will stay for more days
next time. ^_^
Kind regards,

Just a quick email to say thanks for arranging our holiday in Tomamu. We really enjoyed our week of snowboarding and the hotel, it had excellent facilities, especially good is the new hotalu street ski-in ski out addition which is great for lunch and dinner options.
Thanks and regards,

Risonare Tomamu
Mid January 2024
This was our second time to the Hoshino Risonare Resort in Tomamu and it was even better than before. We highly recommend the Risonare and Tomamu generally. The accommodation is spacious for a family, the staff are so accommodating, the ski rental equipment and staff are amazing and it is a true ski in/ski out location on a green run not far from the chair lift. Tomamu offers many restaurant/food choices within easy walking of the Risonare. Our children loved the Forest restaurant while the adults loved visiting Hotalu Street.
We have travelled in mid January both times and the snow/skiing has been excellent both times. The ski runs are relatively empty and the queues are non-existent, except when there are ski school groups. We do not understand where everyone is! Maybe it is not a popular resort for Australian tourists who tend to head to Niseko, as there is next to no night life in Tomamu, but it makes for the best, uncrowded skiing ever.
Turning to Japan Snow Accommodatin, they made the booking of this trip so easy. They were accommodating with my many requests in relation to travel dates, and were across everything from the hotel booking and transfer booking. I cannot recommend them and Hisae Cameron highly enough, they were excellent!

Our family of 4 stayed at Hoshino Tomamu Risonare resort for 6 nights over January… and it was amazing to say the least! It was our kids’ (9,7) first time at the snow and I couldn’t fault the resort as it ticked all the boxes. The rooms were massive, food was plentiful and excellent, price was reasonable, it was conveniently linked via an internal tunnel walk way making it super family friendly, the ski instructors were patient and friendly and the weather was perfect (at least for 5 of the 6 nights we were there). Hisae was super helpful and responsive in answer any last minute questions prior and during the trip! The only thing I could fault is that for more advanced skiers, they may run out of the more challenging slopes, however that was not an issue for us Thanks for the super recommendation, and we will definitely be heading back soon!
