A total of 91 apartments across 10 floors will offer one, two and three bedroom apartments, as well as dual apartments linking together two one-bedroom units to create a roomier, more feature-packed 2-bedroom options.
There are plans for a grand lobby space, restaurant, and bar, as well as comprehensive ski storage facilities to create seamless access to the snow outside.
A 24-hour front desk and comprehensive concierge services will ensure all guests have looked after.

With golf courses, a theme park and summer activities galore Rusutsu is already a developed year-round destination. Rusutsu is not only less crowded in winter, at a 90-minute drive from New Chitose Airport, it’s also much easier to get in and out of.

Location
SETTING / ATMOSPHERE
The Vale Rusutsu is located near the Rusutsu Resort Hotel, with all of the hotel’s features within easy access. A refurbished dining and shopping area will connect the Vale to the Rusutsu Resort Hotel, with plenty of fun to be had off the slopes as well as on. Rusutsu itself is a short 90-minute bus ride from the airport, a much closer journey than the trip to Niseko. There is a small village a short drive from the Rusutsu resort area, that offers convenience sores and a few dining options with a more local flavour.
LIFTS / TRANSPORT
The Vale Rusutsu will be a very short stroll away from the West Mountain No. 1 Quad Lift, and the base of Rusutsu’s West Mountain lift system. You can ski right back into the building and right out of it. Regular bus services connect the Westin Rusutsu and Rusutsu Resort Hotel. A local bus service connects Rusutsu with Niseko, as do several private charter companies.
RESTAURANTS / BARS
There are a host of options both in the Westin Rusutsu and the Rsuutsu Resort Hotel, and a refurbished shopping and dining area is set to connect the Vale Rusutsu to the rest of the Rusutsu Resort Hotel area’s facilities. If you tire of these options, a short drive into Rusutsu Village gives you a few more options for food and drink in a local village atmosphere.
