About Rusutsu
Rusutsu is Hokkaido's best-kept secret — a self-contained resort village spread across three mountains (East, West, and Mount Isola) with tree-skiing that ranks among the finest in Japan. Positioned south of Niseko and receiving the same phenomenal Siberian powder dumps, Rusutsu is far less crowded, meaning the legendary tree runs stay untracked for longer after each storm. The resort is family-friendly, with a dedicated children's park and an indoor entertainment complex that makes it an ideal choice when powder days give way to flat light.
