Top 45 things to do and attractions in Minamiuonuma

theres not that many runs so it gets boring after skiing here for one day. the runs are all relatively easy and there is only one black run so if you’re more advanced it would be quite boring. the freshly groomed snow is a bit hard and icy but the ungroomed snow is very soft.

I loved the service and location. Very much accessible and easy to get around. Nearby location to have fun ski or snowboarding. Rental service was good. I loved the rental gears too. Very neat and fitting. All very good condition gears. Recommended if you are planning to have fun there.

Unfortunately the snow condition was bad when I went. When I went to the top the vision was unclear making it dangerous Especially the green course on the top, it was so narrow that I had 2 big crash with other people. While I recommend beginners to play at the bottom green zone, I wouldn’t recommend going to the top for beginners

Iwappara Ski Resort is a very beginner-friendly ski resort! The view is incredible.

If you are a beginner, this is a place for you. The terrain is flat and broad. Booked a 2 hour lesson from klook (SGD 190++ for 4 person). Can't believe we know how to ski after the 2 hour lesson!

One of the best skiing areas I have been in Japan. There are a variety of different ski lifts to go for different levels of difficulty. The highest peak closes at around 4:30pm which is a safe thing as during winter it gets dark rather early. However, if you still want to ski during the night there is also a night time area where you could ski well into The night. If you choose to go there be sure to bring plenty of warm clothes and gloves and they tend to freeze, yes, freeze as the snow melts on your gloves and freezes again. You can choose to live in one of the few hotels that are on The mountainside (1/4 up The mountain I think) where they provide Japanese style living quarters with public bathrooms and onsen (little small) as well as catering (small portions for those who are used to western portions). On a good day with clear weather the view is simply stunning. And is worth every penny and minute getting there.

It has a wide slope and good for beginners but the ski and snowboard rental here is not good. It only 2.5 hrs away from Tokyo by car. Good for 1 day trip

Very busy but well organized. Food is a bit pricy but not too bad compared to other facilities. Good quality lifts. It was a fun day

Good ski resort for the long covered snow escalator. However getting to and from the slopes is difficult due to oversubscribed buses from Echigo Yuzawa station. We had to wait for an hour each way. Only recommended for absolute first timers requiring the snow escalator.

Had wonderful experience at Yuzawa Nakazato snow. It was our first time experiencing snow and ski, so my children were excited too. We took ski class for 2 hours, most important is the place not too crowded so we can practice skiing well. The price was reasonable too, value for money.

I’ve done snowboarding in some few places in Japan since I’ve started it here but this is one of the nice place and mostly for beginners to intermediate friendly. We went with our lab members and most of them were beginner. But everyone learned how to ski or snowboarding. I’ll recommend you if you’re a beginner or wanna learn. It was actually hot 🥵 though it was snow.

It is great venue to learn or mastered your snowboarding or skiing skills. 1. Have convinience store 2. Have food court 3. Have public toilet 4. Parking lot are big 5. There is rental board 6. Area smoking available 7. Best view both at the bottom or the top 8. Have parking for disability people 9. Accesible by private car or public transportation like Train 10. have many track that suit well from beginner to expert snowboarder.

Not so crowded so very relaxed when skiing. Suitable for both amateur and professional skiers.

The slopes offer variety from beginner to expert level, although it can be a bit crowded on the weekends and holidays. Overall, a good place to visit with your mates.

It's good station, I went to Echigo Yuzawa from Otorii Station, just to see snow. There are many seller here to buy some merchandise

I've passed through this station three times now (all in the summer), and while small, it has a lot of stuff to do. There's a huge area with gacha capsule toys, several restaurants, a really long area filled with souvenir shops, and even the sake onsen. Lots of accommodation in the town, and it's really easy to walk around outside on foot (in the summer).

Steam rises from rooftops; snow falls like feathers. Yuzawa hums with laughter and clinking sake cups — the warmth of strangers sharing winter. The train rests here longer, as if to taste the hot spring air. Tourist Tip: Famous ski and onsen town. Station has Sake Museum “Ponshukan” with tasting stations. Excellent overnight for snow or autumn leaves. Try onsen eggs and rice crackers.

Easy access to the snow & ski resorts around. The station has good connectivity through multiple options of bullet trains - Shinkansen, shuttling between Tokyo and Niigata. The station building is accessible for strollers and wheelchairs. Also, there is a beautiful food and souvenirs area inside the station, a convenience store too. Right outside the front of the station is a hot water feet dipping place.

