5.0/5
2 reviews

Hokkaido's premier all-season resort, where the fun of skiing is maxed out! It boasts three peaks, four cable cars, and 14 ropeways, with a total of 37 trails planned—from wide, gentle slopes that everyone can ski with confidence to professional-grade steeps that will thrill advanced skiers. At this resort with thoughtful and attentive service, you can fully enjoy an exhilarating, professional-grade winter sports experience. Peak Rusutsu has three peaks in total: West Mountain, East Mountain, and Mount Isola. Each mountain has its own unique terrain, which further diversifies the types of activities you can experience. Rusutsu's snow Rusutsu enjoys an excellent location, sheltered from the harsh northwest monsoon while receiving plenty of dry powder snow carried in on the wind. In addition, because it is close to the Pacific Ocean, the proportion of clear days in winter is very high. The powder-snow sunny days known as "THE DAY" are not uncommon here. Under the clear skies brought by the Pacific climate, you can experience exceptionally light snow quality!! Globally curated ski resorts Rusutsu Resort is a ski resort that won an award at the 2021 World Ski Awards for the fourth time, receiving this honor twice in two years.

4.3/5
133 reviews

Showa Shinzan is an active volcano that was formed by an eruption in the early Showa period, which is also the origin of its name. Originally about 270 meters in elevation, it has gradually risen due to crustal activity and now reaches 398 meters. Known as a "new mountain" that continues to grow, it is one of the rare lava dome-type volcanoes in the world. White steam still rises from its reddish-brown slopes, allowing visitors to feel the earth's energy. At the bear farm located at the foot of Mount Showa Shinzan, approximately 100 purebred Hokkaido brown bears are raised. On the vast premises, the bears live in areas divided by age group. At each entrance of the park, there are feeding stations where you can purchase apples and snacks to enjoy the experience of feeding the bears. The brown bears, accustomed to humans, display adorable gestures as they seek food. For example, they entertain visitors by standing on their hind legs and waving their front paws, bowing, or lying down to perform humorous movements. Special Observation Experience For those who want to observe brown bears up close, you can use the special observation room called the "Human Cage" located within the park. This thrilling experience allows you to face the bears through small windows and feel their powerful presence and breath at close range. Showa Shinzan is a fascinating tourist attraction that combines a rare, still-growing volcano with a bear ranch where visitors can interact with brown bears. This popular destination allows you to simultaneously experience the raw power of nature and close encounters with wildlife.

A Record of My Romantic Winter Trip in January 2020~ The first day I arrived at Lake Toya was a very overcast day; the entire lake was shrouded in a gray haze, and Mount Yotei was completely invisible, but I still happily took photos for a long time, haha. The second day, the sky cleared, and the scenery of Lake Toya instantly improved several levels. The clear sky, dotted with a few small white clouds, made the lake surface appear a beautiful blue, and many, many ducklings were playing and frolicking on the lake. The distant mountain ranges and the snow-capped Mount Yotei were clearly visible—such a beautiful scene, peaceful and serene. Just sitting by the lake, gazing into the distance, and all my worries would disappear.

During the Spring Festival holiday, I chose Hokkaido because it is said that the snow in Hokkaido is powder snow, which is most suitable for skiing enthusiasts. Even if you fall, it won’t hurt that much. There are many ski resorts in Hokkaido. Considering my schedule and other conditions, I chose Rusutsu. Practice has proved that our choice is right. The snow here is very thick and good, and there are ski slopes suitable for different levels. This trip is very fun. I will go here again if I have the chance.

Mt. Yotei, according to the introduction, is located on the shore of Lake Toya in Hokkaido, 1,898 meters above sea level, and is a conical active volcano. At first glance, it looks very similar to Mt. Fuji. I took several photos of Mt. Yotei, with the blue sky as the background, clouds floating on Mt. Yotei, and unmelted ice and snow on the top of the mountain, which is quite beautiful.

When the price was 400, I was hesitant, but when it was almost 600, I made a strong move 😅😅. It's okay. Overall, I wasted almost an hour renting the ski equipment, and the round trip bus ride took almost seven hours (butt hurts), leaving only three hours to play (crazy). Niseko is really far, much farther than Mrs. Luo, but it's worth it to go and see the world.

Close to the Yotei Mountain Scenic Area, with super beautiful natural scenery, this is a small, semi-public park. Most of the babies come from the wild and can interact closely and feed them biscuits. It is very suitable for family outings.

This time, everyone chose to come to Japan to ski, so they chose to come to Annupuri International Ski Resort. The ski resort is super large and the snow here is really clean. It gives me a feeling of incomparable purity and whiteness, just like a fairy tale world.

Fukidashi Park is one of my favourite spot to see autumn leaf amongst locals and visitors alike. Not only that, this place is also home to spring water that has been on the ‘Japan’s 100 Best Spring Water’ list since 1985. Damn Cool!!!! However i have not finished exploring this beautiful place cuz so many good photogenic spots. So dont let autumn go without visiting this place.
