    Hoshino TOMAMU Resort Ski Resort is a place where everyone from beginners to advanced skiers can enjoy skiing. The snow here is very light and you can enjoy super dry powder snow. The ski resort here has courses from beginner to advanced, so it is suitable for both children and adults! Another place that everyone loves is the "1 Ice Dessert Shop" in the Ice and Snow Village! I highly recommend that you bring your family here to experience the ice and snow world!

    Hokkaido has ski resorts everywhere. Starting from Sapporo, Sapporo International is good in terms of distance and quality of ski slopes, and the scenery at the top of the mountain is also very beautiful. The 2.5-hour coaching course for 2 people is very cost-effective. I met Aya, a coach from Formosa, who taught us very carefully, especially reminding us where the movements were deformed during the process of leading us to ski, which gave us a very good experience. I gained a lot. She also took beautiful photos for us. It was worth the trip.

    When the price was 400, I was hesitant, but when it was almost 600, I made a strong move 😅😅. It's okay. Overall, I wasted almost an hour renting the ski equipment, and the round trip bus ride took almost seven hours (butt hurts), leaving only three hours to play (crazy). Niseko is really far, much farther than Mrs. Luo, but it's worth it to go and see the world.

    It was my first to seeing snow and to ski. I am very happy and thankful that I am able to be here. the staffs are very helpful and friendly. they speak English, cos I don't speak Japanese and they really communicate well. Bus to Otaru station is available but have to do a booking via the customer service counter.

    This time, everyone chose to come to Japan to ski, so they chose to come to Annupuri International Ski Resort. The ski resort is super large and the snow here is really clean. It gives me a feeling of incomparable purity and whiteness, just like a fairy tale world.

    The venue for the 1972 Sapporo Olympic Games is a 40-minute drive from the center of Sapporo and a 7-minute drive from the Ina Expressway Interchange. The transportation is convenient. If you are interested in skiing, you can go for a run at this ski resort.

    Like the rest of Niseko, Hanazono benefits from amazing snow conditions. A wonderful resort for skiing, snowboarding or any other winter activities.The powder was great and the resort and restaurants were excellent. As usual, the service and experience of my visit was excellent.

    It looks like a crowded ski resort, but it doesn't feel crowded at all when skiing. It is quite suitable for beginners and advanced practice. There is a round-trip bus to the ski resort (800 yen per trip), which is quite convenient, but you need to pay attention to the time. There are many types of cable cars. For the box cable car, you need to put the snowboard outside the box. If you bring it into the box, you need to take a protective cover to prevent scratches on the cable car. Except for the box cable car, you need to wear skis to take the cable car up the mountain. There is an observation house at the top of the mountain. The ski resort closes early, so you need to pay attention to the time. There is no night skiing.

    It is OK to walk to the ski resort in Furano if you live nearby. If you live in the town, it is a little inconvenient, and there are not many transportations. But they all leave on time. Some hotels have shuttle buses, but they also have time. You need to confirm before booking if you want to be more convenient.

    During the Spring Festival holiday, I chose Hokkaido because it is said that the snow in Hokkaido is powder snow, which is most suitable for skiing enthusiasts. Even if you fall, it won’t hurt that much. There are many ski resorts in Hokkaido. Considering my schedule and other conditions, I chose Rusutsu. Practice has proved that our choice is right. The snow here is very thick and good, and there are ski slopes suitable for different levels. This trip is very fun. I will go here again if I have the chance.
