Eating

Eating options on the slopes are limited to a café at the resort's base. The prices are standard for Hokkaido, as is the menu. There is also a great BBQ-style restaurant located adjacent to the base area, known as "Gams". They have tasty homemade sausages and offer an all-you-can-eat Lamb deal for ¥1,000. It's a quirky little place known for its electric train that brings your food and drinks - good for a few laughs.
