Hoshino Resort Tomamu in December 2025. Founded in July 2025, AlterSky specializes in operational services and planning for logistics drones and drone shows. Based in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, AlterSky aims to redefine nighttime entertainment with its innovative aerial displays.
A New Chapter for Drone Entertainment

Hiroyuki Murai expressed excitement about introducing a dynamic and eye-catching spectacle to enhance the charm of Tomamu Resort.
Exciting Features of the Drone Show
The drone show at Hoshino Resort Tomamu will feature seasonal themes, ensuring that visitors have a unique experience every time they visit. The inaugural performance is scheduled to take place from
December 6 to 25, 2025, with two showings each night at
7:00 PM and 9:30 PM. Set against the backdrop of Tomamu's stunning night sky, the Christmas-themed show will include an array of designs that symbolize the festive season, such as Santa Claus and other holiday motifs, depicted with the vibrant lights of 500 drones.
Tomamu, known for its breathtaking natural beauty, will act as a perfect canvas for the show. The performance will feature landmarks like the
Tomamu The Tower, and local elements to reflect the unique culture of Hokkaido. AlterSky plans to change the theme of the show with the seasons, further attracting guests to experience the magic of the drone displays throughout the year.
Elevating the Guest Experience
Iwao Watanabe, the general manager of Hoshino Resort Tomamu, shared insights on how the drone show aligns with their mission to create an all-day enjoyment experience at the resort. He noted, _“Enhancing nighttime experiences is essential for guest satisfaction, and our new drone show can significantly contribute to this.”_ Leveraging the pristine environment of Tomamu, guests can look forward to awe-inspiring moments under the clear night sky, further enriching their stay.
The Future of Drone Entertainment
With a track record of over 1,000 flights used for various applications, including disaster response and power supply management, AlterSky is poised to revolutionize the drone show industry. By utilizing its expertise in drone operations, the company ensures safety and creativity in every presentation. The Christmas show will serve as the first of many themed performances that AlterSky hopes will become a cherished part of the resort experience.
