Pensionat i Rusutsu

My stay at this hotel was delightful. The staff were exceptionally friendly and went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. Although not situated near the ski resort, their convenient pick-up service made transportation hassle-free. The room, while not overly spacious, was well-equipped with everything needed for a cozy stay. The complimentary breakfast was a highlight, offering a satisfying start to the day. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would recommend this hotel to others seeking a welcoming atmosphere and convenient amenities.

Clean. Tastefully decorated - lots of lovely art. Very spacious for two. Much easier to find than others implied - Google maps was perfectly accurate. Not too far from Rusutsu for skiing or Lake toya. The lake view was decent as well, though we weren’t lucky enough to see the lake’s full glory due to the weather. The guest room is on the second floor; breakfast is served in the dining area on the first floor. There’s also a small elevator for moving luggage upstairs. Overall, hardware-wise it is hard to fault this place, especially at this price. What made us love this place more was the host lady. I think she embodies a lot of the things we enjoy in staying at a ryokan-type place - humble, loving, well-educated, and on top of all that, very knowledgeable about Japanese music and art. However, on lots of dimensions, she’s a standout and a personality we wish we had more time to connect with. We felt very fortunate to have booked this place. We would definitely come back next time we’re in the area.

Hosts are a super friendly couple who are on-site and happy to help or offer recommendations. Check-in was super easy (door code into room) and hosts are super communicative and very responsive. Room is large, clean, comfortable, quiet, and cozy. WiFi works great. Shower gets hot with great water pressure. Room also has microwave and TV with netflix. Parking is available in the driveway. Location is 10 min away to Rusutsu and 30-40min to Niseko for skiing, super convenient. Thank you Winnie for being so welcoming!
