The exciting "city center" hotel "OMO7 Asahikawa by Hoshino Resorts" is holding the "Asahikawa Ski City Declaration" from December 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026, where you can enjoy high-quality powder snow and après-ski fun. This winter, which marks the eighth time the event has been held, will see the unique service of "Mountain City Pub," which becomes even more affordable as the weather gets colder, and the introduction of the fun new "Magic Gondola" vending machine, which looks like a gondola.
We introduce recommended ways to enjoy Asahikawa, the ski city, from OMO7 Asahikawa, which continues to evolve as a base for an even more fun and comfortable ski trip!
[Day 1]
4:00 PM - Check in and get your gear serviced at OMO WAX BAR
OMO7 Asahikawa, which has access to many popular resorts in the area, has set up the "OMO WAX BAR" with 30 types of snow wax. It is available for free 24 hours a day, so you can get the perfect tune-up for the conditions of the day and fully enjoy the snow in the Asahikawa area
16:15~ Store your gear in the snow gear stand room
The Snow Gear Stand Room allows you to store your precious snow gear after maintenance in your own room. The original stand, created in collaboration with Asahikawa Furniture, one of Japan's top five furniture manufacturers, can be adjusted to fit any size and can also be used to dry gloves, helmets, etc. The interior, reminiscent of a shop display, will lift your spirits as you experience the life of a ski bum
16:30-18:00 Reflect on your skiing experience with draft beer and food at Mountain City Pub
Mountain City Pub is a great place to drop in after skiing, and offers a wide variety of food options, including poutine served on a plate shaped like a snowboard and nachos with salsa and guacamole
In addition, they offer a light and refreshing draft craft beer in collaboration with Asahikawa's craft beer specialty shop "-Freehouse- THE YEAST." They also have a unique service where the discount rate increases the lower the temperature, for example, if the outside temperature is -10°C, you will receive a 10% discount. This is a way to turn the cold into something to look forward to, and you can enjoy a great deal after skiing with your friends
18:00~19:00 Local Gourmet Tour
After enjoying drinks and conversation, we recommend taking a stroll around the city at night. Finish off with some local delicacies like Shinkoyaki and Asahikawa ramen at one of Asahikawa's unique restaurants
20:30~21:00 Join the OMO Powder Snow Session!
After enjoying the food and walking around the city, it's time to prepare for the next day. The "OMO Powder Snow Session" is held every Saturday, featuring professional skiers and local field guides. With the help of OMO Rangers, you can learn about the charms of the powder snow in the Asahikawa area, the characteristics of each snow field, and how to enjoy after-skiing from a professional perspective
21:00~ Refresh your tired body in the sauna plateau!
The baths are alternated between men's and women's in the morning and evening, so you can enjoy both auto-louver and self-louver with just one night's stay. Surrounded by the aroma of vihta, you can fully enjoy your sauna experience
[Day 2]
6:00~ Recharge your energy with a breakfast buffet!
The colorful breakfast buffet offers a wide variety of Japanese and Western dishes, including freshly baked waffles with a delightful texture and "mountain wasabi rice," which features seafood garnished with fragrant mountain wasabi. While enjoying the flavors unique to Hokkaido, you'll be sure to recharge your energy for the day!
6:30~ Check the latest ski resort conditions
Before you head out, check the conditions at each ski resort with the "Ski Resort Live Camera." You can choose the best ski resort for the day from five options, including "Kamui Ski Links" and "Santa Present Park." In addition to being able to check the snow conditions, wind direction, visibility, and more on the spot, the "Today's Powder Information" posted every morning gives you more detailed information on the conditions at each ski resort
From 7:00 AM, purchase your lift ticket for the ski resort you'll be skiing at today at the OMO ticket counter!
If you try to purchase a lift ticket after arriving at a ski resort, you'll end up waiting in line at the counter, wasting valuable time. The OMO Ticket Counter eliminates this inconvenience. If you purchase your lift ticket or exchange voucher here in advance, you can start skiing as soon as you arrive
[NEW] Don't worry if you forget something! Vending machines let you get the items you need right away
Don't worry if you realize you've forgotten something just as you're about to depart. A new, almost magical vending machine has been introduced that will give you the items you need with the push of a button. The unique "Magic Gondola" that resembles a gondola sells small items like inner gloves and neck warmers, as well as handy items like scrapers and anti-fog spray. It's available 24 hours a day
Depart from OMO7 Asahikawa directly on the free shuttle bus!
OMO7 Asahikawa distributes limited-quantity, reservation-only bus tickets that allow free rides on local buses to Kamui Ski Links, Santa Present Park, Pippu Ski Resort, and Daisetsuzan Asahidake. These tickets are convenient for those who are nervous about driving on snowy roads, as well as those who want to travel safely even with large amounts of luggage. Put on your boots in the warm interior, and you can hit the slopes right after getting off the bus
