We stayed here along with 2 other American families on the last ski weekend of the year in early April. First, the good was that the skiing was outstanding, the ski lessons for our children were excellent, no lift lines, well organized rentals, lockers, ski in/ski out, etc. The kids also loved the wave pool and the water slide and...

We spent 5 amazing days in Rusutsu in early February. The hotel is the only place to stay that is right on the mountain. It's very nice. This seems to be a Japanese family destination, so join in with the kiddies and ride the carousel just off the lobby, sing with the singing tree and boogie down Daniel Street. The... More

We brought our one year old and had a Japanese tatami room- the baby had a so much fun. The indoor amusement park keeps older kids and teens busy. Good ski rental and have selective shops / restaurant. German Octobefest is our fav buffet place- good selection. Other restaurants serves ala-carte / set menu. There is also a foodcourt for... More

Seems like a whole lot of Aussies are now coming to Japan for ski holidays and I can see why! The highlights are ski-in, ski-out from hotel to lifts, excellent skiing conditions almost all the time, very efficient resort with all services supplied (ski rental, repairs, ski shop, eateries), and Rusutsu is definitely less busy than surrounding resorts like Niseko...

The facilities in the cottage are like a home. Downstairs is equipped with living room, dining area with bar counter, separate toilet, bath & shower and basin.... More

After travelling to Alps in Europe every winter, we decided to give it a try to Japan following its amazing reputation for its powdery snow and chose Rusutsu over Niseko in order to have a more "japanese" experience... We stayed for 4 days in the North Wing side of the hotel and overall the experience was highly pleasant... We took... More

This is our very first ski experience, and we are glad it happened in Rusutsu! The resort is ideal for families with kids and a senior, as different parts/wings of the resort are connected by monorail. There are more than enough choices for food. A 7-11 store nearby provides cheaper options. The pre-packed microwavable foods are not too shabby; the... More

I haven't read all the reviews but no-one seems to have mentioned the extreme wackiness of this hotel. We knew we'd settled in when after a few days we barely noticed the talking tree, the jazz playing animatronic dogs (wish their repertoire extended to more than the same 2 songs over and over), the medieval themes expressed in occasionally hilarious...
