“Departing from Tokyo, you can reach the beautiful scenery of the snow country in 1.5 hours!” There are many large and small ski resorts near Echigo-Yuzawa Station. It is also a famous hot spring resort. It takes 1 hour to take the Shinkansen from Tokyo. Most ski resorts can be reached by shuttle bus from the station, and even the ski rental shop next to the station will provide free shuttle service after renting equipment. Here we recommend two of the most popular ski resorts in Echigo-Yuzawa, “IWAPPARA” and “ISHIUCHI MARUYAMA”.
"Iwahara IWAPPARA" ski resort is famous for its wide and gentle slopes. The widest part of the slope is 600 meters (not the length, but the width!). No matter how you slide, it is difficult to hit anyone, which is reassuring. There is also a 4km-long forest cruising ski trail, which allows even green-level snow enthusiasts to enjoy and overlook the mountain scenery, making it suitable for beginners. It also has Japan's largest snow play park, which provides a variety of snow play facilities, such as snow basins, snowmobiles, snow scooters, etc. You can enjoy playing in the snow even if you don't ski.
"ISHIUCHI MARUYAMA" ski resort is a long-established ski resort with a long history. It has many beginner ski trails with gentle slopes, spacious and uncrowded ski trails, which reduces the risk of collision with other skiers and allows novices to practice with peace of mind. There is a children's area and a sledding area. There are hot springs, restaurants and other facilities around the ski resort, allowing parents and children to enjoy the trip. It is close to local specialty restaurants, where you can taste Koshihikari rice, Japanese sake from the Uonuma area and other local delicacies, combining skiing and food culture experience. "From day skiing to night partying, all your skiing wishes can be fulfilled at once!"
