Tomamu: The twin-tower high-rise hotel rises from the earth and seems to blend into the sky, and pools and spas are scattered throughout the vast grounds. Resort stays can be enjoyed throughout the season, from the "UNKAI Terrace" in summer, where you can gaze at a sea of clouds, to the slopes in winter, where the real pleasure of powder snow is unforgettable.

Local Guide FAQ

What do you recommend in the Tomamu area (places, experiences, food)?: Curry in Furano? You may think, "Curry in Furano? Omu Curry, a local gourmet dish, is also popular, and the watchword for refilling the roux in the restaurant is most distinctive. We hope you will try another serving of curry with the words "Rurururu..." just like in "Kita no kuni kara" (from the northern part of Japan)!

Please sneak in some hole-in-the-wall places that you know because you live there.: This is a small bakery called "sora no kujira. I recommend the several kinds of koppeban, and it is also good to order a drink with it and take a break to recover from the fatigue of driving in the vast Hokkaido.

Where did you travel to last year and with whom?: I went to the Philippines with my friends. We went diving in Cebu Island and enjoyed the sea for the first time in a long time since I usually live in the forest. One of the most wonderful experiences was swimming with whale sharks. It was amazing to see them open their big mouths and eat their food right in front of me. We ate Filipino food every day and had a great time.

What do you do on your days off?: I will definitely go out! We drive around as much as time allows, shopping, sightseeing, and driving around in search of delicious food. I love taking pictures, so I take photos of the beautiful scenery of Hokkaido wherever I go.

Is there anything you always take with you on a trip?: My camera and notebook. I keep photos of my precious memories and record them in my notebook like a travel diary of the places I visited and the food I ate that day. I not only keep the photos as data, but also develop them and make albums of them, or hang them in my room to soak up the afterglow and be happy for a while.
