The Westin Rusutsu Resort - Rusutsu

RUSUTSU
Hokkaido

The Mountain
Rusutsu is located in Hokkaido prefecture which is the north island of Japan and offers great off-piste and tree skiing and snowboarding. It is a great resort for powder skiers and snowboarders but also perfect for families. The hotels are ski in ski out and there are English ski and snowboard school and fun snow activities.

The Location
The best & easiest way would be to fly into Sapporo (New Chitose Airport) and catch the ski bus which takes only 2 hours. The hotels run the Big Runs airport transfer bus and also free shuttle to Sapporo city, which we can arrange for you. There is also some other ski bus company.  We can help arrange and book all transfers.

We had an amazing two weeks at the Westin Rusutsu, thank you for arranging accommodation and transfers – all went very well.  It was wonderful to be back skiing in Japan 😊

The Westin Rusutsu is our accommodation of choice.  We just love it.  For us, the place has a warm and friendly ambience, the breakfasts are always a standout, plus the staff and service are all super courteous and helpful.  The Westin also has a good variety of quality restaurants.   

I’ve attached a photo of me in skiing the powder amongst the trees.

We’re missing Japan already!!

Best wishes

We are both thankful that we had 3 beautiful weeks on Hokkaido, skied 3 resorts for 12 days of skiing and could catch up with our son and his girlfriend at Niseko for a week, albeit avoiding the Corona Virus over that time.

• Quality hotel
• Spotlessly clean
• First rate staff who were lovely and friendly. They sorted out my wifes mobile phone issue when we arrived, after we had no luck. No question to them was an issue.
• Beautiful clean room and sizeable
• Exceptional breakfast as part of the package
• Great ski locker set up
• Easy access to the 2 seater access chair
• Great ski mountain

• Hotel food was expensive - Y6,300 PP for the nightly buffet worked out to be AUD $180 for 2 before any beverage
• All the hotel food options were expensive at the Westin. Even the japanese we talked to made the same comment. 
• At the other resort side were cheaper options but nothing inbetween in terms of quality for an acceptable price e.g. burgers and fries or pizza at the low end, then back to the high end options
• We did not dine out at the smaller local eating houses as most nights it was snowing. Our choice overall.I would have like to but we just ran out of time.
• I had to sleep on the murphy fold out bed for the week because the plush bedding was the pillow top variety and my back cannot cope with such soft unsupported mattresses. Thankfully our room upgrade had the murphy fold out bedding, otherwise I would have slept on the floor to cope. This of course is a personal view, as most people probably love these beds and have no issue with them.

We fully enjoyed our stay at The Westn Rusutsu Resort. The advantage of being able to use facilities of both the resort and the tower make it a fine one stop destination. After we left Rusutsu we continued travelling around Hokkaido for another couple of weeks, skiing at various other locations.. Thank you for being prompt in dealing with our booking. I attach a video my son made of the trip which features not only Rusutsu but also other locations in Hokkaido.
