The Tomamu Hoshino Resort in Kamikawa Village, Hokkaido, covers a total area of 40 hectares, including four main buildings and 757 guest rooms. It is renowned for its ski slopes, Cloud Sea Café, and the Water Church designed by architect Tadao Ando. Its dreamlike scenery often attracts international tourists and makes it a well-known resort in the area. Among them, the Water Church gained fame among Taiwanese couples as a dream wedding venue after featuring in the music video for Fish Leong’s song “Admire.”
