Last season, snow resorts all over the country raised the prices of lift tickets. One-day tickets at Rusutsu in Hokkaido were among them, rising significantly from 1 yen in the previous season to 8,800 yen. This is not simply a response to rising prices and labor shortages, but is reportedly a strategic price review aimed at further increasing satisfaction, such as improving the quality of the special "experience" that can be had at Rusutsu Resort and further improving safety. Last season, Rusutsu attracted a lot of attention with the opening of a new wellness room (the article was ).
It has been decided that the lift fees at Rusutsu will be increased significantly again this season (for details, see ). A one-day ticket will be priced at 1 yen, up 11,500 yen from last season's 14,500 yen.
*The online purchase price for a one-day pass is 1 yen.

What is the "25-hour + 5" advance lift ticket?
A "ticket containing 25 5-hour tickets" with a 1-hour bonus on top of the 30-hour ticket. The first time you pass through a gate, 1 hour is subtracted from your IC lift ticket, leaving you with 29 hours remaining. From the time that the time was subtracted, you can pass through the gate as many times as you like for 1 hour. In the same way, 1 hour is subtracted every time, until you have a total of 30 hours available.
You can get even more value depending on how you use it!
Point 1. If you use it for 1 hours a day, you can enjoy it 5 times, and if you use it for 6 hours a day, you can enjoy it 1 times.
Point 2. After passing through the IC gate, you can add gates as many times as you like within the hour, but the time will not be deducted until you pass through the next gate, so you can use your time effectively by taking a leisurely lunch break between runs.
