As the year draws to a close and winter deepens, it's time to start planning your holidays and getaways. Here are Asia’s top five ski resorts where you can relax in the snow and enjoy a wonderful vacation.

1. CLUB MED HOKKAIDO
Hokkaido boasts world-class powder snow, and the Tomamu Ski Area spans over 145 hectares with 29 slopes catering to all levels from beginners to experts. CLUB MED offers guests an “All-Day Ski Pass” allowing unlimited access to the slopes and lifts, and the ski area is ski-in/ski-out, meaning no need to travel back and forth between the resort and the slopes.

The resort features two restaurants and two bars, offering international cuisine and local Hokkaido specialties around the clock. The bar also provides tea tasting sessions and Japanese shochu for sampling. The themed restaurant Haku serves authentic Japanese yakiniku (grilled meat), allowing you to enjoy juicy, fresh grilled meat indoors while admiring the snowy scenery outside.

2. KARUIZAWA HOSHINO RESORT TOMAMU
KARUIZAWA HOSHINO RESORT TOMAMU places great emphasis on the relationship between the hotel and nature. Whether it's garden landscape design, native flora and fauna, or food and cuisine, the focus is on preserving the local environment and culture. The resort features 77 standalone villas, each with its own living room, bedroom, private onsen, and terrace.

Known as the “Kingdom of Skiing,” Nagano Prefecture benefits from its terrain to offer some of the finest and most naturally superior powder snow along with comfortable hot springs, making it home to many world-class ski resorts. Among them, the ski resorts at Hakuba Happo-One and Shiga Kogen in Yamanouchi Town are particularly popular among skiing enthusiasts.
