When a friend suggested to try out the new Club Med Tomamu in Hokkaido, I jumped at it. It's unlimited skiing at a ski resort surrounded by snow and good food and comes with an indoor heated pool. All paired with Japan's hospitality.
Sounds like a dream? Oh yes.
The room was divine. And unusually spacious (given that it's club med). The once a week king crab buffer dinner was one of the many highlights on the trip. My only complain was the lack of snow in late March, and since they were new (it was their first season), there were hiccups in the bookings which meant we missed flying in together with our friends. In return they did shower us with more king crabs for 3 days in a row. I am done with king crabs for a long time.
The ice bar nearby was already closed for the season by the time we flew in which was really a shame. But the wave pool was fun, and indoor spa (non-natural hot spring) came in handy after a long day on the slope. I was particularly in love with the Nest Bar's cosy environment, I could visit this bar every day. And having toasted marshmallow on the top of the snow mountain was quite a unique and yummy experience. I just wish I had gotten more time on the slope.
