Visitor Reviews of Rusutsu Resort

Paul from AUSTRALIA writes:

Spent 3 days and stayed in resort hotel. Accommodation was 1st class but restaurants were expensive with limited choice (saved by a supermarket across the road). Lack of vertical height compared to Niseko was made up by better runs and no crowds. Lot's of powder even in first week of season. Also, lots of activities for the kids. Bus trip from Sapporo was 2 hours (1/2 hour less than to Niseko) and several staff spoke English. Highly recommended.
