Hoshino Resort Tomamu The Tower

This family-friendly hotel is located only a few minutes from the ski lifts and aims to comfortably blend Japanese design and clever use of space with western comfort and modernity. The hotel features a huge range of activities for adults and children alike as well as plenty of dining options and a huge convenience store for - you guessed it - your convenience.

The rooms are split into four levels and while the floor space and a number of beds changes between the rooms, the amenities remain the same. Each apartment is fitted with great entertainment systems, lovely views and free Wi-Fi - if that isn't enough to keep the kids occupied then keep reading! The rooms also feature a refrigerator and electric kettle, laundry facilities and a large ensuite bathroom, meaning you'll feel comfortable and right at home here.

One of the hotels' biggest drawcards is its stunning Japanese-style outdoor bath and the large wave pool that they refer to as a beach. The gorgeous onsen-style bath is situated looking out across the serene forest and snowscape and, when paired with a visit to the hotel's relaxation room, is an ideal destination for some relaxation and unwinding. The beach, though, is great for kids - featuring hours of fun for kids (and adults) of all ages. The hotel features a large range of dining options from across the world as well as a lovely, modern café library that doubles as a bar during the evening which looks out across beautiful surrounding landscape year round. The ski enthusiasts will love the ski storage and rental service while parents and families might enjoy a trip to the games room. To top it all off, the hotel is serviced by a 24-hour reception desk and a myriad of English speaking, enthusiastic and friendly staff.
