The town of Asahikawa, which is said to be the second largest city in Hokkaido, serves as a "base" for snowboarders traveling in this area.Located in a corner of the powder belt, it is easy to access the surrounding ski resorts (Tomamu, Furano, Kamui, etc.) and mountainous areas (Kurodake, Daisetsuzan Asahidake, etc.).
The town is packed with restaurants and bars where you can fully enjoy the local atmosphere, and it is highly fulfilling in terms of after-snow sightseeing.It is the perfect place for snowboarders who want to enjoy not only skiing but also the charm of the city, including its food and culture.
And OMO7 Asahikawa, a hotel in the city, has been announced as an inn for snow sports enthusiasts who visit here.
