SCOUT REVIEW
The Tower hotel in Tomamu is a very busy and vibrant hotel that has 500 rooms. It is a Japanese-Western style hotel although it would be safe to say it is more western than Japanese. It is a very family friendly hotel – conveniently located just steps away from the main ski lifts.
The Tower Hotel in Tomamu offers a variety of room types including standard rooms with twin beds and living areas and family rooms which have a sleeping room for up to five people and living area. Most of the hotel rooms were renovated about three years ago, and the the standard twin and triple rooms have had a slight re-furbishment. All of the rooms offer western style accommodation and amenities. In general, they have the typical soft colors you will find in most Japanese hotels, but they feel fresh and have a pop of colour here and there. Some of the views from the rooms on the higher floors are amazing and Scout recommends that you request for a room with slope side views to have better views of the mountains.
The Tower Tomamu has a café which Scout loves – it even serves relatively decent coffee by Japanese standards. The café is beautifully designed with a Scandinavian touch and features big picturesque windows. Although the hotel does not have an onsite restaurant, it has connecting walkways to numerous dining options or you can take the bus to the various restaurants in the ski area. Dinner can be included in a package via Scout, for a discounted price compared to purchasing when there.
The hotel has tons of facilities including a game room, ski rental shop, souvenir shop, and many more.

Scout Customer Reviews
The Towers accommodation was spacious, clean and comfortable. The resort ski rental was excellent, where at the end of the day you just hand your gear at a building at the base of the ski lifts and hotel entrance and they put it away for you to claim next morning when you are ready to go. The Ice Village was a highlight of the trip (especially for my daughter), and a must see on one the nights you stay there. Food was good but marginally dearer then anywhere else in Japan, and because of the location (2 bus stops away) we didn't use the Onsen. There were large charter groups from China which made the feel of the place more crowded than we are used to, but the hotels and restaurants are well organised, and we never had to wait very long for anything, and the service we received was excellent throughout. Overall I felt that Tomamu was an excellent ski resort and despite its size, much better in handling large groups than Disney or Universal Studios. Yes it was busy, but it still felt spacious, and as I mentioned earlier we didn't have to wait long for anything, and I stress the service was excellent throughout.

Location
The Tower Tomamu is ski-in ski-out and right at the ski resort base so the ski school, child care and other facilities are all right there making it super easy for families. There is a bus which connects the hotel to various restaurants, the Risonare hotel and Mina Mina beach. It is a short walk to the Ice Village.
You can find The Tower on this Tomamu Village Map.

Scout Booking Terms & Conditions
- Availability: Booking of all packages & accommodation is subject to availability at time of confirmation of package option by customer.
- Rate includes: All associated taxes. Some hotels charge extra fees for parking, cots, rollaways etc. Such fees can be confirmed on request based on your requirements.
- Payment Schedule:
- Deposit: 25% of the full amount is due WITHIN 7 DAYS OF CONFIRMATION to secure the booking.
- Final Balance: Invoice will be issued for the remaining balance 80 days prior to departure. PAYMENT IS DUE 70 DAYS PRIOR to departure. Failure to pay by 70 days may result in the auto-cancellation of accommodation by the accommodation provider or late payment fees.
- Bookings within 70 days: Full payment is required within 7 days to secure the booking.
- Variations: In some circumstances suppliers may have different payment policies to the above. Additionally some Early Bird deals require full payment by or soon after the book-by date. In these instances Scout will clearly communicate any variances prior to confirmation.
- Cancellation Policy:
- All deposits are non-refundable once received.
- For balance payments made within 70-45 days prior to the trip the deposit amount is non-refundable.
- No refund for total amount for cancellations 45 days or less prior to arrival and no-shows. In unexpected, unfortunate circumstances (family death etc) Scout will work to negotiate with the supplier for a full or partial refund, however this is not guaranteed. We recommend taking travel insurance to make sure you are covered. Cancelling due to weather, missed travel connections or lack of snow is not considered an unexpected circumstance and is one of the risks you must wear as part of taking a ski trip. Unless the supplier has a snow guarantee or weather cancellation policy, Scout will not refund any part of the package due to these factors.
- Variations: Please note that some hotels may have stricter policies (such as no refund within 60 days) and we are required to pass on these policies. We will communicate any varations to the above cancellation policy prior to confirmation of booking.
- Changes Policy:
- Once bookings are confirmed and deposit is paid service fees will apply for every amendment to existing elements, late final payment and travel document re-issue in addition to fees charged by suppliers
- In a few instances we purchase products through third party providers. If you change part of your package whilst at a destination, the 3rd party provider may have a different refund policy to that of the supplier in the destination. Wherever possible we will work to recover any refunds that come from a change at the destination, however it is not guaranteed.
- Surcharges: Scout does not charge any additional fees for the booking. Prices quoted are for cash (bank transfer) payments only. Credit card payments (Amex, Visa or Mastercard only) will be subject to 1.8% surcharge.
- Booking Currency: Scout will quote and charge in one currency of your choice from AUD, USD, CAD, JPY, EUR or GBP only.
- Currency Exchange Policy: If you book an international destination all remaining balances are subject to change (based on currency fluctuations) until the final payment has been processed. This can go either way (if your currency gets stronger you will be invoiced less!). We will confirm at the time of invoice what the final amount is, based on the exchange rate at that time. Should you wish to pay the balance earlier (prior to when it’s actually due) to secure that current exchange rate you are welcome to request the final invoice at any time. Once payments have been made (deposit or final balance), no refunds will be given for changes in the amount of what that payment would be, based on currency changes at any time prior to your trip.
- Travel Insurance: Once your booking is confirmed, we strongly recommend taking out travel insurance as it will often cover the cost of cancelled reservations.
