This time, I came to enjoy golf in Hokkaido at the Nidom Classic. Of course, I stayed at Hotel Nidom. The accommodation here is in cottage style, so you can feel like you're staying in a small villa. However, while there is a shuttle service available if you call, getting around is mainly done on foot, so it would be convenient to have a cart at each cottage. Now, onto the anticipated breakfast. There are both Japanese and Western options available. This time, I requested the Japanese breakfast. In terms of quantity and quality, it is reasonable for a resort hotel breakfast. [Nidom's Japanese set meal] - Original recipe green vegetable juice - Fresh seafood from the nearby sea, served as two kinds of sashimi - Seasonal Hokkaido vegetables simmered together - Grilled golden eye snapper seasoned with homemade Saikyo miso - Handmade rolled omelette with dashi - Two kinds of Hokkaido delicacies (Kazunoko and selected tarako) - Hokkaido rice "Yumepirika" - Miso soup (made with Mine Village Brewery's Snow Country miso), Kishu Nanko Ume plum, pickles, roasted seaweed - Seasonal fruits - Nidom Private Blend (coffee)

The Western-style breakfast here is the best in Japan.

I visited Hotel Nidom on July 29, 2017 for my cousin's wedding party. The resort is located in Tomakomai City and offers a wide range of facilities including a hotel, church, cottages, golf course, and tennis courts. It was a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, allowing me to relax and enjoy the cool, less humid weather of Hokkaido. The wedding ceremony took place at the Forest Church followed by a reception at the Water Terrace. The dishes served were made with fresh Hokkaido ingredients, showcasing the richness of the region's nature. I tried various dishes such as "Oosuke" (King Salmon), "Soi" (Black Rockfish), and Botan Ebi (Pandalid Shrimp), which were all delicious. The highlight was definitely the Kin Ki fish, known for its flavorful fat content. The string quartet played popular songs like "Torisetsu," "LOVE LOVE LOVE," and "LA・LA・LA LOVE SONG" during the party. After the grand celebration, I was taken back to Sapporo by the shuttle bus. Sapporo's Odori Park was bustling with people, but the cool weather made me think twice about having a beer at the beer garden.

In late October, I stayed here after taking a plane from Haneda and driving about 20 minutes from New Chitose Airport☆ The purpose was to see the autumn leaves and have a meal at the KinKin Tei on the premises*\(^o^)/* The autumn leaves were at their best and very beautiful!! Deer and squirrels are also nearby~ And this time, I stayed in a cottage in Squirrel Forest♪ You can take a bus from the main building to the cottage, but you can also walk there~ Inside, there is a living room, pantry, balcony, and downstairs, there are two bedrooms, a bathroom, WC, and a closet~ I wonder why the WC and closet are together, I don't really understand it. Before dinner, I went to the bath in the main building~ It was surprisingly normal? The bath was...? No, it felt different~(>_<) It was like a smaller version of a 300 yen public bath that I've never been to but imagined. The sauna was dimly lit and the temperature was low, making it comfortable♪ And finally, the much-awaited dinner! I made a reservation for the "Stay & Forest Izakaya Plan" to have a meal at KinKin Tei, but... it turned out that it was "off-season since last week", so we ended up having a Japanese course meal at the French restaurant in the main building... It's really strange, isn't it (laughs) The meal included: - Appetizer: Chef's special dish - Hassun: Assorted 5 creative seasonal dishes - Sashimi: Fresh sashimi of 5 types of fish and shellfish mainly from Tomakomai area - Nimono: Simmered dish of fish, shellfish, and vegetables - Sumibiyaki: Charcoal-grilled dishes of KinKin fish, Wagyu beef, and seasonal ingredients grilled over binchotan charcoal - Meal: Seasonal mixed rice, pickles, soup - Dessert: Today's dessert by the head chef patissier The live performance by the quartet was wonderful. After the meal, I requested a 60-minute massage in my room, but a male masseur came^^; Apparently, you can also specify a female masseur when making a reservation, so it might be a good idea to mention it if you prefer a female masseur... And when I woke up in the morning and stepped out onto the balcony... I was greeted by a magnificent view!! The autumn leaves were amazing!!＼(^o^)／ Normally, meals are served in the restaurant, but since I had informed them in advance, I was able to have a wonderful breakfast on this balcony~!! Luckily, it was a clear day, the air was clean!! Having breakfast in the midst of the autumn leaves was the best!! However... - The wine I ordered was forgotten until I mentioned it again - They were supposed to call back to confirm the massage appointment time, but they didn't, so I had to call them - I would have appreciated a heads up that KinKin Tei was off-season - I felt uncomfortable with a male massage therapist, so I wish they had asked for my preference when making the reservation There were many things that I felt were lacking or could have been better (>_<)

