Highly recommended! The facilities are excellent and the attractions are very interesting. The price is very reasonable for enjoying the views using the Gondola and the Barouche carriage. Lockers are also available for storing belongings, but unfortunately, this is not included in the package, so an additional fee is required.

Definitely buy! Great value for money! Cheaper than buying directly from the Iwahara Ski Resort official website. Location: Process: 1. Take the Iwahara Ski Resort shuttle bus at "Hotel Green Plaza Naeba Joetsu Information Center" (you can Google the timetable) and get off at "Iwahara Ski Resort Resort Center 1." 2. Walk 2 minutes to the ski rental shop "Rental Ski Shop Bear" and show your proof to get your equipment. 3. Walk back to "Iwahara Ski Resort Resort Center 1" and show your proof to exchange for your day ski pass. Enjoy!

I'll buy it again! The ticket machine at the base of the mountain already allows redemption, and Ishiuchi Maruyama Ski Resort is huge! The slopes are wide, and I had a great time skiing! It's perfect for practicing! I love the gondola the most.

We had an incredible time at Gala Yuzawa Resort. It was our first time experiencing snow, and we rented our ski and snowboarding outfits and equipment there. It was such a fun and memorable experience, and we highly recommend adding this to your Japan trip. Our only regret was staying for just one day because it’s definitely something you’ll want to enjoy for longer. The staff were very organized, and everything was well managed, which made the whole experience smooth and hassle-free.

Regardless of its distance from the station, the room's comfort and the hotel staff's service attitude were all above standard!

Very convenient, very close to Echigo-Yuzawa Station. The snow wear and equipment are new and clean, and the price is reasonable. There are English-speaking staff in the store for easy communication. There is also a dedicated car to take us to Ishiuchi Maruyama, and you can also book a return trip to the store. The staff are punctual and polite. Will come again next year.

We arrived 1.5 hours earlier to rent and put on the snow wear. The staff from rental shop would prepare the equipment for you. The quality is good. The instructions were not very clear but there would be a staff from the YUZAWA INTERNATIONAL PRO SNOW SCHOOL to pick you up eventually from the shop so waiting inside the shop is fine. The staff drove us to the Iwappara Ski Resort and met the coach. He introduced the coach from Taiwan to us. The staff and the coach are nice and friendly. We did some warm up and learned how to use the snowboard and the basic skills. We enjoyed the lesson and it was a good experience for beginners.