Best places to go see snow if you want to go by Shinkansen. The only snow resort next to a shinkansen station. Only 2 hours from Tokyo and very easy to reach to. Also Genbi Shinkansen starts from here to Niigata which is an amazing art-sy kind of Shinkansen so it is fast but every compartment is designed by a different designer so it makes the ride fun as well. Highly recommended to go there. If you don't want to ski and just see snow conveniently from Tokyo, this is easy and faster way to reach. Also the station has souvenir shops and snow gear for rental of you do plan to go skiing. Lockers are available to keep your stuff if you want to just go out for fun. Food is also extensively available. Great place.

This station is the confluence of Shinkansen train (bullet train) and also the local train network in Niigata. The local train network in Niigata does not have automated gantry for stored value cards, eg seca. Stored value card can be used to purchase single trip tickets at the machine. When entering to the platforms, passengers need to show the ticket at the ticket counter to receive a stamp. Upon arrival, to present the stamped ticket to the ticket counter and will be collected. So it is still manual. The Shinkansen has its own automated gantry for its tickets. The station has a big area of duty free shopping for the local produce in Niigata. There is also a visitor information centre and postal service. There is a cafe with bakes and also a standing noodle bar. A convenient store is also present.

Train station with lots of restaurants and shops selling local produce. The ponshukan (sake shop) with many sake vending machines is a popular novelty though kids are not allowed. Free shuttle busses to various ski hotels and taxis are available just outside. A few restaurants too.

You can feel the beauty of nature in there. You can take nice photo in there. It is also nice place to visit and hike.

Starting point from Haakisan ropeway. Follow the foot path to climb up the summit of the mountain. There are steep and slippery path, so dont forget to use proper shoes and gloves. Somepart are already cobered by snow at beginning of November. 20181104.

(Translated by Google) Yatsumine is a tough climb with a series of chain points. There is also a winding path to Mt.Nyudodake 1778m. On the way down, I walked on a winding path. There are also some steep spots (a place where six long ladders are connected and a chain area). Great 360 degree views from the peaks of Yatsumine and Mt. Nyudo. We could see many famous peaks. (Original) 八ツ峰は鎖場が連続する厳しい登りです。 入道岳1778mへは巻き道もあります。 下りは巻き道を歩きました。こちらも険しい箇所(長梯子を6つ繋げた所や鎖場)がいくつかあります。 八ツ峰や入道岳の峰々からは360度の大展望。多くの名峰が望めました。

(Translated by Google) Touring from Aichi I took the ropeway early in the morning hoping to see the sea of ​​clouds. I took the easy course in a T-shirt, jeans, and rider sneakers... I thought it would just be a walk, but it turned out to be training level 💧 A complete beginner shouldn't just go on a whim in light clothing. I tried my best to get to the Nyonin-do, but it took me an hour and a half. I didn't have the stamina and it was tough. The people I passed on the way back were well equipped and had sturdy shoes. My knees were shaking and I was sweating like crazy. I took a break until my clothes dried. Please warn any lightly dressed amateurs trying to climb. (Original) 愛知からツーリング 雲海が見れるかもと早朝のロープウェイに乗りました。 Tシャツ、ジーパン、ライダースニーカーでらくらくコースに、、、 散歩程度かと思ったら修行レベルだった💧 超初心者が軽装で思いつきで向かってはダメです。 女人堂まで頑張ったけど1時間30分かかりました。体力ないしキツかったです 引き返してすれ違う方々は装備バッチリ靴もしっかりしたものでした。 膝はガクガク、全身滝汗状態 服が乾くまで休憩 軽装の素人さんが登ろうとしてたら警告してあげてください

(Translated by Google) I took the rocky route on the way there and the detour route on the way back. If you're used to chain climbing on the rocks, I think you'll have no problem as long as you avoid bad weather. The detour route is in a state of disintegration, so there's a slightly higher risk of falling or getting lost. The feeling of exhilaration when you reach the summit is great, so I was lucky to be able to attempt it on a nice day. (Original) 行きは岩場ルート、帰りは迂回路ルートを使用。 岩場は鎖登攀に慣れていれば、悪天候を避ければ問題ないと思う。 迂回路ルートは、崩壊が進んでおり転落や遭難リスクがやや高めか。 登頂の爽快感はとても良いので、天気の良い日に挑戦できたのは幸いだった。

