Introducing recommended courses, weather forecasts, live cameras, and course maps at Yuzawa Kogen Ski Resort
Yuzawa Kogen Ski Resort is like this
A 7-minute aerial walk to an altitude of approximately 1000m and spectacular skiing is attractive.
It takes about 70 minutes by Shinkansen from the Tokyo metropolitan area, and about 2 minutes by free shuttle bus from JR Echigo Yuzawa Station to arrive at the foot of the ski resort. Yuzawa Plateau is characterized by its dynamic nature, as you can access the summit at 1,000 meters above sea level in just seven minutes by one of the world's largest ropeways, which can seat 166 people. I would definitely like to experience the ``7-minute walk in the air.''
The slopes are made up of two areas: the plateau area and the foothills area. The famous course is a long run with the longest run distance of 5km from the top to the bottom. Downhill while looking out at the magnificent panorama of the Echigo Sanzan and Tanigawa mountain ranges is an exhilarating experience. During the peak season or when a low-pressure system arrives, you can fully expect high-quality powder snow in the Yuzawa area.
