WINTER POWDER · SUMMER MOUNTAINS · FAMILY ADVENTURES
TWO DISTINCT HOLIDAYS
Start with the season.
Hokkaido changes completely through the year. Winter is about powder snow and an inclusive ski routine; summer is about fresh mountain air, nature, movement and an easier family pace.
01
Winter in Hokkaido
Compare Tomamu, Sahoro, Kiroro Grand and Kiroro Peak by ski ability, family facilities, resort atmosphere and non-ski activities. Each offers an all-inclusive winter stay, but the right fit depends on who is travelling.
02
Summer in Hokkaido
Choose Tomamu for a broader family programme and iconic scenery, or Kiroro Grand for a calmer mountain break with nature, movement and onsen time. Both offer cooler weather and a different Hokkaido experience after the snow.
