Rusutsu, a popular ski resort in Hokkaido, is close to Lake Toya and Mt. Yotei and is known as a powder snow paradise with good snow quality that can be enjoyed by beginners and veterans alike. It is about a 90-minute drive from Sapporo. In addition to the hotel, there is also a glamping facility near the ski resort, with only three rooms, making it ideal for families and couples who want to enjoy a ski resort surrounded by nature. The "Rusutsu Glamping Snow Pod" is a dome tent with a diameter of 3m, designed for comfort and allowing you to enjoy the white world outside through the transparent windows. It is fully air-conditioned and heated, making it comfortable even in winter, and there is a toilet and bathroom inside the tent. Hokkaido has long been a treasure trove of ingredients, and the deluxe Italian set meal using ingredients from Hokkaido is available by reservation, and there is also a delicious breakfast set meal, especially the homemade bread, which is popular. In addition, the hot spring facility "Kotobuki no Yu", which is a 7-minute drive from the glamping facility, can be enjoyed at once, making it a recommended experience for those who want to have a special experience.
Echigo Yuzawa and Minami Onuma in Niigata Prefecture have many large ski resorts such as Joetsu Kokusai Ski Resort, Naeba Ski Resort, and Yuzawa Nakazato Snow Resort, and the main feature is that you can get there by Shinkansen from Tokyo. When considering a place to stay, why not consider a glamping experience? This glamping facility, GLAMPING HILLS AKAGI, is geographically located in Gunma Prefecture, but is only an hour's drive from the Minami Onuma, Yuzawa, and Maiko areas, and has 1 dome- and container-type resort facilities. It is also perfect for winter visits, with outdoor dining spaces where you don't have to worry about the rain, saunas, and air conditioning.

Also located in the Niigata ski resort area, about an hour's drive away, is this rather unique glamping facility located within an orchard. It is the first glamping facility in Japan located within an orchard. The large temperature difference between Tanigawadake and Minakami Town makes it particularly suitable for growing ripe apples, and meals feature the ranch's proud Soshu beef, homemade sausages, and homemade apple sauce. For breakfast, you can choose between Western or Japanese cuisine, and apple jam is also provided.
After skiing, why not consider a simple and warm accommodation style? There are only two rooms, so we recommend making reservations early, especially in winter.