I visited Hotel Nidom. It is a resort hotel where guests stay in cottages. I think many people stay here for weddings or golf. The restaurant here is very nice, both the food and the service. As you can see from the photos, the presentation is delicate and beautiful. The main dish could use a bit more sauce, but the taste was very delicious. The freshly baked bread was also very tasty! The cottages have small fireplaces, and the rooms are charming. I would love to stay here again.

In the beautiful coniferous forest of the vast Yufutsu wilderness, with lakes and marshes, there is a serene hotel called Hotel Nidom. Surrounded by nature, the hotel features a golf course, lakeside cottages, two churches, tennis courts, a pool, and a restaurant, all scattered within the forest. Upon arrival, guests drive through the trees and arrive at the hotel entrance in just over a minute. The hotel consists of a large building housing the front desk, restaurant, cafe, and banquet hall. Guests are then shuttled deeper into the forest to their cottages, which vary in design and layout. The cottages are Nordic-style log houses, each uniquely decorated with a warm and natural interior. The reviewer stayed in a two-and-a-half-story log house with bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, and a guest room. The cottages are situated on a sloping site, providing access to the lakeside. The hotel offers catering services for meals and drinks, making it convenient for guests. For breakfast, guests can choose between Japanese and Western options. The Japanese breakfast includes rice or congee with a variety of side dishes. The reviewer enjoyed the traditional Japanese breakfast with a generous selection of dishes. The log house cottages, made of Finnish Polar Pine, blend seamlessly with the surrounding nature, providing a comfortable and peaceful stay. The reviewer expressed interest in staying in a different building on the property in the future.

Since it was Friday the 10th, I flew from Haneda Airport to Hokkaido after work. I arrived in Chitose in the evening, or rather at night, and headed to Hotel Nidom. It was dark outside, so I couldn't see the surroundings, but the next morning when I went outside, I was surprised. "Wow, it's beautiful!" I didn't know, but there is a golf course here. For golf guests, there are 25 cottages for 4 people and 2 cottages for 12 people. Since I arrived at night, I only had breakfast at the restaurant. There were Western and Japanese options, but I wasn't in the mood for Japanese, so I chose Western. The clear air, beautiful scenery, and stylish restaurant made for a great breakfast. The hotel also has an izakaya, so I wanted to try having dinner there as well.

At the beginning of July, I visited Hotel Nidom in Tokyo to escape the heat that exceeded 30 degrees every day. The temperature difference between Hokkaido and Tokyo is 10 degrees, making it instantly comfortable upon landing at the airport. I initially thought this place was a golf resort, but it is officially a wedding resort. There are four weddings daily with many guests staying, and golf enthusiasts are a minority. The majority prefer to play golf at nearby hotels. Despite the celebratory atmosphere, the accommodations are all spacious two-story cottages, each separated from the others, ensuring a peaceful stay. The surroundings are filled with the sounds of birds in the morning, insects at night, and the constant sound of water if you listen closely. Each cottage has a balcony or terrace on both floors, with ample seating for four or more people. It's a great place to stay secluded, but be cautious if you enjoy wine. The hotel has limited options for purchasing wine, so it's best to buy some beforehand. Golf enthusiasts can enjoy 45 holes, including a tournament course, within walking distance from the clubhouse. Breakfast can be enjoyed at the hotel restaurant or clubhouse. The service is better at the golf course, making it a recommended option even for non-golfers. I had been wanting to stay and play golf here for over a decade, and I finally fulfilled that wish.
