2025 Shimukappu Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

Imagine dining in a lush green forest, bathed in moonlight, while enjoying a sumptuous buffet. The famous Forest Restaurant, 'Mori no Restaurant Nininupuri,' is located within Hoshino Resort Tomamu in Hokkaido and is the most popular among the many restaurants there. Surprisingly, the buffet at the Forest Restaurant is reasonably priced. Dinner costs ¥3900, which is approximately 834 New Taiwan Dollars. You can indulge in fresh scallops, botan shrimp, sashimi, Tokachi pork rice bowl, fried chicken, grilled steak, Genghis Khan lamb, salmon roe, crab leg soup, and more. It's an incredibly lavish spread! With a great dining environment, fresh and abundant ingredients, and affordable prices, it's hard to justify not trying the buffet at the Forest Restaurant! However, if you come too late, you might have to wait in line. It's recommended to come at the start of the dinner service at 17:30 to get in without waiting.

Eastern Hokkaido is the essence of Hokkaido tourism. The roads are bad and public transportation is inconvenient in winter, but this means that the beautiful scenery is preserved due to the lack of tourists. It gets dark in Hokkaido at around 4 pm, so keep this in mind when planning your itinerary. I like natural scenery and cultural attractions, so if you're tired of the classic routes, don't miss the advanced routes in Hokkaido from February to March. Hoshino Resorts: Hoshino TOMAMU Resort is the largest ski resort in Hokkaido. The powder snow is picturesque, and the 20+ ski runs will satisfy your skiing dreams. There are also exciting snow activities to enjoy the charm of ice and snow. Shiretoko Hiking: Walk on the Shiretoko Peninsula and admire the magnificent drift ice. The Shiretoko Five Lakes or drift ice walks are both fascinating. Cross the snow to find traces of animals, and you may encounter foxes or deer, leaving unforgettable memories of nature. Abashiri Icebreaker: Don't miss the winter-only Abashiri icebreaker tour. Feel the shock of nature in the icy sea, and you may encounter manatees, seals, and more, adding a mysterious touch to your journey. Sapporo White Illumination: From November 22, 2024 to March 14, 2025, the Sapporo White Illumination Festival will be held at the same time as the German Christmas Market. The light show and food will bring a festive atmosphere and surprises. Lake Akan Winter Carnival: From early February to early March, the Lake Akan Ice Park offers ice fishing, ice skating, snowmobiles, and more. It's lively and fun.

Speaking of popular hotels in Hokkaido, Hoshino Resorts Tomamu The Tower is probably the best! ✨ 📍Naka Tomamu, Shimukappu Village, Yufutsu District, Hokkaido 🚗100 minutes by car from New Chitose Airport 🚃100 minutes by express from Sapporo, 5 minutes by free shuttle bus from Tomamu Station It was a very relaxing time in the middle of nature, away from the noise of the city! We were lucky enough to see the sea of ​​clouds, a famous sight in Tomamu, and were very moved 🥺 It's so beautiful that we'd love for everyone to see it too! #HokkaidoTrip #HoshinoResortTomamu

Hoshino Resorts Tomamu the Tower Nakatomamu, Shimukappu Village, Yufutsu District, Hokkaido About 1.8 km from Tomamu Station, 22 minutes on foot. Most people come by car. After checking in, the first thing we do is a welcome drink! So we went to the lounge and there was sparkling wine. The grounds are very large and you can travel to each area by bus (the bus is free). Since it is a hotel in nature, we looked at the surrounding mountains, trees, cows, etc. while thinking about what to do. As for the famous sea of ​​clouds, we lined up for the bus first thing in the morning and went to the gondola, but there was a long line of people who had been waiting for the gondola even earlier. While we were waiting in line, the sea of ​​clouds almost disappeared. We couldn't see much of the sea of ​​clouds, but the weather was good and the view was great. It depends on the season you go, but since it is a large resort, there are many customers, so it took a long time to line up and wait for what to do. It is rare to be able to stay multiple times, so we enjoyed it and went back☆ #Accommodation #Hokkaido #Tomamu #HoshinoResorts

Hokkaido Hoshino Resort has a ski resort, Tadao Ando's Water Church, Ice Village, outdoor hot springs, and a variety of facilities to enjoy all day long Although the room rate is expensive, the view is superb. The room is located on the 32nd floor and has a very large space. There are three large glass windows, and the view from each window is different How can you not ski when you come here? Their ski slopes are very suitable for beginners. This is my second time skiing and I still keep falling at the beginning, but the view is super beautiful when I take the cable car to the intermediate slope and slide down

