Mountain The fun of Rusutsu lies in the fact that there are three peaks within the resort: West Mt., East Mt., and Mt. Isola. Each mountain has its own unique topography, which expands the variety of activities you can do. Powder snow at Rusutsu Rusutsu Resort is located southeast of Mt. Yotei. It is in a great location, avoiding the harsh seasonal winds from the northwest, yet still receiving an abundance of dry powder carried by the wind. Furthermore, being close to the Pacific Ocean, the rate of sunny days in winter is high. Powder and sunny days, known as "THE DAY," are not uncommon here. You can experience the lightest snow you've ever experienced under the clear skies of the Pacific Ocean climate!!

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.

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.

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.

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.
