The staff dressed up as Hokkaido animals will serve you.
From October 1 to 31st, OMO7 Asahikawa will hold the Hokkaido Animal Crossing Halloween event where animals from Hokkaido will entertain guests at the hotel.
Since Halloween is all about costumes, staff dressed up as Hokkaido animals will entertain guests. The entire first floor, centered around OMO Base, will be decorated in the image of Hokkaido’s autumn forest. The Asahiyama Zoo Lecture, which is held every day at OMO Base, will also feature Hokkaido animals as its theme.
At OMO Cafe & Bar, limited edition sweets featuring brown bears will also be available, allowing guests to enjoy a Halloween that is uniquely Hokkaido throughout their stay.

Helping guests stay as a concierge. Here are some recommended shops and walking spots that I know only because I run around Asahikawa every day.
・Yezo deer
When you enter OMO Base, you will be greeted by Yezo deer. They look over the OMO Base from a wide perspective and guide you to the front counter. Yezo deer also help you take photos.
・Yezo snow rabbit
Guests arriving at the hotel receive a complimentary welcome drink from Yezo snow rabbit. This original drink is made from honeysuckle *1 and aronia *2.
