About Rusutsu
Rusutsu Resort spreads across West Mountain, East Mountain and Mount Isola in south-west Hokkaido, about 90 minutes from New Chitose Airport. Its runs are cut through birch and fir, and the snow is usually light and dry, though storms from the west can bring days of cloud. These Rusutsu webcams show Mount Yotei across the valley and the latest snowfall.
Which Rusutsu webcam to check first
Start with the 24-hour snowfall camera for new snow. The Mount Yotei view shows whether the volcano is clear or in cloud, which is a quick guide to visibility on the upper slopes.
Before you go to Rusutsu
Check Rusutsu's mountain conditions page and the Japan Meteorological Agency forecast before you go. The cameras update as still images and some are switched off outside the winter season.
Webcams and modelled weather can be delayed, incomplete or offline. A camera can't tell you whether a lift, piste, road or off-piste route is open or safe.
