How to get there

Where is Tomamu Ski Resort?
Tomamu is situated about 150 km to the East of Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan.

The small town of Tomamu sits about 5 minutes below the resort but it only consists of several houses and no shops. The nearest decent sized town, Shintoku, is a 20 minute train ride away.

Other resorts nearby Other resorts nearby include Furano (1 hour by bus) and Sohoro Resort.

How to get to Tomamu From Sapporo International Airport
BY TRAIN - Tomamu is a very comfortable 1 hour express train trip from the Minami Chitose station which can be accessed via the Sapporo international airport (New Chitose) train station (one stop away). The train travels directly to the Tomamu train station which is only a 5 minute bus ride from the resort. Complimentary transfer buses are at the platform to meet each arriving train which will take your to your hotel.

BY CAR - The drive takes about 2 hours. Take the Do-to Expressway from the Chitose Higashi IC, which is a 15 minute drive from New Chitose Airport, to the Yubari IC. Take National Route 274 for Obihiro and go through the Hotaka Tunnel. Go past the sign for Shimukappu-mura, and then turn left at the Meiseki PA on the right which has a sign pointing to Shimukappu.

From Sapporo
BY CAR - Take the Do-oh and Do-to expressways from the Sapporo IC to the Yubari IC via the Chitose Eniwa JCT. Take National Route 274 for Obihiro and then follow directions as above. The drive takes about 2 hours 10 minutes.

From Furano
BY BUS - The bus trip from Furano to Tomamu takes about 1 hour and costs only 2,000 yen (convert here). You can book bus tickets at the Furano Tourist Information Centre located at the base of the Kitanomine gondola.

Getting Around Tomamu Getting around between the accommodation and restaurants areas is very easy. The entire village is linked together by a very efficient and regular shuttle bus service that stops at the hotels, resort centre and spa centre every 15 minutes. Some of the shuttle buses are super wide and it's difficult to resist the temptation to take a photo of these monster buses!

It's easy to walk between the Tower Hotel and Galleria Tower Suite Hotel and their associated restaurants via the Sky Walk. This is an indoor passageway that passes through the forest. It might be indoors but it's not warm, so rug up!
