Better than a hostel, much better than a cheap motel. Grand Cabin is a great place to stay for the budget conscious when playing on the mountain at Rusutsu. A modern fit-for-purpose building, with a huge drying room in the basement. Much more affordable than other on mountain accommodation, and the fantastic young crew of staff work hard to make sure you are comfortable and drive you the 8km each day to drop you off at the resort, and are always on time to pick you up at the requested time each afternoon or evening (highly recommend the night skiing too!). The common area is well stocked with Tea, Coffee, Sugar, Creamer and Hot Water plus a microwave for meals picked up from the nearby convenience stores (we found it worth the short walk to 7-eleven which had more variety than the closer Lawson Station). The bathroom area is well set up and very private, with extra security for the ladies, and complimentary toothbrush/paste, hair brush, razor and vanity packs. Our room was very quiet and comfortable, we will be back!
