During our summer vacation trip to Hokkaido, we visited Tomamu and enjoyed clam chowder and cocoa with my family while viewing the sea of clouds. The location is just perfect, even if the sea of clouds isn't visible. The scenery is amazing, so I highly recommend it. The food was delicious.

Cafe with a cloud theme ♬ Cute! Delicious! Fluffy! It was crowded but we received our order faster than expected ♩ Visited during a busy period ♫ Definitely expect a crowd when you visit, ended up waiting in line... There were 3 or 4 registers, so ordering was smooth. We got cloud soft serve, cloud soda, macarons, and more in about 6 minutes. The cotton candy on the cloud soda was specially treated so it didn't melt easily, which was great! The terrace and indoor seating were always full!! If you want to take a break, it might be better to reserve a seat before ordering ♪ I want to go again!

Hoshino Resort Tomamu is known for its "Cloud Terrace." This café is located near the summit, reached by gondola, offering a variety of menu items inspired by clouds. Some of the popular items include: Cloud Soft Serve (600 yen including tax) and Cloud Sea Soda (600 yen including tax). Despite waking up early at 4 am and taking the gondola at 4:30 am, the day was unfortunately cloudy (or rainy) and there was no cloud sea to be seen. However, at least I was able to try the famous sweets and it helped brighten my slightly disappointed mood. By the way, the Cloud Soft Serve not only looks impressive, but also tastes delicious!

At the end of July, I went on a trip to Hokkaido. On the first day, I stayed at the Hoshino Resort Tomamu The Tower, with the hope of seeing the sea of clouds. The weather had not been great the day before, and there was only a 40% chance of seeing the sea of clouds on this day. However, we were lucky and were able to witness the beautiful Pacific-type sea of clouds! It was truly a breathtaking sight! The cafe at the resort operates like a Starbucks, where you place your order and wait for it to be served. Since seating was limited, I suggest taking your order to go and enjoying the view while walking around. I ordered the Cloud Sea Latte, which was sweet and delicious. Overall, it was a successful choice.

A cafe with a cloud theme. I woke up at 3:30 am and took the gondola at 4:30 am to admire the sea of clouds before heading to the cafe. The coffee came with marshmallows in the shape of clouds. The iced drinks were also themed in blue and white to resemble clouds. It was a relaxing experience to enjoy the sea of clouds in the morning.

In the clouds with Cloud Soft & Cloud Sea Coffee.. Heading to Hoshino Resort Tomamu in Hokkaido. Took the gondola before 6 am to reach the Unkai Terrace. When we reached the top, it was all white in the clouds ☁️. Although it was sunny on the ground, unfortunately, we couldn't see anything from the Unkai Terrace that day. Since we came all the way, we decided to have coffee at the café ☕️. It was early morning before breakfast, so we had soft serve ice cream. It was the first time I saw soft serve ice cream in this shape. It was quite delicious. It would have been even better if it was sunny, but we'll come back for a rematch someday. ^ ^

I came to Tomamu in Hokkaido to see the sea of clouds. I stayed at Club Med Tomamu and woke up early to go to the Star Resort Tomamu Cloud Terrace. When I arrived, it was all white! Disappointed... I regained my composure and ordered a Cloud Soft Serve for 600 yen and a Cloud Sea Coffee for 600 yen at Cloud Cafe. I want to challenge again to see a beautiful sea of clouds like the Cloud Soft Serve next time. Thank you for the meal.

On the second day at Tomamu, after enjoying a hearty breakfast buffet to recharge our stamina, we headed to the ski slopes! The ski slopes are right in front of Tomamu The Tower, so it's very convenient to get there. The slopes were wide, not too crowded, and it seemed like the snow wasn't piled up too much, maybe because the ski season was coming to an end. Before hitting the slopes, we decided to take a ride on the Cloud 9 Gondola from the nearby Resort Center to explore the "Frost Tree Terrace". We received complimentary Cloud 9 Gondola sightseeing tickets when we checked in, so we could ride the gondola as much as we wanted during our stay. (Regular round-trip gondola fare: Adults 2,200 yen, Elementary school students 1,300 yen *Free to use with a lift ticket) The gondola had a mix of skiers and people in casual clothes. The 13-minute ride on the gondola from the base of the mountain to the top offered breathtaking views of the snow-covered mountains. Although we couldn't see the frost trees due to the warmer weather, we could still enjoy the majestic view of the Hidaka mountain range and the crisp clear air. The slopes have various courses for beginners, intermediates, and advanced skiers, so everyone can enjoy skiing according to their skill level. The Cloud Bar, with a counter and chairs about 3 meters above ground and 13 meters in length, provided a thrilling experience. My husband and daughter were a bit scared, so I ended up sitting there alone. Climbing the ladder and sitting there, I felt a mix of fear and exhilarating openness, with the stunning mountain views. There's also the Cloud Walk observation deck, which extends from the ground, offering a panoramic view of the vast landscape. It's said to give a feeling of walking on fluffy clouds, but in reality, it felt more like a suspension bridge, making us cross it nervously without fully enjoying the view. After exploring, we stopped by the cafe at the Frost Tree Terrace. "Cloud Cafe" is located at an altitude of 1,088m. The cozy interior was full, so we couldn't find a seat. They offer cloud-themed drinks and sweets. We decided to try the "Cloud Soft Serve @600 yen (tax included)" - a cute soft serve ice cream shaped like fluffy clouds. Despite its appearance, it had a milky and rich flavor, which we enjoyed while taking in the good weather outside. My daughter, who loves soft serve ice cream, almost finished the large portion by herself. Back at the base of the mountain Resort Center where we returned on the gondola, there is a food court for lunch options. They offer ramen, pork bowls, curry, gelato, and more. Despite having a leisurely breakfast buffet, we weren't hungry for lunch and ended up skipping it. In the afternoon, we had booked a kids ski school for our daughter's first ski experience. She had a thorough 2-hour lesson in the beginner class with a dedicated coach. (Snow Academy)