(Translated by Google) Going casually is risky, but it can be fun. Helmet and gloves are required. There are many cliffs, so you get a sense of altitude and are rewarded with a spectacular view. There is a panoramic view of Uonuma on one side, and Mt. Echigo-Komagatake on the other. The sense of accomplishment is amazing. It looks like it would be perfect for practicing for Mt. Tsurugidake. By the way, please note that the ropeway parking lot does not open until around 6:30. (Original) カジュアルに行くのは危険だけれども、楽しめます。ヘルメット、グローブは必須。絶壁が多いので高度感もあり、絶景のご褒美があります。片方には魚沼が一望できる景色、もう片方には越後駒ヶ岳など。達成感は素晴らしい。剱岳に行く練習にちょうど良さそうです。 ちなみにロープウェー駐車場は6:30くらいまで開かないため要注意。

(Translated by Google) It is a very beautiful mountain. It has been the subject of mountain worship since ancient times. (Original) とても美しい山です。古来より山岳信仰の山です。

Surprisingly good italian food on a ski slope AND midway up the mountain. Usually, you will be hard pressed to find decently authentic and good European fare in Japan, let alone up a ski slopes but this one takes the cake. Go for their pizzas.

Pizza and Italian cousin at almost double price of normal Tokyo price. Within 1 minute walk from Gondola (Gala - Yuzawa Kogen) station at Yuzawa Kogen side. I tried their best pizza, Bishmarck with Maitake mushrooms and…It cost 4500JPY or so and…tasted not bad, but…my colleagues had told me that their pizzas were amazing…but…probably they had other kinds of pizzas there. Mobile signal was super weak there and the staffs know it, but it seemed they hadn’t tried to improve the situation. It took 20 minutes for a customer in front of me to make the payment by Apple Pay because of the mobile network connection and the terrible operation of the staffs. One young female staff was communicative. I am sorry to say, but it seemed that staffs there were not trained well enough for operations even though they don’t seem bad. There is a huge room to improve! I hope they will.

This place gets crowded, fast. Make sure you get in early and have a table. We had to wait for atleast 40 mins to get in :( English menu is available, staff is friendly. Pricing is decent considering the quality of food is good. We tried a couple of pizza and pasta (vegetarian). All flavorful and served warm. Drink selection is better than I have seen in some of the ski resorts in the region. Recommend visiting if you love Italian food.

Nice restaurant with proper social distancing. But.... The pizza was a joke. I think it is possible. To find better options buying frozen ones for microwave. For what you get, the price is wayyyy too much. Seriously!

Wow. I second the other reviews about this place being surprisingly good. The pizza was excellent, and so were the salads. I understand they are short on staff so everything is done online (ordering and paying). Would absolutely recommend this place and will come back. It is on the expensive side to be japan though.

Its crazy that one of the best Italian restaurants in japan I have been too, is also on top of a mountain ski resort. Lol The food was great, little overpriced but I can understand because they have to ship the food all the way up there. Scenery was amazing with mountains and snow. Only bad thing is that the lines were long but it was worth it.

Everything is delicious! The amazing view adds to the overall experience! Been there in the winter, spring and summer. Each season has its own beauty. Be ready to cue for an hour or 2 during peak season.

A wonderful small museum that tells the history of Yugawa area and part of the livelihood of the Novel Prize Laureate, Kawabata Yasunari. The bestseller, Yukigini (Snow Country) , he wrote was based on his romance with a lady here. The museum has outlined this story and his life of literature. A must go even though you just want to do snow sport.

Quiet but interesting place to visit, recommend for those who like folks culture.

Very good culturally experience

Interesting little culture/history/folk museum in the center of Yuzawa. Sections on traditional ways of life throughout the four season, as well as art and objects related to the novel Yukiguni. It doesn't take too long to go around the 3 floors and it is good value at 500 yen per adult.

It was raining outside. Perfect way to spend the afternoon getting to know the area and its history and about Yasunari Kawabata and his famous book. Well worth the 500 yen entry fee.

Very small display area but interesting about the area all the same. Some very old stuff on display. Staff were friendly and spoke English, many of the signs in Japanese only. Only short visit required.

small but worth to see

A fun little fishing experience for children. There are small ponds dotted down the length of a river filled with fish. Armed with a bamboo fishing rod and a choice of different baits you try to pull them out of the river. Once you have caught them you can clean and gut them, and then roast them on skewers on a charcoal grill. There is also one pond where you can pay to try to catch the fish by hand. The Fishing Park also has a large BBQ area where you can buy platters of meat, vegetables and noodles and grill them over the flames - no need to bring anything yourself.

