Fancy an “icy” outdoor bath during your next holiday?
At Alpha Resort-Tomamu’s ice village in Shimukappu town, you can stay in a hotel where dining room, bedroom and bathroom are all made out of ice.
Even dinner is served on an ice plate.
Room charges are at 80,000 yen ($900) for two per night. The hotel was open until Feb 15, 2009 but it will certainly re-open in 2010.
Temperatures in Shimukappu range between -1 to -10 degrees celsius during this period. Via Kineda. More pictures after the break.

Though I had never been to Shimukappu town but I can imagine how amazing it would be stay at Alpha Resort-Tomamu’s ice village. The tariffs too doesn’t seem high seeing he maintenance efforts and costs. Does there exist any booking network? I think as it opens only for the short period, so it would be hard to find a birth there.
