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.
