Kimobetsu is a town located in Shiribeshi Subprefecture, Hokkaido it is a short 10 minutes drive down the road from the Rusutsu ski resort. It was a new and strange experience for us. We found ourselves here as I had always wanted to do some skiing in Japan. I had seen some advertising in Australia from our Perisher Resort that if you bought there season pass for not much more than a regular weeks lift pass you could get a free weeks lift tickets in a partnered resort in either Canada, the US or Japan . We had planned to ski down in Perisher any way so why not take advantage of the epic season pass and get a free week in Japan too. So with two weeks skiing on the epic pass in Australia we were off to Japan to cash in , or at least see how much we could save.
I would not really want to add up how much it cost all together for a ski trip in both the south and northern hemisphere 6 months apart but I suppose that's why I work all the long hard hours.
We had two choices in Japan for skiing on the Perisher epic pass, Hukaba on the main Island or Rusustu much further north and close to Russia. We chose Rusustu because it was supposed to have less people, better snow. The only problem with Rusustu was the accommodation at the resort was $1000Aud per night in peak season so hence why we were staying in the nearby town of Kimobestu. Where Our accommodation was way cheaper and we had a bigger room with a free shuttle to and from the ski resort each day.
Ah, it is so good to be able to see your photos and relive our experience of being in such a freezing but beautiful location! !LOL !LUV !PIZZA

Epic journey to enjoy when you are able to ski, chasing snow enjoying the smaller town all makes sense once you add up cost of travel today.
Accommodation looks compact, neat, clean more one could not ask for, shuttle to take you where you needed to go, well worthwhile working those extra hours for sheer enjoyment of ticking a box seeing something completely new.

Simply too expensive to move outside out borders currently, glad we did travel when currency was more in our favour. Planning and going always something to look forward to.
