The exciting "city center" hotel "OMO7 Asahikawa by Hoshino Resorts" is holding the "Asahikawa Ski City Declaration" event, where you can enjoy high-quality powder snow and après-ski fun at your leisure, until March 31, 2026. This winter, the eighth time the event has been held, the event is even more exciting than ever, with even more exciting content to liven up the après-ski experience
What is "Asahikawa Ski City Declaration"?
Hoshino Resorts' approach to ski trips can be broadly divided into two patterns. One prioritizes access to the slopes, staying in hotels near the ski resorts. The other involves staying in a city near the ski resorts, enjoying a ski trip that also includes city sightseeing.
Staying in a city is more affordable than staying in a hotel near the ski resorts, and offers more sightseeing resources, allowing for longer ski trips.
Among these options, Asahikawa offers access to several ski resorts where you can enjoy powder snow, and when you return to the city, you'll find a variety of restaurants where you can indulge in gourmet food. Asahikawa, ideal for urban ski stays, continues its efforts to become a city that puts skiers and snowboarders first.
<4 reasons why Asahikawa is suitable as a ski city>
1. Approximately 1,500 restaurants in the city center: "The allure of après-ski dining"
2. A wide variety of ski resorts
3. You can choose the ski resort with the best conditions according to the weather and snow conditions of the day
4. Abundant non-skiing tourist attractions to enjoy even in bad weather
This season's power-up points
Introducing recommended ways to spend your time after skiing!
As with last year, there will be a number of free content exclusively for guests that is geared towards skiers and snowboarders
After checking in, the first thing to do is maintain your gear.The "OMO WAX BAR" offers over 30 types of wax for free 24 hours a day. It's also great that they have a complete set of maintenance tools, such as irons, scrapers, screwdrivers, and brushes, which are a hassle to carry around when traveling. You can enjoy the snow in the Asahikawa area in the best possible conditions, according to the snow temperature and air temperature of the day.
Once maintenance is complete, store your skis safely in the "Ski Drying Room" near the WAX BAR until morning. It's convenient because they dry at the same time just by leaving them there. A
"Snow Gear Stand Room" has also been introduced, where you can store and enjoy your prized gear as if it were a display piece. The stands are OMO7 Asahikawa originals, created in collaboration with F-Drive Design, a furniture manufacturer from Asahikawa, one of Japan's five major furniture production areas.
Once you've packed up your gear, head to Mountain City Pub to satisfy your hunger before heading out into town. Asahikawa City, which has recorded the coldest temperature on record at -41°C, is running a unique and special offer. The colder it gets, the lower the prices become. For example, if the outside temperature is -10°C, craft beer will be 10% off
"Please Freeze Breerze," created in collaboration with Asahikawa craft beer specialty store "-Freehouse-THE YEAST," is characterized by its light and refreshing taste. Other dishes include "poutine" and "nachos with salsa and guacamole," which are served on plates shaped like snowboards and are perfect for pairing with alcohol
Then, head out to Asahikawa's deep restaurant district for a gourmet stroll and enjoy local delicacies like Shinkoyaki and Asahikawa ramen. At the hotel's signature "Sauna Plateau," the baths are switched between morning and evening, so you can enjoy both auto-louver and self-louver even if you're only staying overnight
The next morning, start by recharging your energy with a luxurious breakfast buffet! Once you're ready, check out "Today's Powder Information," which showcases the best snowfields of the day. You can see at a glance the conditions at each ski resort, including snow depth, wind direction, and visibility.
Five ski resorts, including "Kamui Ski Links" and "Santa Present Park," can also be checked in real time via live cameras.
It's convenient to purchase your lift ticket in advance at the OMO ticket counter, so you can enjoy the powder snow straight away after arriving at the ski resort without having to wait in line at the ticket counter
If you realize you forgot something just before you set off, the "Magic Gondola" is a convenient new vending machine designed like a gondola. It sells small items that are easy to forget, such as inner gloves, neck warmers, scrapers, and anti-fog spray, as well as items to make your skiing experience more comfortable
Once you're ready, you can head straight to the ski resort on a free local bus without worrying about driving on snowy roads. From OMO7 Asahikawa, you can head to Kamui Ski Links, Santa Present Park, Pippu Ski Resort, and Daisetsuzan Asahidake. Reservations are required for the bus ticket, which is distributed in limited quantities
