About Tomamu
Traditional Japanese town Tomamu is known for its breathtaking views and great snow conditions, boasting an average of 14 metres of the white stuff annually! This Hokkaido based resort is only 90 minutes from Chitose Airport and is great for beginners and experts alike. The uncrowded slopes include tree bowls, beginners area and backcountry galore! Adventurers will be delighted as off-piste skiing is permitted at Tomamu, somewhat of a rarity for Japan!
Accommodation
There are two main hotels at Tomamu – The Tower and Risonare Tomamu. There is a convenient walkway tunnel connecting both properties allowing guests to access facilities and restaurants without going outside.
How to get there
Fly
The best airport to access Tomamu is Sapporo Chitose. When flying from Australia one stopover is required, the fastest route is via Tokyo (either Narita or Haneda airports) and then on to Sapporo Chitose (CTS). The direct flight from Sydney arrives into Haneda airport, whereas any direct flight from Melbourne or Brisbane arrives into Narita airport. Flight time to Tokyo is approximately 10 hours and 1h 35mins from Tokyo to Sapporo Chitose.
The city of Tokyo makes a great stopover destination; the city is full of culture and history while still offering an unlimited amount of shopping, dining and entertainment options. We recommend 3 days to enjoy all this city has to offer.
Another option is to fly via Hong Kong. Flight time to Hong Kong (HKG) is approximately 9h 30mins and 4h 45mins from Hong Kong to Sapporo Chitose (CTS). This city delivers a unique mix of East meets West and is home to some of the best cuisine around. We recommend 3 days to explore the city.
