The view outside the window is of a lush green golf course, which is very pleasant. The lunch menu is à la carte. They have a monthly special, with asparagus in June and sea urchin from July. I decided to try the asparagus risotto and pasta with pork set. For an additional charge, the risotto and pasta come with soup and salad. They also offer foreigner-friendly options like fried rice and Korean dishes. The food is well seasoned and the portions are generous, making it a good value. The risotto was especially delicious. Being a Marriott Bonvoy member, I also received a discount, which was nice.

Hokkaido boasts a self-sufficiency rate of 2000% for food. You can experience this at a buffet where drinks, including non-alcoholic options, are also plentiful. However, if this buffet were in Sapporo, it might not be as talked about. It's nice to have a resort hotel with a decent level of quality.

Dinner buffet for adults was originally 6,600 yen, but with a 15% discount from the Gold Elite benefit, it became more affordable. The buffet featured a variety of dishes including Hokkaido autumn flavors such as chicken pilaf with Hokkaido mushrooms, grilled Hokkaido herb butter shiitake mushrooms, and Rusutsu pork sauté with chasseur sauce. There were also appetizers, Western dishes, shabu-shabu with Hokkaido pork, beef, and lamb, Japanese cuisine with sashimi and rice, Chinese dishes, a kids' menu, an Eat Well Menu with barley fried rice and white waterfall pepperoncino style, fruits, desserts, and a selection of beverages. The shabu-shabu was particularly delicious, and the buffet had a calm atmosphere befitting of the Westin Hotel.

I visited the Rusutsu Resort Golf 72 - Tower Course for golf play and had a meal there. It is located in the lobby on the first floor of The Westin Rusutsu Resort Hotel. The menu is extensive and diverse. I had the pork ramen. The soup and ingredients were very elegant and delicious. It felt like there were no artificial seasonings used. However, the noodles themselves were not to my liking.

When I woke up in the morning, I felt sick. It was to be expected after drinking so much, but I had a hangover. I wanted to go skiing in the morning, but it was impossible with this hangover. I decided to have the complimentary breakfast as part of the platinum benefits. It was the same buffet I visited at the end of the year, so there were no surprises. I had some freshly squeezed orange juice and a spinach and cinnamon smoothie. Since I had a hangover, I focused on drinking lots of water. I tried various dishes, but my appetite was not great. When I asked for a mixed omelette, it had carrots in it, which was unusual. Apparently, they have a special type of carrot called Rusutsu carrot, and they have dressings and smoothies made from it, so they seem to be big fans of carrots.

Breakfast can be eaten at any venue within the resort, so I decided to go to the Westin. Although it requires taking the monorail and is a bit time-consuming, I was confident that it would be better over there. Since the Atrium was crowded, I went to Bonapeti next door. The menu seemed to be basically the same. The only difference is that there is no Egg Station and Espresso Bar, but you can order them and have them brought to you. This place was less crowded, had a nice view, and you could get your Egg Station items without waiting in line, so it might actually be better. They provided gloves for the buffet-style service, with many individually packaged items. For my breakfast, I focused more on Western dishes because they looked delicious. The croissants were especially good! And the variety of fresh juices was notable. The orange juice had pulp in it and was very tasty. The smoothies were also delicious. The café latte they brought me was much better than the machine-made one. The omelets were perfectly cooked and of high quality.

After checking into the hotel, we had lunch at the restaurant. There were 10 of us but we were seated quickly. I ordered the cold tomato pasta with sea urchin. The sea urchin was fresh and incredibly delicious, and it paired well with the tomato. It was really tasty.

The desserts' cakes were all delicious with a mild sweetness.

The hotel buffet was reasonably priced and delicious.
