The hotel was nestled within the forest, surrounded by white snow, resembling a castle amidst the snow.
Having completed the check-in process and with time to spare, the trio took the hotel's cable car up to the summit of Mount Tomamu.
Sadly, it was winter, and the legendary Cloud Sea was not visible. Due to the afternoon timing, even the clouds and fog had dissipated, but the view overlooking the resort was still beautiful.
Especially the vast spread of ghostly spruces on the mountain top, like a scene from a fairyland.
Xu Jinyan looked around and said, "Didn't we come to see the powder snow? Where is it?" He had heard that powder snow was a feature of Hokkaido, not to be found anywhere else.
Jiang Yuan pointed at the snow beneath his feet and said, "Isn't this it?"
"Isn't this just white snow? What's so powdery about it?" Young Master Xu felt his intelligence was being insulted. It was clearly white snow; why call it powder snow?
