The Ice Village is a mystical town made entirely of snow and ice, featuring domes made of ice. You can enjoy unique experiences like "Ice Ramen Shop" and "Ice Post Office," where the cold becomes part of the fun. Fireworks are launched every day during the event, further enhancing the magical atmosphere of the village.
Located at an altitude of 1,088 meters, the Terrace of Frost Tree offers spectacular views unique to Tomamu’s snow-covered mountains. The phenomenon known as "frost tree," where fog freezes on tree branches, occurs when the temperature ranges from -2 to -10°C. At the KUMO Cafe, which is adjacent to the observation deck, you can enjoy drinks and sweets inspired by the frost trees.
hotalu street, Japan’s first ski-in-ski-out village, stretches about 160 meters and connects nine restaurants and shops along a wooden deck. It’s conveniently connected to Tomamu The Tower and RISONARE Tomamu by walkways, with only a five-minute walk to reach it. The variety of restaurants allows you to enjoy lunch, cafes, dinner, and bars, so you can visit multiple times during your stay and experience something new each time.
The glass-enclosed building is always over 30°C, creating a perpetual summer. It's reassuring that you can enjoy yourself without worrying about the outside temperature or weather. With Japan's largest wave pool, as well as a children's pool and the relaxation facility "Kirin-no-Yu," there's fun for both adults and children.
