Child care facility "Daniel House"
Located in Highland Lodge 3F (up the stairs from the 2F) at Rusutu Resort Hotel and Convention. If you are staying at The Westin, take the monorail and get off at Highland lodge station.
When we stayed in Feb, there were around 4 kids everyday and about 3 caretakers. My kids enjoyed it very much. My younger baby is shy but surprised to see that she went inside happily without cry on the 3rd day.

| Day care at Rusutsu Resort |
Located at Rusutu Resort Hotel and Convention. We went there in the afternoon and there were only two families. Therefore there were no cue for the magic carpet. My 3 years old son loved the snow strider! The hill is divided into 4 - Ski/Snow board, Snow strider, Toboggan and Snow Tubing so safer for the little kids.
My 2 years old didn't enjoy the toboggan or the tubing so we decided to go inside and ride carousel! The entrance fee for the snow park is 1,200yen for 3years old+ which means adult also need to pay. I though it was little bit expensive as my 3 years old won't stay there for more than 1h. However this is the only place where we have access to the magic carpet so that we don't need to carry our son and his snow board/snow strider up the hill for 20 times... my son really enjoyed snow strider there!

Restaurants
Both hotels have good varieties of restaurants but more restaurants available at Rusutsu Resort side. For lunch we ate at "Horn"everyday as it is very close to the kids day care. Japanese noodles, curry, chips were my kids favorite! For dinner, October Fest buffet (at North Wing) was very popular, kids friendly as well. However we liked Costa Terrazza (Italian) and Belle Vue (Farm Restaurant) more. Both restaurants were kids friendly too. Belle Vue had a live music which my kids enjoyed a lot. They played lots of Japanese cartoon songs for us.
For breakfast we ate at Atrium (at The Westin) but if it's busy, there is another restaurant which serves the same dishes just next to the locker room.
We bought a package which includes breakfast and dinner. We were worried we have to eat same buffet dinner everyday but we were able to visit different restaurant everyday and enjoyed different kinds of food!

We stayed at duplex room (maybe all rooms are duplex!?) The top floor has a bed room and the bottom floor has 2 foldable beds, living area, small kitchen and bathroom. I was bit worried about the stairs but my little one managed well. If you don't need some of the cleaning service, the hotel will give you about 2,000 yen worth of vouchers everyday. We used the vouchers for snowmobile ride! Kids enjoyed a lot and we were being Eco-friendly. Win-win! I was very impressed with this service.
