When you stay at Risonare, it’s hard not to go on about the views. The two tower blocks are full of facilities and luxuries to enjoy – and whether you’re relaxing in your hot tub, visiting one of the restaurants or even catching up on emails in the study, the views are phenomenal.

The rooms here are light and minimalistic, each with its own private hot tub and sauna. Just the thing after kicking off your boots to unwind and get toasty again. Speaking of keeping warm, if Tomamu’s ice bar sounds a bit too chilled for your liking, there are stylish, modern Books & Café lounge and reception areas downstairs for some peaceful après cosiness.

Come breakfast you’ve a choice of Japanese or Western style and there are some great opportunities to try other Hokkaido favourites throughout the day. Between Risonare’s own four restaurants, the neighbouring Towers or nearby Firefly Alley, you’ve dozens of options for dining – and shabu-shabu, a Japanese, shared hot pot, Tomamu's signature ramen and curry soup all make for superb winter warmers.
