    A resort in Rusutsu Village. Rusutsu Resort boasts an array of facilities and offers a variety of activities for visitors to enjoy year-round, including an amusement park and golf course in summer and a ski area in winter. The resort was used for the international media center during the G8 Toyako Hokkaido Summit in 2008. The resort's amusement park was ranked as one of the best in Japan in a 2015 theme park list. Rusutsu Resort has also been introduced as one of the best resorts in the world in international travel magazines.

    Rusutsu Resort Hotel was not what I expected, and was unlike any ski hotel I’d ever seen in Europe or North America. It was more of a village than a hotel, with a lot of rooms, but also several...

    Hokkaido Abutagunrusutsumura Izumikawa 13
    An amusement park operating inside Rusutsu Resort. One of the largest amusement parks in Hokkaido, the park has some 60 attractions. This includes eight popular and exciting roller coasters. There are also less stimulating rides for children and those who don't like thrill rides. The park has much more to offer on top of this, including go-carts, a merry-go-round, a mini zoo, garden, and game arcade. There are indoor and outdoor pools, too. The park is closed due to snow in winter, and during this time extra maintenance is conducted on the rides and attractions.

    Took a day trip from Hirafu to ski Rusutsu. Need to book at Welcome center, ¥8600 include bus fare and 1 day ski pass. Good value, considering an All Mountain Pass at Hirafu is about the same. There...

    Hokkaido Abutaguntouyakochou Touyakonsen
    A total of 58 sculptures have been arranged in the parks and along the footpaths that run along the shore of Lake Toya (which has a circumference of approximately 43 kilometers). The installation of the sculptures was arranged by the local authorities of Toyako Town and Sobetsu Town, with the aim of creating “an outdoor sculpture park that would bring people and nature together.” Set amidst natural greenery and with the lake as a backdrop, the sculptures seem to take on different moods and “expressions” depending on the weather and the time of year, displaying a unique outdoor beauty.

    5/4に訪問しました。温泉街の湖岸に沿って彫刻がところどころ点在しています。前衛的なものからさまざまですが、ちょうど桜が満開を迎えていて、桜と彫刻がマッチした景色となっていました。温泉街は端から端まで1km以上(2km近く?)あるので、見て回るのは自分の泊まるホテル周辺や、観光船乗り場あたりだけでも良いかと思います。

Not just a prefecture but an island of its own, Hokkaido is the most northerly prefecture and island of the Japanese archipelago. Arriving in Hokkaido, which is rural and bursting with breathtaking nature, means entering a world where vast national parks, towering mountains, and natural hot springs can be found at every turn. Come December, these natural splendors freeze over and morph into a winter wonderland.
