Rusutsu Pension Clydesdale

Great value compared to staying at the resort hotels. Manako always arrived within five minutes whenever we needed a ride. Our hosts, Murii and Yoke were so gracious and generous. The three dinners we had there were excellent. We went to restaurants at the village the other three nights. We enjoyed the smaller restaurants as opposed to the ones at the hotel for their authenticity and value. The food at all the restaurants was excellent.

Note that the bathrooms are shared. There are several of them so availability was never a problem.

Excellent breakfasts. Italian style evening dinners also excellent. Don't be late for breakfast or dinner as meals served precisely on time or even a little early. Suggest being ready to eat at least 5 mins before time! Location was very good, considering that the centre of the ski resort is dominated by two large hotel complexes that squeeze out space for small "pension" hotels like this. Excellent at-call mini bus shuttle service for going to the ski resort or to eat out, and only an easy 15 mins walk home after eating out, if you don't want to call out Manako for the mini-bus when its late in the evening. Rooms and beds are comfortable, if small, but that is as usual in Japan. Nice individual onsen-style spa baths to soak out the tired body after a big day on the slopes.

We liked everything at Clydesdale ! Our hosts, Morii and Yoko were great. The ski room was a great place to leave our ski gear at the end of the day. Being driven to and from the gondola lifts in the morning and afternoon was so helpful and it only took a few minutes each way. We loved the diversity of the meals prepared for breakfast and dinner and on the few nights we ate out there was a great selection of restaurants.

That we had to come back home. ;-) Seriously, it was fantastic.

Absolutely fantastic hosts Yoko and Mori, we so enjoyed the dinners, drive service by Manako was great, location is close to resort, ski area offers perfect variety, the cabin was just right for the 4 of us... and our teenagers loved it!

Can’t come up with anything!

Helpful and friendly staff. Breakfast was varied and excellent. Shuttle to village and gondola. Dry room.

Nothing comes to mind.
