Rusutsu
Town / Base Village

About 90 minutes by car from Sapporo and New Chitose Airport, Hokkaido’s largest all-season resort is packed with fun-filled activities out on the snow!

With 4 gondolas and 14 lifts servicing the 3 peaks, the skifield is home to 37 runs that range from gentle, wide slopes where everyone can safely ski and snowboard right up and challenging runs that satisfy advanced skiers. Rusutsu Resort combines dynamic, full-fledged winter sports with outstanding hospitality.

The Rusutsu Vibe

Thanks to its perfect location in the southeast of Mt. Yotei, Rusutsu Resort is protected from harsh winter winds blowing in from the northwest that dump loads of powder snow on its skifields. And since it’s close to the Pacific coast, the resort is blessed with plenty of sunny days in winter. Come visit us to experience what they call “THE DAY” – those special times when you get both glorious powder snow and clear, sunny skies!
