A good place to ski in Japan - GALA Yuzawa Ski Resort
December is a good opportunity for skiing. If you don't want to go as far as Hokkaido, there are many choices around Tokyo~ For example, Nagano and Niigata. Because it takes about eight or nine hours to go to Nagano, I finally chose the gala ski resort inside the snow field, which can be reached directly by Shinkansen in one hour and twenty minutes.
Book a package online 11500 yen/person (including Shinkansen round trip designated seat➕snow field cable car ticket). If you buy a ticket at the green window, it will cost about seven thousand yen one way from Tokyo station to the snow field, so it is very cost-effective to book tickets online.
This snow field does not require a ticket. Snow equipment, clothes, hats, goggles and so on can be rented on the spot, a set is about 12500 yen. If you need a coach, you can choose one-on-one or large classes. One-on-one needs to be booked in advance, and large classes can be registered on the spot 5500 yen/person. The 90-minute class will teach you some basic knowledge.
The snow trails are divided into beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. If you are a beginner, you should obediently take the beginner's trail. Don't underestimate the beginner's trail. At the beginning, I basically fell down, super exciting. The latest must return the snow equipment before five thirty in the afternoon, the cable car will stop running at four thirty in the afternoon, try to go early to play more fun. Personally, I suggest playing there for two days, you can enjoy the snow scene while soaking in the hot spring at night, it's so beautiful
GALA Yuzawa Ski Resort has super convenient transportation. There are many facilities for dining, shopping, hot springs and sightseeing. Beginners can also slide with super confidence. Take the Yue Shinkansen from Tokyo Station to GALA Yuzawa Station for about 75 minutes. The first time you go, it is highly recommended!
Snow skiing place not far from Tokyo. Can take the Shinkansen for only about an hour.
Been to winter I want to see the atmosphere at the end of the autumn changing color. It's strange in another way
It's too treasure! Build directly with the Shinkansen station, no need to wait for another bus. There are snow field junior high school high-level snow trails, and you can ask coaches in various languages from all over the world! If you want to play day and night to return to other places, this is a very convenient choice.
My kids enjoyed to play snow in this ski resort well. The resort skiing scope quite big and many lines for skiing and boarding activity.