I had a luxurious stay at Hoshino Resorts' RISONARE Tomamu in Tomamu, Hokkaido. RISONARE Tomamu is one of the most popular Hoshino Resorts, and as expected, it was amazing! The rooms are wonderfully spacious and even have a jacuzzi and sauna. However, depending on the season and date, there are plans for single people that can be stayed for as little as 20,000 yen. The best time to go is during the off-season. #Hokkaido #luxury hotel #breathtaking view #gourmet trip #Hoshino Resorts #RISONARE

Hoshino Resort Tomamu in Tomamu. I revisited Tomamu, a place I visited with my family as a child, not at a Hoshino Resort. It was around October before COVID-19, and the autumn leaves had already fallen, so it seemed relatively empty. In the evening, I had sushi at a restaurant in the hotel, and in the morning, I had a salmon roe bowl at the breakfast buffet. Next time I visit, I'd like to go to the Unkai Terrace. #SecretSummerResort #SummerShortTrip

We attended a wedding ceremony at the Ice Church at Hoshino Resorts Tomamu! The temperature outside is below freezing, so even if you're fully equipped with winter clothes like Hokkaido residents, it's still cold. Don't worry if you don't have any winter clothes! Coats, boots, down skirts, etc. are all provided. We recommend that you bring a heating pad in your boots. After the vow ceremony, we toast with mulled wine and hot cocoa. Finally, we gathered in front of the church and watched the fireworks 🎇 It was a wonderful and memorable ceremony! #Tomamu #IceChurch #WeddingVenue

Unlocking the Hoshino Resort in the fall Resort now has four buildings, two are the original building (the price is slightly more expensive), two are the new building The Tower Tawa Hotel (the price is slightly cheaper), the building The parking lot is large and you don't have to worry about parking. The three of us stayed and gave us the family quadruple room on the 17th floor. The room in the two rooms and one hall was awesome. The new and old buildings on both sides are conceived. There is a passage. It should also be a red channel. It has been in the resort for two days. This passage does not know how many times it has gone. Transportation: 1, it takes about 2.5 hours to drive from Sapporo. 2, after getting off at Tomamoo Station by JR, there will be a hotel bus to pick up. Service: The best thing in the resort is the bus service. If you go anywhere, whether it is raining or snowing, don't worry, just send you to the place you want to go to the resort (in the resort) There are also a lot of bus services for the ring service. Waiting for the car will come. In fact, apart from Smile Beach and Yunhai Cable Car, it is a bit far away, and other places can walk. Resort Free Project: 1, Xingye Resort's most proud attraction, and what we have missed is Yunhai. The trip was unfortunately affected by the typhoon. It rained all day and the whole mountain was foggy. The first morning was closed due to heavy rain. Although the second morning was open, there was only fog and no sea of clouds. The best view of the sea of clouds. The season is summer. The temperature on the mountain is very low, so keep warm. Opening time: 5

Traveling across five continents, we chose to marry at the Water Church in Hoshino TOMAMU Resort Meet in North Korea, fall in love in Sweden, get married in Bolivia, we traveled many countries together, I thought romance became like this Already enough, I didn't expect it to be more romantic to marry in the water church of Xingye Tomamu Resort in Hokkaido, designed by my favorite designer Ando Tadao. It was the Xingye Tomamu Resort, which was super-fired by Huo Jianhua and Hu Ges group. I once said that if I could get married here, I didnt expect the dream to come true!

A truly awesome white honeymoon trip to Hokkaido. Weather was freezing cold 🥶 but it doesn't dampen our mood. Had a remarkable stay at Hoshino Tomamu Hotel. Everything was really well thought of, with buses bringing you to different spots in the resort. Filled with all sort of activities to keep the young and old occupied. Tried my first time at snowboarding and the instructor was really friendly and helpful. We absolutely enjoyed our 3 days stay in the resort and would love to visit it again. #favoriteitinerary #naturalwonders #thingstodo #hokkaido #winter

