With spring arriving early this season, OMO7 Asahikawa by Hoshino Resorts, a hotel located in the heart of Asahikawa, a ski city, offers a fulfilling ski trip, from enjoying the warm spring weather to a skier-first stay and après-ski activities. Here's a look at the latest content currently available that's perfect for spring skiing
~Why OMO7 Asahikawa is perfect for a spring ski stay~
1. The free shuttle bus service exclusively for guests has been extended!
Guests staying at OMO7 Asahikawa can use the convenient free shuttle bus (*) to Daisetsuzan Asahidake. It operates daily, allowing you to board the bus immediately upon arrival and departure, just like taking a ski lift. You can return to your hotel comfortably without the stress of travel.
*Local bus service operating within the city
2. OMO WAX BAR
This is also for hotel guests only. The "OMO WAX BAR" offers free use of 30 types of snow wax and various maintenance tools, including waxes suitable for spring skiing. In
moist spring snow, the type of wax makes a big difference in gliding performance, and equipment also gets dirty easily. That's why the extra care taken after skiing can make all the difference in the quality of your experience. Choosing from the extensive lineup is also part of the fun.
3. Ski drying room
A ski drying room where you can dry and store wet gear and equipment after maintenance. Drying and warming the skis is essential for wax to properly penetrate them. The drying room is located near the main entrance and the WAX BAR, allowing you to smoothly perform drying and maintenance as soon as you return to the hotel. With room key access control, you can store your valuable snow gear with peace of mind
4. Snow Gear Stand Room
A limited number of snow gear stand rooms are also available for sale, allowing you to dry and store your precious snow gear in your room. The snow gear stand is an original OMO7 Asahikawa product created in collaboration with "Asahikawa Furniture," one of Japan's five major furniture manufacturers.
Skiers who are particular about how they store their gear can enjoy displaying their favorite items while experiencing skiing as if they were living in the ski town of Asahikawa.
5. Relax at the Sauna Plateau
After maintaining your skis, you'll want to take good care of your body too. Our spacious bath area is equipped with a sauna where you can enjoy either automatic or self-service löyly (steam).
Sweat it out on your spring skiing, then sweat even more in our sauna plateau to wash away the day's fatigue.
6. Magic Gondola
On the first floor of the hotel, a vending machine resembling a gondola called "Magic Gondola" has appeared.
Skiing and snowboarding require a lot of equipment, and small items in particular are easy to forget or lose. This machine solves that problem with just one push, making it truly a "magic" presence for skiers and snowboarders.
You can purchase inner gloves, neck warmers, scrapers, anti-fog sprays, and other items 24 hours a day, making it easy to stop by and use even on a day trip
7. WHITETIME
You should definitely stop by " WHITE TIME ASAHIKAWA, " a mountain-themed concept store where you can rent carefully selected gear, snow wear, helmets, and more from "VECTOR GLIDE," Japan's first premium ski brand . You can try out models suited to the conditions from their extensive lineup, and you can purchase your favorite items on the spot. Day use is also available. (Opening hours: 7:00-10:00 / 17:00-21:00)
