Hoshino Resorts Tomamu the Tower, hotel in Shimukappu, Japan
Hoshino Resorts Tomamu the Tower is a modern tall building in a large resort in Hokkaido with clean lines and glass windows that reflect the surroundings. The structure houses various room types from standard to family suites, plus numerous restaurants and facilities including indoor pools, outdoor baths, and saunas.
The resort was established as a modern vacation destination in Hokkaido and grew over time into a large complex with multiple accommodations and attractions. The history of the land itself goes back to indigenous people who used the mountains and forests, before later farmers and settlers arrived.
The resort's name comes from its location near Mount Tomamu and the local Hokkaido landscape. Visitors experience seasonal changes in nature throughout the year and can sample traditional local dishes in the many dining venues on the grounds.
The resort sits about 90 minutes by car or train from New Chitose Airport and offers free shuttle bus service from Tomamu Station. The large grounds with marked pathways sometimes require patience when walking between areas, so shuttle buses are available on site.
The Unkai Terrace area offers a rare phenomenon under certain conditions: a view of a sea of clouds below the mountain visible in early morning hours. This magical sight requires waking early and good weather, but rewards visitors with an unforgettable view that feels like another world.
