The undeniable beauty of the powdery Hokkaido mountains will make you feel all romantic. Recreate your own romantic scenes in the movie (we love this scene in the screencap above) and remember to take lots of photos for memories.

There’s one scene in the movie where the two protagonists ringed the famous Lover’s Sanctuary Bell. Situated under a stone arch, the bell is said to bring love luck and fortune to all those who ring it. There’s no reason not to try it out when you are there!

In KIRORO, the winter valleys are the snowiest on Earth. The mountains are renowned for regular snowfall, accumulating vast amounts of light and dry powder snow at an average of 21 meters, during a ski season that lasts up to 150 days.

If you love to ski and want to experience the exhilarating thrill of zipping past panoramic mountains, it does not get any better than at KIRORO. Featuring 21 ski trails and nine gondolas, KIRORO is fast attracting avid skiers from all around the world. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced level, there’s a trail for you here.

If you are planning a family holiday with your kids, KIRORO Resort offers kids’ ski lessons so they too can get in on the action. At the Annie Kids Ski Academy, founded by gold and silver Olympic medallist Annie Famose, your children can be guided by trained instructors in a focused ski programme to learn skiing skills.

Not feeling particularly adventurous for skiing? There are lots of other fun snow activities which are not as high octane that both adults and kids can enjoy together, like snowmobiles, snow rafting, snow shoe trekking, snow buggies, and snow Segway.

Don’t worry that your younger kids will be bored. From entertaining performances to safe snow activities like sledding and building snow castles, there are endless fun to be explored here.

Tired from all that skiing and playing around in the snow? Check into the Japanese onsen here to rejuvenate your aching body and refresh your senses. A steaming hot soak amidst the chilly winter air is the best thing ever!
