The Vale Rusutsu

One of the best hotel apartment style accommodation with ski in and out access. Easy access to get to all mountains and short walk to 7/11 and restaurants.

location, decoration and cleanliness.

nothing

Location, room size, freedom and peace in the room, ability to do washing and cook. Basically home away from home.

Not a negative, but a recommendation that in the future for people checking out, that if they are skiing on the checkout day, they be allowed to use a locker and changinf rooms. This was an issue since the bus was around 5pm and we skiied until around 3pm. And obviously need to change clothes etc. So please consider this - even if a cost is involved, guests including myself would happily pay for the convenience. Since we are planning on returning in January 2026, it would be greatly appreciated🤞

It is a Ski in Ski Hotel, just the way to the chair lift is not suitable for very beginners. Skiing back is halfway from the slopes directing to the hotel locker rooms. But good enough. If not there is on demand shuttle to bring/pick you to the ski area - 2mins ride but maybe a 5 -10 mins wait. This is more like a service apartment than hotel. The room is spacious, full equipment kitchen. Convenience stores are nearby to get some instant food if you want to cook. Washer and Dryer in the room that makes the entire stay really awesome. Staffs are friendly and prompt as well.

Breakfast here is limited. The only cafe downstairs has limited and little food options. Limited means not a wide variety of sandwiches. By 8am, most of the sandwiches have ran out and no top ups. And you can only choose 1 x sandwich and some cookies. The entire cafe has 1 x self help coffee machine. The buffet breakfast restaurant is located at the ski area. If u are unable to ski to the ski area, you can opt to walk to the ski area. Takes 10-15 mins depending on the equipment's you bring along. And no bathtub. :(

Good location and ski room facility worked well. Rooms clean and comfortable with adequate space. Access to great onsen. Staff friendly and helpful

Breakfast was limited in choice as some of the options had already closed for the season. Was essentially only 2 choices. Both ok but was expecting more choice

Well located, ski in, ski out

room layout & its comfort

long long way to breakfast location
