At 'The Windsor Hotel Toya Vignette Collection by IHG' (Toyako Town, Abuta District, Hokkaido), which overlooks the stunning scenery of Lake Toya, Hokkaido, we have begun the application of snow-melting agents, heralding the arrival of spring, in preparation for the golf course opening on Saturday, April 25, 2026, at the 'Windsor Greatpeak of Toya,' a sky golf course located at an altitude of 625m.
### ■ Preparations for the Golf Season Begin, From a World of Silver
At golf courses in Hokkaido, the application of snow-melting agents begins in mid-March for the April opening. At Windsor Greatpeak of Toya, a snow-melting agent made of charcoal, calcium carbonate, and other materials is spread across the entire course, which is covered in about 30-40 cm of snow. The black agent absorbs sunlight, promoting natural snowmelt. In addition to melting snow, the agent also has the effect of preparing the soil environment to be suitable for turf growth.

The vivid contrast of black and white drawn on the pure white land. The scene is like art drawn on a giant canvas, announcing an early arrival of spring.
The snow slowly melts, eventually revealing the vibrant green turf. Staff are involved in creating the stage for this luxury resort hotel throughout the year, maintaining the ski slopes in winter and preparing the golf course from spring, as this place changes its appearance with the seasons.