Really fun place to chill and catch fish you can cook and eat there

If you like river fishing Than this is the place for you . A fine refreshing fishing park even good for starters and kids too And there is a cooking place too You can burn the fish you caught and eat at the spot

It's weird cause the fish does not eat the bait only rarely, and this old guy who is working in this place throws a food pellet for the fish and the fish went crazy to eat it.

Nice fishing sports 👍👌for children's experiences

Very nice memory here!

It was fairly cheap and a great Japanese experience. Catching fish, cleaning it yourself and cooking it at the barbecue.

I visited this 50 years old factory as a part of study tour on local industry in Japan. I learn about there unique way of wine storage thats ensure the fresh and natural flavor... By the way, it’s very famous here in Japan...

Nice touristic place 👌

This is a cool little place on the outskirts of Urasa. The buildings are distinctive with their wooden beams and white walls. Rows of grape vines are dotted around the surrounding fields. Head into the main winery building where there is a shop and a tasting counter with an array of the different products they produce. The last time we went the sparkling wine was the pick of the bunch. Down the stairs you can see the barrels in which the wine ages and can also see some of the snow that lines the basement walls to regulate the temperature throughout the summer. Across the little road is the restaurant. An open kitchen with a varied menu and a full wine list of their own wine by the bottle or glass. Always a good meal.

The best place to try various types of wines

Great ambiance, excellent food, impeccable service!

(Translated by Google) Agricoa Echigo Winery is located in the corner of Yashikinomori Park, a 20-minute walk from Urasa Station. Grapes are also grown in the surrounding area, and by this time, in the height of summer, the grapes were ripening. The winery had been renovated and had a beautiful interior, and they had snacks to go with sake and souvenir food from Uonuma, so it was nice to have a better selection of products than I had expected. Our goal was wine tasting (for a fee), but since I was driving, I couldn't drink, so my companion drank some. As a result, I purchased the most expensive Domaine Echigo Merlot red at 6,000 yen because it was rich and had a good scent. I'm looking forward to seeing what Uonuma's wine tastes like. There is also a snow storage room in the basement, so I went to check it out, but it was dark so I couldn't really see the condition, but it seems like the snow is used to keep the temperature low all year round and allow it to mature. When you think of Niigata, you think of sake, but in Uonuma, where there is a difference in temperature between day and night, the grapes are probably good, so the wine is also worth paying attention to. (Original) 浦佐駅から徒歩20分、八色の森公園の隅にあるアグリコア越後ワイナリー。周辺では葡萄も育てており、夏真っ盛りのこの時期には葡萄の実がなっていた。ワイナリーはリニューアルしたのか内装も綺麗で、酒に合うつまみや魚沼の土産用の食品なども揃っており、想定していたよりも商品が充実していたので良かった。お目当てはワインの試飲(有料)、ただ自分は運転していたので飲めず、連れが幾つか飲んだ。結果、一番高い6000円のドメーヌ・越後メルロー赤が重厚かつ香りも良いという事で購入。魚沼のワインが一体どんな味なのか、楽しみである。地下には雪室貯蔵もあるので見に行ってみたが、暗くて状態はよく分からなかったが、雪を利用して年間低温を保ち熟成させるようだ。新潟といえば日本酒だが、昼夜で寒暖の差がある魚沼ではきっと葡萄の出来も良いのか、ワインにも注目だ。

(Translated by Google) You can casually sample wine🍷 and enjoy the sale of merchandise and sweets. Best of all, the autumn leaves🍁 are the best at this time of year✨😄 (Original) ワイン🍷の試飲が　気軽にできます　グッズやスイーツの販売も有り　楽しめます　何よりこの時期は　紅葉🍁が最高✨😄

Wonderful park for a quiet walk.

(Translated by Google) This is an art museum located in a corner of Yashikinomori Park. The sports culture exhibition room has exhibits related to baseball, the Olympics, sumo wrestling, etc. On this day, there were exhibits of paintings and photographs by local people related to Hakkaisan, as well as Hakkaisan stones. What was surprising was that there was a Koizumi Yakumo literary reference room. I personally liked the author, so I watched it with great interest. Lastly, I had a cup of Lafcadio Coffee at the Ikebi Café in the lobby. Enjoying coffee while looking at Mt. Hakkaisan is the best taste. Thank you for the meal. As a side note, the harmony between the Matasaburo Kaze statue and the outside scenery was wonderful. (Original) 八色の森公園の一角にある美術館です。スポーツ文化展示室に野球やオリンピック、相撲などに関係した展示があります。この日は八海山に関わる地元の方々の絵画や写真、八海山石などの展示がありました。 意外だったのは、小泉八雲文学資料室があったことです。個人的に好きな作家だったので、興味深く見させていただきました。 最後にロビーのイケビカフェで「ラフカディオ珈琲」をいただきました。八海山を望みながらいただくコーヒーは最高の味ですね。ごちそうさまでした。 補足ですが、風の又三郎像と外の景色の調和も素敵でした。

