Considering Rusutsu this ski season?Keep up to date with the latest weather and snow forecasts.
Rusutsu is a purposely built ski resort and serviced by a Hotel Complex. It is good for families particularly with its ski-in/ski-out accommodation options and is suitable to most skiing abilities, especially those chasing powder. It is very accommodating for English speak guests, with most staff able to communicate in English and signage in English. Rusutsu also has the advantage of being able to offer heliskiing (seasonal), which is not common in Japan.
Rusutsu does not offer an abundance of nightlife and only has the Hotel facilities, no ski village. There are three large hotels, each offering a selection of restaurants and facilities with easy access to the ski resort. There are a couple of smaller traditional Japanese restaurants (Izakaya) near the Hotel.
