It's great, convenient, and very affordable
I originally purchased ski tickets in advance on another website, but due to an error in the itinerary, I needed to replan my trip. However, since the tickets had a limited usage date, I was lucky to find the perfect tickets that allowed me to book the ski resort on the same day, so I didn’t miss out on the beautiful fresh snow. The price was also even better! I highly recommend WAmazing!

Gala Yuzawa Snow Resort
Resort features
This ski resort offers exceptional convenience with its integrated station and ski center. The bullet train from Tokyo Station takes just 71 minutes (travel time may vary due to schedule revisions), providing the perfect environment for skiing and snowboarding. Catering to day-trip skiing, the resort has rental corners, changing rooms, restaurants, and more. Once you're ready, hop on the large gondola on the second floor of the ski center, taking you directly to slopes approximately 800 meters above sea level! With various courses suitable for all skill levels, from beginners to experts, it's perfect for everyone. The ski center also features a souvenir store and a day-trip hot spring, offering ample post-skiing activities. For those seeking an authentic skiing experience without the need to carry equipment, this ski resort is recommended.
