Rusutsu Lodges Pension Lilla Huset

Rusutsu

Great lodge! Friendly and helpful staff. Rooms are nice and cozy & storage area is available upon request! Special thanks to Kaori san, Kaito San, Jessica and Remy for your welcoming. Food at red house is tasty. Must try their shabu shabu, burgers and wagyu steak.
Hi Remy, hope you get your phone back! Good luck

Great stay

Love this place. A small lodging with friendly staff. Prime location, between Rusutsu Resort and Westin Hotel. 

We got the bus from Sapporo New Chitose (must book bus online). The bus stopped at the Rusutsu Resort carpark and it’s a 2 minutes walk to Rusutsu Lodges (you can asked them to pick you up, dragging suitcases across when it’s snowing is no fun). 

We stayed in East Wing, with traditional Japanese bedroom and small kitchen and private bathroom/toilet - enough for a family of 3. 

Breakfast wasn’t included in our booking, but no need to worry, Seicomart and 7/11 convenient stores were very close to Rusutsu Lodges. We bought plenty of ready made food from there and heat them up in our little kitchen. 

We had lunch at the cafe in Rusutsu Lodges, nice food and the staff all very friendly (in the main building, opposite the reception area)

We opted for this lodge because it’s small, more personal with friendly owner and staff. A self contained accommodation in a prime location. 

Around the lodge:
There’s a rental shop near Seicomart, you got 10% off if you stayed at Rusutsu Lodges. 
We rented gloves, goggles, a sledge and ski suit for snow activities: Dog sledging held at Westin and Snowboard school at Rusutsu Resort. 

We bought cream puffs at Rusutsu Resort, delicious! Must try the new onsen Kotobuki No-Yu at the Vale Rusutsu (Rusutsu Resort - North wing, 6th floor) - amazing!!! (Pay at the reception). 

Walk 5 minutes and you’ll find Wakasaimo confectionary shop, you’ll wanna buy everything from there. The East Village restaurant (in the same building) looked inviting but was shut when we went. 



Perfection

We stayed for 5 nights and had a terrific stay. A big thank you to Kaori and the team for looking after us so well.

Location
Excellent. Several minutes walk to the Rusutsu Resort where the lifts and Gondola commence from, very easy walk, but we walked over in our regular shoes then changed into ski boots as there was ample storage. Two convenience stores right next door, plus a couple of bars/restaurants also next door. We also used the resort public bath several times, which was great for a post ski soak.

Food
Also excellent, breakfast was included each morning and chef Guilio went out of his way to accomodate the vegetarians in our group. We dined in the in house restaurant one evening and were treated to the most divine Shabu Shabu meal. Highly recommend! Guilio’s culinary delights were a most welcomed ‘hidden gem’ surprise.

Room
We had a relatively spacious triple room facing the mountain, when it wasnt bucketing with snow the view was great. Only suggestion is the room needs more hooks & hangers & somewhere  to store large luggage.  The rooms and bathroom facilities were immaculately clean. Beds were firm, in the Japanese way but were comfortable.

Terrific stay, clean, cosy & great location plus hidden gem

Loved this place. The location is really good in that you can easily walk to the tower pair chair or gondola to start your day. On a pow day though the Gondola was up and going first. The room we had was big enough and was basic pension western style. Beds were hard but hey this is Japan and they are all hard. The breakfasts were great, diverse and large. This is a really good option if you can't afford to stay in the resort or prefer a more authentic experience.

Good quality pension accom.

We stayed in this mini-hotel for 13 days. The boarding house is located in the very center of Ruzutsu. We came to ride mountain skiing and eat Japanese food. We brought equipment with us. But next to the boarding house (5 minutes on foot) there is a rental of all winter gear (for example, a day for ski boots 3000uens). Across the road is a large hotel on the first floor which also has a rental and a large number of shops. In the boarding house you can use a microwave oven to warm (prepare) food. We do not always prepare this meal. We had breakfast and dinner.

Traditional Japanese boarding house

Simiko, Katsuyuki and their daughter Yumi were amazingly hospitable. They run a very good business keeping the place very tidy and preparing the perfect big breakfast for a big day on the slopes. The rooms are basic and include everything you need. The beds are firm (like everywhere in Japan);the pillows are also firm and grainy. I grabbed a spare blanket and used it for extra cushioning. 

We had a room that had two beds in it and a second room which was a traditional Japanese style tea room with tatami mat floors. 

The seven eleven actually does really good meals as does the convenient store next door. There are a few restaurants but Im told you should book in advance for those. 

Love it and will be back.

True Japanese Hospitality

My partner and I very much enjoyed our stay at Lilla Huset last month. The owners are a lovely family and, although they do not speak much english, communicating was not an issue. The pension is run bed and breakfast style and the rooms are serviced daily (fresh water, clean cups, emptied garbage etc.). The location is excellent. Not too far from the gondola and restaurants but still nice to be out of the large resort complex/tower hotel area. You can rent ski gear at the adjacent 'Amuse Rental' shop at a discount (we were not told this at the Pension but the rental shop gave this to us after we wrote Lilla Huset as our address). Breakfast is hearty and interesting, rooms are clean and washrooms have nice touches like razors and toothbrushes should you have forgotten yours. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

Quite the find :)

This is my second stay at Lilla Huset. The traditional rooms in the main building are comfortable, as is the western room I am in at present in the building adjacent. Clean, warm, comfortable, great breakfast, helpful hosts. It is an easy walk to the little local restaurant strip, the resort hotel, and the East Gondola is across the road, 5 minutes walk, for access to the main runs on East and Mt Isola. Rusutusu is a great resort and this is a wonderful informal place to stay for those who do not want a grand hotel experience.
