At Hoshino Resorts Bandaisan Onsen Hotel, a resort hotel located at the foot of Mount Bandai, a new plan called "90's Retro Ski Trip" will be available from February 13th to April 6th, 2025, allowing guests to enjoy the pop ski fashion of the 90s. With this plan, guests can dress up in colorful and pop 90s rental wear and ski down the Hoshino Resorts Nekoma Mountain ski slope right in front of the hotel.
After skiing, guests can relax in a retro room surrounded by nostalgic goods, enjoying board games with snacks and bottled juice. They can print a memorable photo using the sticker printer provided in their room, paste it into the "Retro Ski Trip Exchange Diary" (only accessible to those who have booked this plan), decorate it with stickers and pens, and keep the memories of their trip alive.
Features of "90's Retro Ski Trip"
1. Enjoy skiing in retro clothing
Those who book this plan can rent pop and colorful ski wear reminiscent of the 1990s and enjoy bold fashion that is only possible in the extraordinary setting of the snowy mountains.
Optional rentals of items reminiscent of the 90s, such as sunglasses and headbands, are also available.
2. Retro Night Party in the Room After Skating
While listening to 90s music on retro speakers, guests can enjoy a lively time with bottled juices that are hard to find these days, nostalgic snacks, and board games. A
"Retro Ski Trip Exchange Diary" is also provided in the room. This exchange diary is only accessible to those who have booked this plan, and guests can decorate it with photos from their stay, pens, stickers, and other items to create memories that will help them stay "best friends forever," and exchange them with each other, just like the exchange diaries that were popular among elementary and junior high school students in the 90s.
3. Young people's support price! Limited sale for 18-29 year olds at 14,106 yen
In the early 1990s, skiing was a popular leisure sport, especially among young people. Hoping to encourage young people to enjoy skiing as well, the tickets were sold at 14,106 yen per person. "14106" is a pager code that means "I love you."