(Translated by Google) The reflection of the pond through the glass in the lobby shone beautifully in the tranquil atmosphere. The sports culture exhibition room was a true treasure trove for baseball fans, with valuable exhibits from great players such as Shigeo Nagashima, Sadaharu Oh, and Shohei Otani. We also had a ball signed by Babe Ruth, which was a really satisfying moment! At the cafe next to the lobby, we milled carefully selected coffee beans and brewed them by hand. It smelled good and was delicious. (Original) ロビーの全面ガラス越しに映る池が、静寂な空気の中で美しく輝いていました。 スポーツ文化展示室には、長嶋茂雄さん、王貞治さん、大谷翔平さんを始めとする偉大な選手たちの貴重な展示品が並び、野球ファンにとってはまさに宝の山でした。 ベイブルースのサインボールもあり、本当に満足のひとときでした！ ロビー横にあるカフェでは、こだわりの珈琲豆をミルして手作業で入れていただきました。香りも良く、美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) I missed going inside again, but just the contrast with the pond makes me feel happy. I would definitely like to stop by the cafe next time. (Original) また中に入りそびれましたが、池とのコントラストだけでも幸せな気分になれます。次回は必ずcafe に立ち寄りたいと思います。

(Translated by Google) The memorial for Shigeo Nagashima was held. The view from the lobby was great. (Original) 長島茂雄さん追悼をしていました。ロビーからの景色は良かったです。

(Translated by Google) It is a two-story building with many exhibition rooms. I think the 500 yen admission fee is cheap for a museum of this size, and the location of Mt. Hakkaisan from the garden is wonderful. (Original) ２階建てで、展示室がたくさんあります。この規模の美術館で入館料500円は安いと思いますし、庭からの八海山のロケーションは素晴らしいですが

(Translated by Google) This museum displays collections related to culture and sports that sports journalist Tsuneo Ikeda acquired through baseball exchanges. While working as a journalist, he interacted not only with baseball players but also with a variety of players, and the exhibit includes not only goods worn by many famous players, but also photos of them in action. Other exhibits include materials left behind by Yakumo Koizumi and paintings by Yaichi Aizu and Ragusa Tama (Kiyohara Tama), but they are not specialized in sports or artworks originating from Niigata or Uonuma in particular. The contents of the exhibits, including the exhibitions, are often inconsistent. The scale of the exhibits is not that large, so you can walk through all the exhibits in about an hour. The building itself is very beautiful, with an exterior that perfectly harmonizes with nature such as the trees and pond of Yashiki-no-Mori Park. It's 500 yen for adults, so it might be a good idea to stop by while taking a break while walking.

This snow/ski resort, is accessible for everyone even you are not doing ski. The ticket price for gondola, not too pricey. But, if you only want to play snow, maybe this is not for you. In fact, you can play snow outside the door near the rental area, with barely no one there. (No need to ride the gondola). There were too many people, and it can be dangerous if you are not aware of the ski-people. Even the parking space was full, and we need to find ourselves a parking spot, 15 minutes walking from the entrance. But still, there are many things to do other than skiing that you can choose. We were so lucky to have a snowfalls! But still, it was a good experience for all of us, especially me, who loves Japan the most.

A very ideal ski resort that is accessible via Tokyo. If you are looking for a nearby ski experience near Tokyo, this is the place. Can get very crowded on some parts but there are also some places here that are not crowded. All in all a good place and would recommend.

If you’re around Tokyo, if you can squeeze it in on your itinerary, please do. This is an amazing place! Winter Wonderland indeed. We went there around February this year. Be prepared with winter clothes. There are rental gears inside, but you can also bring your own. 🤍

Great ski/snowboard resort for beginners to intermediates. Access from Tokyo’s amazing (walk right off the Shinkansen to the resort, pick up your rental gear, then walk to life and go!) Views are beautiful and slopes are not so crowded on weekdays. Try to cafe which is on the edge of the slopes and is a great spot to take a break.

Lots of fun with family. Rent 2 sledges for a family. We spend 3-4 hours over here. If you wanna play snow. You better rent weather proof suit and rubber boots. Train from Ueno to Gala YUZAWA is convenient and easy. Trip start 8am it takes only 1 hr to arrive at Gala YUZAWA. Buy ticket and equipment rental take around 20-30 mins. Gondola will take around 10-12 mins to get the ski mountain. It’s a good place to visit even though you don’t ski. My kid really like to play here.