🏂 For a family ski trip, TOMAMU in Hokkaido is the perfect choice. 0 degrees, no wind, not cold at all. ⛷ TOMAMU Ski Resort is one of the few places in the world where you can enjoy powder snow. With 29 slopes, there's something for everyone. We took a two-hour lesson at the ski school and quickly mastered some basic skills. Everyone said that skiing is addictive, and this was the first time we really felt the fun of it. We also had Salomon skiwear and a full set of ATOMIC equipment, which was clean and comfortable. After skiing, we went to the snowmobile park to try different types of sleds, snowmobiles, and snow tubing. ♨️ When we were tired, we went to the largest indoor beach and swimming pool in Japan, 🌊 🏄 Smile Beach Minamina Beach. The temperature here is always above 30 degrees. Super warm! The most amazing thing is that this 30m x 80m large indoor wave pool has waves every half hour or so, and you can really experience the thrill of riding small waves. We rented a swimming ring for the kids, so they could enjoy all the different types of swimming rings. In the deep water area, you can play paddleboard, and moms can enjoy the open-air wood-fired bath in the snow. You can play all day long without wanting to go home. What a great experience!

When traveling to Hokkaido in winter, be sure to visit the Rime Ice Terrace at TOMAMU. Yes, it's the same place where you can see the sea of clouds in summer. Take the cable car up the mountain at 8:30 am and enjoy the magnificent view of the forest and snowfield. First, go to CloudWalk and experience the novelty of the 200-meter-long suspended snow mountain walkway. Then, warm up in the cafe and enjoy a cup of rime ice coffee and rime ice ice cream, and taste the rime ice chocolate that is only available in winter. Sit down and admire the majestic Hidaka Mountains covered with snow. Isn't it amazing!

📍Hoshino Resort Tomamu The Tower Naka Tomamu, Shimukappu Village, Yufutsu District, Hokkaido ✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲ The reason I chose this place for accommodation is... "Unkai Terrace" You have to take a gondola to get to the Unkai Terrace. Unkai Gondola Basic Fee: 1,900 yen for adults, 1,200 yen for elementary school students, 500 yen for pets *Free for guests staying at Tomamu The Tower and RISONARE Tomamu There is a shuttle bus to the gondola, but there is also a walking course (about 10 minutes). Please refer to the Hoshino Resorts Tomamu website, which announces the probability of the sea of ​​clouds occurring the next day by 3:00 p.m. I heard that the gondola gets crowded around 5:00 a.m., (I waited 40 minutes on this day as well) so I went at a different time, around 6:00 a.m. ▶️In the Unkai Shop next to the postbox, you can choose postcards with various sea of ​​clouds, so you can drop them off at this postbox without putting a stamp on them. If you go down from the left side of the terrace, you will find a place where you can enjoy the spectacular view from the top of the mountain even more. ▶️First up is the Cloud Bar This is an observation spot that is designed to look like a bar counter where you can enjoy the spectacular view of the sea of ​​clouds and the sunrise. There is a counter about 3 meters above the ground and about 13 meters long, with chairs lined up. There are two types of chairs, one for one person and one for two people, and a maximum of 7 people can use it. You can climb the ladder attached to the chair and sit as if you are floating in the mountain scenery. You will have to wait quite a while here. ▶️Cloud Bed An observation spot that is modeled after the "cloud particles" that make up the clouds. A series of elastic cushions are set up so that you can lean on, sit on, and enjoy the sea of ​​clouds as if you were on top of a cloud. Going even higher... ▶️Cloud Pool An observation spot like a giant hammock in the shape of a cloud. It is up to about 8 meters above the ground😅 and is quite high. You can enjoy the feeling of floating on the clouds while looking at the magnificent scenery. This place is also quite crowded. ▶️They offer "Cloud Soft Serve" and "Cloud Macaroons", sweets that represent fluffy clouds. "Sea of ​​Cloud Coffee" with cloud-shaped marshmallows, "Sea of ​​Cloud Soda" with cotton candy like clouds, and more. You can enjoy the view and relax on the indoor sofas while enjoying cloud-themed drinks and sweets. I wanted a cloud soft serve, but it was very popular and I had to wait 20 minutes. I gave up and had a sea of ​​cloud soda. #Hokkaido #Hokkaido trip #Hokkaido sightseeing #Hokkaido tourist spots #Recommended Hokkaido sightseeing #Hoshino Resorts Tomamu #Hoshino Resorts #Sea of ​​Clouds Terrace #Postbox #0 yen trip January 2025
