Book a Shiribeshi Resort

excellent half board. Rooms a bit old fashioned. Staff very good. Onsen great

Excellent location , ski in / out with both mountain gondola and chairlift right outside hotel , ski valet made everything super easy , hotel is remote however from the main town, there are free shuttle buses that take about 25 mins to Hirafu village , there’s a few restaurants next to Hilton which are nice , Hilton also has several restaurants which are all delicious

We stayed six nights at the Westin Rusutsu on a recent skiing holiday. The Rusutsu ski resort basically offers two choices of accommodation as there is no village per se. Choose the Westin. It delivers exactly what you expect from a Westin hotel with careful thought having been given to the specific requirements of a ski holiday. The staff manage all the associated logistical issues efficiently and professionally. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed. Note they are split over two levels...

Good side trip from Sapporo. The staff did speak limited English. Great onsen and spa. The Japanese restaurant serves great quality of food, too bad there is no menu in English, so had to guess what in it. free shuttle from Sapporo station is a plus too.