We had a good experience at Gala Yuzawa Snow Resort. As soon as we arrived at the station, there were people guiding tourists were to buy tickets. On the same floor, there are counters where you get your gondola and lift tickets. If you won’t be skiing, like us, you just need a gondola ticket and you will be able to go up and down as many times as you want during the day. The ride takes just a few minutes. We had big bag packs and left them at the station because it’s the only place where they have big lockers. We rented moon bikes at the top, they give you a helmet with a camera. When the activity ends, they give you a QR code so you can download your video.

GALA is easily accessible via shuttle from Echigo Yuzawa Station at Platform 5 (take the orange line). If you are not a local, don't worry because everything would be available in various languages as well. For example, if you are there to rent anything, forget the fear of being unable to communicate with the staff on what you want including your sizes etc. They have self-selection stations that allows you to pick and choose what you'd like to rent from sets to ala carte if you happen to bring some of your own gear eg. snowboarding wear etc. Prices are very friendly as well, with the snowboarding board, boots and helmet at a friendly 8500 yen, and a half-day, one-day lift ticket at 6500 yen. Be prepared to be greeted by powder snow with a variety of narrow and wide slopes. I was here on a Saturday in January but in the peak afternoon it wasn't that crowded at all on the wide slopes and you could still snowboard comfortably. Be wary though, the slopes may be a little steep for first-timers so do find an area to grasp the basics first. Love the big space, friendly prices and fast services. Cheers GALA!

4th November The place was not looking so beautiful because of the 🍁 🍂 Autumn leaves are fully falling down. I think the peak time was the last week of October. By the way, the lake was looking so cool.

This is the top station for the dragondola, you reach here after 25 min ride, which you can enjoy the scenery Up here, there’s some food trucks that sell very good snacks. Also one coffee stall The building inside has a very cool fireplace and udon stall, with many seats, very good for resting Also there’s a separate ski lift (payment separate) where you can go up further more , this one is ski lift so there’s no shelter but a lot of fun

It’s very high up. It’s a nice time. But if you go pass the first week of November their won’t be much fall leaves 🍁 left sadly.

Lots of people seem to be mistakenly writing reviews here about the ski resort or about a restaurant.... The title though is Dragondola Station... And oh boy the Dragondola is just phenomenal. 5000 meters and 20 minutes of stunning views of rivers, lakes and mountains. If you're skiing Naeba it's worth the additional 700 yen on top of your lift pass just to ride up and back. Not to mention it connects Naeba to the far superior Kagura resort. Only problem is it closes slightly early at 15:30.

Restaurant and walking tracks around at the mountain top station.

Different walks from short walks of just 30 mins to longer ones of 2 hours. Can easily spend 3 hours here. Several places - one indoor and a few outdoor to get hot coffee or cold drinks and snacks

Spectacular view of curving spine of a dragon.

Nice view on top of the mountain. Don’t need to buy tickets in advance. Perfect place for family trip :)

Purchased the round trip ticket in advance and collected the tickets there with QR code effortlessly. Most visitors are here to ski while I am here for the views only. A 7 minute ride to the destination. Spectacular scenery and convenient location (within walking distance from the JR echigo yuzawa station). Highly recommend;)

We visited in autumn so no snow yet. I imagined it would have been a great place on winter. Nonetheless there is a spectacular view of the town from a coffee shop there which is very relaxing. Small activites at autumn with the gliding var which my kids enjoyed. The garden would have been great if it was springnor autumn. We still had fun though.

Excellent place to learn for beginners at their family course. Walkable distance if you are staying along this road. Amazing view if you take the gondola uphill.

Beautiful place to take a hike and enjoy views

We went at the end of october and the leaves already turned yellow/red, it was beautiful! Perfect for a weekend getaway staying in a ryokan and walking through the woderful alpine routes (they are 3 levels). You can buy the tickets for the ropeway also directly in the ryokan you will stay (it's cheaper). The air is incredibly pure and fresh over there and the views stunning!

Scenic view of the changing autumn landscape. Take the free ski lift to get to mid hill with many great photo spots

Very short courses and only allowed to do them once. Very disapointing. Recommend going to other Forest Adventure where you have mote time to explore courses more than once

Much too short. Only 45 minutes was allowed. Same company and same price in Shikoku was 2 hours. I recommend you try other places in Japan.

