"Part of Hokkaido’s powder belt but much less crowded, the resort offers 29 runs and five lifts with courses evenly divided into three difficulty levels; tree skiing is especially excellent and visitors can book a snowcat tour to explore neighboring fresh terrain. The resort is family-focused, featuring kid-friendly restaurants, bunny slopes, an Ice Village (with an ice chapel available for weddings), a wave pool, and a viewing platform for the frost-covered forest complete with an original hot chocolate menu." - Selena Takigawa Hoy Selena Takigawa Hoy Selena Takigawa Hoy is a writer who has lived in Tokyo for more than 15 years.
