On August 30, Kamori Kanko, based in Sapporo, which operates Rusutsu Resort, announced new pricing for their one-day gondola and lift tickets for the regular season which runs December 16, 2023 to March 17, 2024. For adults (19 to 64 years old), the new price will be 11,500 yen, which is 30.7% higher than the previous season’s 8,800 yen. The reason for this is the increase in electricity, fuel and labor costs. A Kamori Kanko spokesperson said, “On the other hand, we will strengthen sales of low-priced advance-sale 30-hour tickets and focus on acquiring repeat customers.” Kamori Kanko raised the price of one-day tickets by about 35% last year, making this the second consecutive year of significant increases, but the price for online purchases will be kept at 9,700 yen, in an effort to ease the burden on customers and reduce crowding at their ticket offices. The price of a 30-hour advance ticket will be 30,000 yen, an increase of 9% from the previous season. The ticket can be used on any date during the season, and will be sold for a limited time from November 1 to December 8 (online purchase available). The 30-hour advance ticket is called the “25-hour ticket + 5”. It is the same price as the 25-hour ticket but you can ski for 5 hours longer. These unlimited ride tickets consume remaining time in units of one hour, and are good for those who want to take a lunch break in between skiing. A Kamori Kanko spokesperson said, “We want to make strategic price revisions that will increase the satisfaction level of repeat local visitors from Hokkaido and overseas guests staying on long-term vacations. These price increases will lead to improved services at the resort.” Kamori Kanko also plans to improve the facilities at the adjacent hotel. Details can be found on the resort's website.

A woman in her 20s who lives in Shiribeshi was defrauded of 1 million yen by a man who claimed to be from the Japanese Immigration Bureau. A foreign woman in her 20s living in Shiribeshi reported to the Kutchan Police Station on August 7, that she had been defrauded of a total of 1 million yen in cash by men claiming to be from the Japanese Immigration Bureau. The police are investigating it as a special case of fraud. According to the Kutchan Police, on August 4, a man claiming to be from the Japanese Immigration Bureau called the woman, and said, “Your phone number has been used for a crime, and an arrest warrant has been issued for you.” A man claiming to be from the Shanghai Police in China asked her to make two transfers of 500,000 yen each to a specified account so that they could check the amount of money in her possession. On that same day, the woman transferred a total of 1,000,000 yen in cash to the designated account in two separate transfers. After transferring the funds, the phone calls instructing her to deposit the money continued, and the woman became suspicious and consulted the Kutchan Police Station, which led to the discovery of the fraud. |
