About this spot

GALA Yuzawa Ski Resort boasts overwhelming convenience as a "ski resort you can reach by Shinkansen." Step out of the station gates and you are already at the ski center. With extremely well-equipped rental facilities, its greatest feature is that you can enjoy winter sports "empty-handed," without carrying heavy gear. The slopes have 16 varied courses that make use of the elevation difference, from panoramic courses with superb views to full-fledged off-piste areas. Even if you don't ski or snowboard, you can fully enjoy the charm of winter with an aerial stroll on the gondola and a dedicated snow-play park. After your activities, we recommend soaking in the natural hot spring at the on-site "SPA GALA Yuzawa" to soothe your tired body. It is a classic winter leisure spot ideal for friends, couples and families, as well as for solo travelers who want to concentrate on skiing as a day trip from Tokyo.
