Rusutsu
8.7
Mid score (6-8)
Rusutsu Resort is operated by Hoshino Resorts and is one of the larger ski areas in Hokkaido by lift count, drawing international skier traffic particularly from Australia and Asia. The resort also operates a summer theme park (Rusutsu Resort Amusement Park) which broadens the visitor season. The actual village of Rusutsu has under 2,000 year-round residents, and the social life during ski season operates almost entirely within the resort complex. The Hoshino Resorts management means the hospitality is polished and multilingual. Smaller international circuit than Niseko but similar dynamics — resort workers and international guests create windows that don't exist in regular Hokkaido towns.