I went to the Unkai Cafe at Hoshino Resort Tomamu! I was excited to see the amazing view from the Unkai Terrace, but unfortunately, the road to the terrace was blocked by snow in winter. It seems like you can only visit the Unkai Terrace in summer. Despite this setback, I tried the famous Cloud Soft Serve at the cafe. It looked like a piece of art and tasted delicious with a rich milky flavor. The Cloud Soda with cotton candy floating on top was also a delightful treat. It was so soothing to watch the cotton candy melt into the soda. Don't forget to take some Instagram-worthy photos with the stunning backdrop!

In September 2022, I was able to see a miraculous sea of clouds, and the weather was perfect, making it the best condition. After taking photos at the cloud terrace, I took a break at the cafe. The cloud sea soft serve ice cream looked cute and tasted delicious with rich milk, but it was a bit difficult to eat! It was cool, but it melted quickly. The latte with the beautiful contrast of blue and white was a bit sweet but tasty. The cloud terrace seems to be weather-dependent, but I'm glad I was able to visit. Thank you for the meal.

Stayed at Hoshino Resort Tomamu. Checked the hotel information monitor at night and it said, "30% chance of cloud sea tomorrow. Maximum wait time for gondola is 80 minutes." Fell asleep soundly and woke up at 4:30 am to find it completely foggy outside. Well, more like cloudy. Realized that the hotel was currently at the bottom of the cloud sea, so quickly headed to the "Cloud Terrace" at dawn. Took the hotel's free shuttle bus to the gondola station. As I expected, the wait time for the gondola was only 10 minutes. It was not crowded. Seems like everyone saw the hotel monitor the day before and decided not to go to the Cloud Terrace. Got off the gondola and encountered thick fog. Walked around the Cloud Terrace and waited for 1 hour. The fog cleared for just 30 seconds and I saw the cloud sea. But without a blue sky, the cloud sea doesn't look as impressive. So, decided to take a break at the "Cloud Cafe." A classy spot where you can enjoy light meals while looking at the cloud sea. Since I was cold from the fog, I ordered the "Clam Chowder" for 800 yen, but it was sold out. Skipped the famous Cloud Soft Serve and Cloud Sea Soda as I was freezing. Ended up ordering the "Cloud Cocoa" with cloud-shaped marshmallows for 600 yen. Sweet and delicious. Warmed me up.

We decided to visit the popular spot (attraction) at Hoshino Resort Tomamu, the Cloud Terrace. We took a bus from the Tower building to the gondola station. After a 15-minute gondola ride, we arrived at the place known as the Cloud Terrace. Although the gondola starts running around 4:30 in the morning, it can get crowded with people wanting to see the sea of clouds. So, we had breakfast early and managed to arrive around 7:00 without having to wait in line. Surprisingly, it wasn't crowded, and we were able to enjoy the beautiful scenery, even though there were no clouds. We took a walk around and then headed to the cafe near the gondola station. My wife and I had coffee, while our son chose ice cream. We received our orders and sat at an outdoor table. Despite the chairs being slightly wet from the previous day's rain, we found a dry spot to sit and enjoyed the moment. The coffee had a slightly acidic taste, but when we added the cloud-shaped marshmallow, it became milder and more enjoyable. I tried some of my son's ice cream, and it was rich and delicious, with a texture that seemed to prevent it from melting quickly. We dressed warmly, expecting it to be cold, but the temperature was just right, making it a refreshing experience. If you visit Hoshino Resort Tomamu during a season other than winter, I highly recommend visiting this place.

