About “Yuzawa-Kogen Ski Resort”
Right in the centre of Yuzawa, this resort is very conveniently located and is a great resort for beginner to intermediate riders and skiers. The family orientated 'Nunoba' resort at the base backs straight onto the Yuzawa Main Onsen Street. Yuzawa Kogen also connects to GALA Yuzawa ski resort. This link between resorts often offers customer faster entry to Gala Yuzawa especially on weekends and national holidays as it avoids the queues getting off the bullet train. Yuzawa-Kogen is highly regarded by many local riders as one of the secret powder stashes.