(Translated by Google) This was my third time experiencing the Forest Adventure, but this was my first time trying the "Adventure Course". It was a completely different level from the Canopy Course, and I was nervous at first, thinking, "It's so high!?" In addition to being 15 meters above the ground, the footing was unstable, and I couldn't help but cry out (laughs). But as I got used to it, I gradually became calmer and learned how to use my body and place my center of gravity. People with strong core muscles can do it easily, so people who like muscle training or have an athletic constitution might enjoy it as a little training. Personally, I thought, "It's a good mental training, too." There were times when you had to make calm decisions while high and shaking, and you had to concentrate on your movements... The advanced riders had completely different perspectives and ideas, and it was interesting to see that up close! Anyway, it was a course where I made many new discoveries, not just "crossing". I feel like your potential can be brought out by the people you go with, so I think it would be a lot of fun if you go with friends who like sports. (Original) フォレストアドベンチャー自体は3回目の体験でしたが、今回初めて「アドベンチャーコース」に挑戦。 キャノピーコースとはレベルが全然違って、「こんなに高いの!?」と最初はドキドキ。地上15mの高さに加えて足元も不安定で、思わず声が出ました（笑） でも、慣れてくると徐々に冷静になってきて、身体の使い方や重心の置き方がわかってきた感じ。 体幹がしっかりしてる人はスイスイ行けるので、筋トレ好きやアスリート体質の人には、ちょっとしたトレーニング気分で楽しめるかも。 個人的には、「メンタル面もけっこう鍛えられるな」と思いました。 高くて揺れる中で冷静に判断したり、自分の動きに集中する力が問われる場面もあって…。 上級者の方は視点や発想がまったく違っていて、それを間近で見られたのも面白かったです！ とにかく、ただ“渡る”だけじゃない、新しい発見がたくさんあったコースでした。 一緒に行く人によって、自分の可能性が引き出される感じもあるので、運動好きな友達と行くとすごく楽しめると思います。

(Translated by Google) I went with my family of 4, including my older daughter and my 6th grade daughter. I have a fear of heights, so I couldn't go with them, so I decided to change the time so that my husband could accompany our two daughters, although they each took separate courses. I'm a photographer who just wanders around below. I thought my older daughter, who usually loves athletics, would be scared, but she went ahead and enjoyed it. Adults landed on the zip slide with too much force, so many of them fell down dramatically. My husband also fell on his back, but it looked like he was enjoying it too. A black T-shirt that you don't mind getting dirty is good... When it gets crowded, you have to wait for the person in front of you to cross, so I recommend going first thing in the morning. There was one staff member for both courses, but they did not provide one-on-one assistance. They will teach you the tricks so you can do the rest on your own. Even the kids who thought they were probably not good at it did their best to clear it on their own. As stated in the guide, the canopy course took 1 hour, and the adventure course took 2 hours, including the time spent waiting for the person in front of me, to complete all 5 courses. There are vending machines, but no shops. The toilet was very clean. A kitchen truck came and there were shaved ice, crepes, etc. There is a trampoline and you can play freely. It's definitely not possible for me, but I think it's a place that both children and adults can enjoy. (Original) 年長と小6の娘と家族4人で行きました。 高所恐怖症の私は一緒に回ることはできないので、時間をずらして夫が娘2人それぞれ別のコースですが付き添ってもらいました。私はひたすら下をウロウロ追いかけカメラマン。 普段からアスレチック大好きな年長の娘もさすがに怖がるかなと思いきや、ぐいぐい進んで楽しそうでした。 大人はジップスライドの着地が勢いつきすぎるので、盛大に転んでいる人が多かったです。夫も背中から転んでいましたがそれもまた楽しそうでした。 汚れてもいい黒いTシャツがいいですよ... 混んでくると前の人が渡りきるのを待たなくてはいけないので、朝1番がやっぱりオススメですね。どちらのコースも1人スタッフがいましたが、1対1で付いてくれるわけではありません。コツを教えてくれるのであとは自力です。 多分苦手なんだろうなあ...という子も自力で何とか頑張ってクリアしていました。 案内にある通り、所要時間はキャノピーコースは1時間、アドベンチャーコースは前の人を待っている時間を含めても2時間で5コース終わりました。 自動販売機はありますが売店の類はありません。 トイレはとってもキレイでした。 キッチンカーが来ていて、かき氷やクレープ等ありました。 トランポリンがあって自由に遊べます。 私には絶対無理ですが、子どもはもちろん大人も楽しめるところだと思います。