Early morning at Tomamu. Headed to the gondola to achieve one of my goals. Arrived at the Cloud Terrace, but unfortunately, there was no sea of clouds to be seen. Enjoyed a warm coffee while watching the clouds and the sun peeking through. Cloud Coffee priced at 600 yen with cloud marshmallow. The coffee had a strong flavor. Slowly felt the sweetness of the marshmallow while sipping the coffee. It had a nice chewy texture, not the usual fluffy marshmallow. It was quite delicious. Wondering when I can come back again. It was a trip blessed with sunny days, but unfortunately, I couldn't see the sea of clouds in return.

I took the first gondola ride and enjoyed the sea of clouds before heading to the cloud cafe. It was very cold, so I hesitated to order a cold drink and soft serve, but I decided to order them anyway! The soft serve was sweet. The macarons were also cute, so I ended up buying them. They would make a great souvenir too.

I was worried about the weather, but I was able to see a sea of clouds! I woke up early and worked hard!! And it was cold! I felt happy while drinking warm cocoa. My child unknowingly ate the marshmallows Σ(￣。￣ﾉ)ﾉ The taste was so-so. But the wonderful view made it taste delicious!

In summer, I went to Tomamu to see the sea of clouds. There is a cafe near the gondola station at the Cloud Terrace. I visited it both days during my 2-night stay. The cafe has limited seating, so it can be hard to get a table. I recommend going early or even late. The most popular item is the Cloud Soft Serve. The staff make the soft serve in a cute cloud shape. The milk in Hokkaido is rich and delicious. Even in summer, the Cloud Terrace can be chilly, so I also enjoyed the warm Cloud Coffee. It has a marshmallow cloud on top. They also have Cloud Soda, Cloud Cocoa, and Cloud Tea. For food, they offer Clam Chowder served with fluffy white bread. It was delicious. I bought some Cloud Macarons and Cloud Marshmallows as souvenirs. Having soft serve at 5 am was a first for me, and I probably won't experience it again. Overall, it was a unique and satisfying experience!

The Cloud Terrace at Hoshino Resort Tomamu. When I went snowboarding, I took the gondola to the top where the terrace is located. The specialty here is soft serve ice cream that resembles a sea of clouds. It was very cold in the middle of winter, but I really wanted to try it, so I bought and ate it. The facility was warm, so I was able to eat it without feeling cold. The taste is like regular soft serve ice cream but with a fluffier texture. I think it would be amazing to eat it on the outdoor terrace in the summer, but unfortunately it was snowing heavily, so I ate it inside the facility. There are also very tall chairs located 100 meters away from the facility, but we had to give up due to the heavy snowstorm. I would like to visit again during a better season.

After gliding gracefully down the powder snow slopes of Tomamu, head towards the summit for a breathtaking terrace view! To reach the Ice Terrace, take a bus to the Resort Center Station and then hop on a gondola. Guests staying at Club Med or other accommodations like Tomamu The Tower or Hoshino Resort Tomamu can enjoy the slopes right in front of them. Make sure to bring your ticket to the Ice Terrace gondola ride. On a clear day, the view from the terrace is stunning. Don't forget to visit the Cloud Cafe for a unique experience. Be sure to check the weather before heading up to the Ice Terrace, as it may be closed on bad weather days. Don't miss out on the limited edition treats like Cloud Coffee or Ice Chocolate, but get there early as they tend to sell out quickly. After enjoying the Ice Terrace, take a short walk to picturesque spots like the high chairs or the suspension bridge for some great photo opportunities. The snowy path may be challenging, but the views are definitely worth it!

After visiting the frost-covered terrace, I warmed up at the Cloud Cafe. I had the "Glowing Cider" for 600 yen and the "Cloud Macaron" for 700 yen. The prices were a bit high, but reasonable for the experience. The cider came with cotton candy resembling clouds on top. The soft-serve ice cream was also shaped like clouds and looked adorable.

When I went on a family trip to Tomamu, I used this place. The location is above the clouds! It is located inside the gondola station on the way to the famous tourist spot of Tomamu, the Cloud Terrace. I thought if I came this far, I should also use this place. I ordered the cloud soft serve, cloud sea soda, and cloud coffee. I wanted to order the frost coffee and frost chocolate as well, but unfortunately they were sold out. I ordered each item. The cloud soft serve is shaped like a cloud, and I have no idea how they make it, but it looks just like a cloud and is perfect for photos. The taste is delicious too. The cloud sea soda has cotton candy on top of the soda. This also looks great in photos. The cloud coffee comes with a cloud marshmallow, so if you order cloud coffee, you will get a cloud marshmallow even if you don't specifically order it. Just coming up in the gondola and drinking coffee here is special.
