Your Powder Paradise Awaits<br />
Hokkaido isn’t just a winter<br />
sports destination; it’s<br />
a powder paradise.<br />
Imagine the finest, lightest snow<br />
blanketing every inch of the<br />
mountain, shrouding the world<br />
in a serene white canvas.<br />
“Club Med Hokkaido sits<br />
right in the heart of this<br />
magical winter wonderland,<br />
ready to whisk you away on<br />
an unforgettable holiday,” said<br />
Travel View’s Sharon Godden.<br />
“Whether you’re a family seeking<br />
thrills and laughter, or a couple<br />
yearning for cozy nights and<br />
romantic adventures, it has<br />
something for everyone.<br />
Families can embark on a<br />
thrilling ski experience amidst<br />
endless snow and après-ski<br />
activities in a resort inspired by<br />
the beauty of Japan. Designed to<br />
be beginner-friendly and perfect<br />
for young families, Club Med<br />
Hokkaido offers powder snow<br />
for all skill levels, coupled with a<br />
variety of off-slope delights.<br />
“From savoring Japanese<br />
delicacies to non-stop fun<br />
in the nearby ice village<br />
and access to the largest<br />
indoor pool in Japan, Club<br />
Med Hokkaido resorts<br />
transform the winter<br />
wonderland into a reality<br />
for all.<br />
“And if you’re after an<br />
escape for two, Hokkaido<br />
beckons – a pristine winter<br />
wonderland where Club<br />
Med invites you to recharge and<br />
indulge with your loved one.<br />
“Imagine thrilling downhill<br />
runs through untouched<br />
powder, together conquering<br />
black diamond challenges, or<br />
learning the ropes on gentle<br />
slopes.”<br />
But Hokkaido’s magic extends<br />
far beyond.<br />
“You’ll feast on Hokkaido’s<br />
bounty, from melt-in-yourmouth<br />
Wagyu beef to the<br />
freshest seafood delicacies, all<br />
paired with award-winning local<br />
sake. And cozy izakayas and<br />
private dining offer intimate<br />
settings for couples.”<br />
Other Club Med Hokkaido<br />
resorts include Club Med Kiroro<br />
which features two distinctive<br />
resorts: Kiroro Peak – perfect<br />
for couples and families with<br />
teenagers alike; and Kiroro<br />
Grand – where you’ll step into<br />
an ‘Enchanted Forest’ design<br />
and discover a dreamlike<br />
wonderland inspired by nature<br />
and fairytales. (Newly opened<br />
in December 2023, this unique<br />
resort caters to families of all<br />
ages, with kids’ facilities for 2<br />
years and above.)<br />
“Or consider Sahoro<br />
Hokkaido, where you<br />
can explore the best<br />
powder snow, pure fresh<br />
air, traditional Japanese<br />
cuisine, and a wealth of<br />
family journeys,” said<br />
Sharon.<br />
“For skiers of all levels,<br />
its mountains feature<br />
a larger ski domain,<br />
with a snow park, and a<br />
gondola.<br />
“With expertly guided<br />
ski lessons, horseback riding,<br />
a relaxing outdoor Canadian<br />
bath, and endless pursuits for<br />
children, a holiday tradition<br />
spent here will create indelible<br />
memories for your friends and<br />
family.”<br />
Meanwhile at Club Med<br />
Tomamu, fresh seafood,<br />
premium Wagyu beef, and<br />
award-winning locally brewed<br />
spirits make this more than a<br />
destination to discover, but a<br />
culinary journey to enjoy.<br />
