This expansive, all-season resort-one of the largest in Hokkaido-features ski areas, golf courses, an amusement park, hotels, and more across its vast grounds.

The ski area, famed for its pure, dry powder snow, spans three peaks within the resort, each offering distinct terrain. With 37 courses ranging from wide, gentle slopes ideal for beginners to steep, aggressive runs perfect for advanced skiers, the resort provides a full-scale winter sports experience.
In summer, the resort transforms as the amusement park opens with roller coasters and other attractions, the 72-hole golf course comes alive, and the “Rusutsu Mountain Is Your Friend” campground welcomes outdoor enthusiasts. Guests can enjoy a wide variety of seasonal activities such as horseback riding, hot-air ballooning, and rafting-experiences unique to Hokkaido’s great outdoors.
The resort also features two hot-spring facilities where you can soak while admiring the scenery of each season, as well as three different hotels, each with its own style.

With a massive 50m × 13m projection mapping show displayed on the hotel’s glass exterior, a two-story indoor carousel, numerous restaurants, izakaya pubs, bars, and more, Rusutsu offers countless ways to enjoy your stay all day long. No matter the season, you can experience an exceptional resort getaway.
