THE NEW SKI CITY ASAHIKAWA
Hitting the slopes?
Why not try a city stay
Skiing in Hokkaido’s a lot of fun, that part’s a given.
But when you start adding up food, hotel fees, and resort fees,
well...What about staying inside the city? The price is surprisingly reasonable!
With the same budget, you could have a longer and more enjoyable stay.
Hit those ski slopes in Asahikawa this winter
and enjoy everything the ski city has to offer!
4 Benefits of Asahikawa, the New Ski City
- Choose the slopes with the best conditions for the day
- Never fall prey to the whims of winter weather—with a range of slopes to choose from, you can pick the best location for the day based on snowfall and weather conditions, then get dressed and out the door without a second thought!
- After-ski experiences only available in the city
- Surrounding the hotel is a treasure trove of over 2,000 shops and restaurants, full of local delicacies at incredibly reasonable prices. Explore hidden gems of the area unavailable at standard, secluded ski resorts.
