Club Med, the premium all-inclusive holidays group, has unveiled plans to open its newest resort in Kiroro, Hokkaido, Japan in December 2022.

Club Med Kiroro, Japan will offer an ideal getaway for city dwellers – with one-of-a-kind untouched snow experience and natural environment right at the thick, where mountain meets ocean and offering guests access to some of the best powder snow in the world, with long ski seasons and fresh ski tracks.

Club Med Kiroro will be a takeover and combination of two existing properties to create one integrated snow resort with two distinctive buildings, located just a 3-minute buggy ride or a short gondola ride apart, that blends seamlessly with the Kiroro ski domain.

Club Med Kiroro will have two buildings, Club Med Kiroro Peak and Club Med Kiroro Grand, to offer different experiences for guests of various backgrounds. Designed for couples and families with teenagers alike, Club Med Kiroro Peak has a minimum age access of 12 years old while CIub Med Kiroro Grand houses a wide host of family-oriented activities and facilities suitable for all ages.

Guests can be excited to experience not only local Hokkaido culture, but also Club Med’s special touch of European influence as well from sampling the freshly baked pastries made with artisanal Hokkaido flour and the wide range of local wines and cheeses to indulging in an avant-garde dining experience that combines the best of Japanese local produce, know-how and the French savoir faire in their French Alps speciality restaurant.

“Club Med Kiroro lies in the outer bounds of the conventional, where being different and distinctive is the ordinary. With the resort’s accessibility, panoramic mountain views, quality powder snow in the winter and close to travel hotspots like Otaru coastal town, there are endless opportunities to create a constant stream of activities all-year-round. As we continue to invest and grow in our ski leadership with the goal of doubling our mountain capacity in Asia by 2023, we are excited to include another property in Japan yet keeping it distinctive from others. This addition to our ever-growing portfolio will allow guests to discover another side of Hokkaido in the heart of the untouched Kiroro domain.” said Henri Giscard d’Estaing, President of Club Med. “Club Med Kiroro’s one-of-a-kind facilities and unique experiences will appeal to thrill-seeking mavericks – a destination unconventional and unspoiled.”

Delivering an Unconventional Hokkaido experience

Known internationally as a powder skiing mecca and being situated on the outer fringes of Niseko between the south of Otaru city and to the west of Sapporo city in Hokkaido, Club Med Kiroro, Hokkaido boasts the finest powder snow in the world produced by the combination of Siberian winds meeting the cold waters of Hokkaido Island and has the most snowfall at 21m annually on average, more than anywhere else in the country.

Located 90-minute drive away from the New Chitose Airport and easily accessible by train to Otaru Chikko Station, the ski-in-ski-out resort offers snow enthusiasts direct access to an untouched ski domain with 23 courses for all levels and pristine off-piste ski slopes, providing avid skiers an unparalleled backcountry exploration across both the Asari and Nagamine mountains. Families too can have a ton of fun in the powdery snow with snowboarding, snowshoe experiences and a majestic snow park. To top it off, delight in a spectacular view of the ocean from the top of the mountains and revel in all that Hokkaido has to offer. This unique experience is nothing but exceptional.
