Forget Niseko! Stay HERE for a JAPAN SKI TRIP Instead – OMO7 Asahikawa Hokkaido (Niseko Alternative)

Forget Niseko… Forget Hakuba. If you’re chasing Japow without the crowds (or the crowd prices), Asahikawa is the Hokkaido ski base no one’s talking about — and OMO7 Asahikawa by Hoshino Resorts is hands-down the place to stay.

In this video I’m giving you the full hotel tour, including the polar bear and penguin themed rooms (yes, they’re as cute as they look 🐧🐻‍❄️), plus everything you need to plan your own powder trip.
