ICE VILLAG
ICE VILLAGE TOMAMU 2023
Hello everyone!
Today, I would like to introduce an indispensable event of HOKKAIDO winter
Winter in Tomamu, where the temperature drops to -30 ℃, but there is an ice town called "Ice Village" that always appears at "Hoshino Resorts Tomamu". Since its establishment in 1998, it has become a popular winter event in Tomamu.
You can relax on ice tables and chairs while looking at the ice village made of ice and snow. In addition, there is a Church and a hotel made from a large, seamless ice block. You can't resist coming here without a thick coat...☺️☺️☺️
Address: Tomamu Ice Village
This year's Tomamu Ice Village is scheduled to open at the following times:

Sunflower Village
Sunflower Village in Hokuryu Town, Hokkaido
You can see many kinds of sunflowers, including the common sunflowers with brown seeds and sunflower flowers!!
There was a sunflower maze, but it seems to be available depending on the season, so please check.
I went there before COVID-19, but you can maintain social distance and it's outside, so I think it would be nice to go for a drive.
The soft serve ice cream was also delicious, hot under the blue sky.

Hokkaido has more than lavender and moss phlox, there are also sunflower fields. Located in the central Hokkaido Uryu district, the Hokuryu-cho flower field was opened in 1989. It covers an area of 23 hectares, equivalent to 5 Tokyo Domes, and is planted with more than 1.5 million sunflowers, making it the largest sunflower field in Japan. Sunflowers bloom from mid-July to mid-August every year, and the view is a vast sea of gold. The flower field also has facilities such as an observation deck, a sunflower maze, and an indoor market.
Sunflower fans must go there. The scene you see for 300 yen is worth the price.
