Introducing the charms of Yuzawa Nakazato Snow Resort | Special passes for summer and winter are now on sale

STEEP is currently selling a special package called " GO GREEN + SNOW PASS " which includes summer activities and a winter lift ticket . This package showcases the summer attractions of participating ski resort, "Yuzawa Nakazato Snow Resort."

The forest in Yuzawa Nakazato, where we used to do tree runs in the winter, has been transformed into an aerial adventure field that will bring the biggest smiles to children's faces. This summer's family trip is definitely going to be to Yuzawa Nakazato, which offers incredible value

The forest where you ski in winter transforms into a forest of aerial adventures in summer

That forest, which was once a ski resort in winter... The varied density of trees makes for a fun, rhythmic change in the terrain. The vast tree-run area of ​​Yuzawa Nakazato, spread across diverse slopes, continues to attract more fans as a hidden powder wonderland

In winter, the forest of Yuzawa Nakazato captivates hardcore freeskiers, but when the snow melts, it transforms into the adventure field of "Forest Adventure." Instead of shouts of "Yeah!!" and "Powder is the best!", you'll hear the laughter of children saying, "I did it!" and "Yay!"

First, I'd like you to watch this video

Part of the course runs through a forest where you can ski in winter. Wires and attractions attached to trees remain firmly in place beneath the snow. The same place looks completely different in summer. In the midst of all this, the feeling of "Oh, I've skied here before!" is fresh and surprisingly fun

Forest Adventure is an outdoor park originating in France where participants wear a special harness and move through the air from tree to tree in the forest. Yuzawa Nakazato has two areas: the "Canopy Course," which can be enjoyed by children from around the lower elementary school grades, and the more challenging "Adventure Course."

The Canopy Course is open to anyone 110cm or taller. While the Canopy Course can be completed in about an hour, the Adventure Course includes more challenging obstacles and will likely take half a day to complete

Two courses with nine zip lines. You don't see this scale very often

The highlight of each site is the incredibly popular zip line. There are a whopping nine zip lines spread across the two courses!

Even kids who get scared and cry during the course never cry on the zip slide. Every single child is smiling when they do that. I think it's worth coming to Nakazato just to see the children's biggest smiles

"That's what Mr. Sato asserts. The exhilarating feeling of soaring into the air, the floating sensation as if swimming through the air—it's not just children who get addicted to that feeling, but adults too

The adventure course actually features a secret "alpine zip slide" that hasn't even been revealed on the official website yet. Instead of landing on the ground as usual, you land in the trees. It's a dynamic experience that's only possible in a ski resort setting. This secret experience seems to be very fun

"Skiers and snowboarders will probably understand this feeling," says Sato. "I really want you to try it," he adds emphatically

Forest adventures are sure to help children grow

"Forest Adventure," while popular in Japan as a leisure activity derived from "athletic" courses, is highly regarded in Europe as an educational program that fosters risk management skills. Moving to the next point and overcoming fears are all up to the children themselves. Through thrilling experiences, children learn the importance of "ensuring their own safety."

Up in the trees, no one can help you. That's why the joy of the moment you succeed becomes a learning experience and builds confidence. A challenging spirit, overcoming fear, resilience to never give up and get back up again and again, self-esteem—just as you learn how to ski or snowboard in winter and improve your skills, adventures in the forest surely help children's minds and bodies grow

"Play and grow naturally"—the perfect way for families to spend their summer holidays is right here

I really wanted people who come to visit in the winter to experience the charm of Yuzawa Nakazato in the summer. That's why I set the price this way!

—Mr. Sato from Yuzawa Nakazato Snow Resort said this with a laugh

The STEEP Special Value Ticket we're introducing today includes Forest Adventure (normally around 4,000 yen for adults) + a 1-day lift ticket for 2026-2027 (high season around 6,000 yen for adults) for just 4,500 yen! Is it really okay to get this for this price?　

How about introducing your child to golf before or after their adventure?

During the green season at Yuzawa Nakazato, in addition to Forest Adventure, you can also enjoy a family short course (golf). It's an iron course with a total length of 857 yards, 9 holes, par 27, and the longest hole is 129 yards.With rental clubs for children also available, it's one of the few places where you can easily enjoy a full-fledged golf experience.

As Mr. Sato says, "Just relax and enjoy yourself," making it perfect for your first time on a golf course. How about playing at Forest Adventure, followed by lunch and then some family golf?　

A train journey that children will love is also one of the highlights of Yuzawa Nakazato

It's a 70-minute ride on the Joetsu Shinkansen, and just two stops from Echigo-Yuzawa to Yuzawa-Nakazato Station on the local line. The ski slopes are right there before your eyes. For a child who loves trains, the mere fact that they can ride the Shinkansen or local trains is already a major event

Yuzawa Nakazato is the perfect family trip destination, fulfilling the criteria of being inexpensive, close, and short

For overnight trips, choose "Angel Grandia"

While Yuzawa is easily accessible for a day trip, it's even better to relax a bit. For an overnight stay, how about "Angel Grandia Echigo Nakazato," located within walking distance of Yuzawa Nakazato? This family-friendly hotel offers plenty of family-friendly rooms and amenities. It's perfect for 1-night/2-day or 2-night/3-day family trips

The reason for this great deal is simply our desire to let you know