(Translated by Google) Latest posts Good news for first-time snowboarders. A moving walkway has been created in Nuoba. Snowboarders only have one foot fixed on the lift, so it is not easy to get on and off the lift. At first, you'll have to practice walking and climbing, but since you can hold the moving pavement in your hands and ride it, you'll quickly become proficient. I'll upload a photo. Then, a lot of flags were put up, making it look colorful and fun. Another good news is that it seems that snowboarding will be allowed for families as well. Starting this year, Nunoba looks like it will become a heavenly slope for beginner snowboarders. Posted a year ago We will take care of you if the ropeway stops due to strong winds. In the past, there were many single lifts here, and there was a queue of people waiting for the lifts. In terms of lift tickets, it is part of Yuzawa Kogen Ski Resort. There are lift tickets available only here, but they are only for beginners. The beginning is a little steep for people at that level, but the range is wide enough that anyone can handle it. This is a practice slope that will help you become a beginner with a sense of stability as you gradually make your line straighter. Nunoba is a ski slope for beginners to advanced skiers, so if you can ski steadily here without falling, you are a great beginner and can go up to the plateau on the low way. As long as you are skiing the beginner course, you will be fine. Let's use the ropeway on the way back. Beginner boarders will want to practice here, and since it's so wide, you'll be able to go next to the leaf dropper for a long distance, so you'll be able to get out quickly. If you do something like that in Gala, you'll definitely get hit on by someone. However, since it's so wide, why not add about 10 meters of compacted snow along the lift, set up mini poles like Naeba and Kagura, and create a free slalom course and a cob line that anyone can use? I feel like it's going to be a popular ski slope. Once you've done this, you can simply remove the mini poles as long as there's no heavy snowfall, and it's a hassle-free process. If you hang one flag at a time at the start, it will be more spectacular. If you create something like that, I think people who come down the Dicentra Mountain Course will not pass by. It's not worth the effort to decorate the side of the ski resort for this lodge in Nunoba. Let's all take better care of Nunoba Slope. Nunoba can be seen from the shuttle bus that runs along the street, so it's important to create an image of a fun ski resort. If so, I think I'll come to Yuzawa Kogen next time. (Original) 最新の投稿 初めてスノボーをする人に朗報です。 布場に動く歩道ができましたよ。スノボーはリフトの乗り降りは片方の足しか固定されないので、リフトの乗り降りは簡単にはできるようになりません。最初は歩いて登って練習するものですが、動く舗道は手に持って乗れるのですぐに上手くなれますよ。写真をアップしておきます。それから、たくさんの旗が立てられて華やかで、楽しげになりました。 もう一つ朗報なのは、ファミリーの方もスノボー解禁になるみたいですよ。今年から布場はスノボー初心者の人の天国ゲレンデになりそうですね。 一年前の投稿 風が強くてロープウエイが止まるとお世話になります。昔はここに何本もシングルリフトが掛かってリフト待ちの行列ができていました。 リフト券的には湯沢高原スキー場の一部です。ここだけのリフト券もありますが初心者限定のものです。そういうレベルの人には出だしがやや急ですが、幅が広いので誰でもなんとかなります。ライン取りをたんだん直線的にしていくと、初心者から安定感のある初級者にしてくれる練習ゲレンデです。布場は初心者から初級者になるためのゲレンデですから、ここを転ばないで安定して滑れたら立派な初級者ですから、ローウエイで高原に上がれます。初級者コースを滑っていれば大丈夫です。帰りもロープウエイを利用しましょう。 ボーダーの初心者はここで練習することになるのですが、やたら幅が広いので木葉落としの横に行くやつを長い距離できるからすぐに出きるようになりますよ。そんなことガーラでやったら必ず誰かにぶっつけられます。 でも、横にだだっ広いのだから、リフト沿いのあたり１０メートルぐらい圧雪を増やして、苗場やかぐらのようにミニポールでもたてて、誰でも入れる無料のスラロームコースとコブライン一つずつ作ったらどうかな。人気のゲレンデになるような気がするけど。一度できてしまえば、大雪が降らない限り、そのままミニポールを外してしまえば、手間かからないのからやってほしいものです。スタートに旗一枚ずつたてれば華やかになります。 そういうの作れば、コマクサ下山コースを降りて来た人も素通りしなくなると思います。せっかく布場のとこのロッジがスキー場側面を綺麗に装飾した甲斐がないというものです。みんなで布場ゲレンデをもっと大事にしましょう。 布場は通りを走るシャトルバスから見えるから楽しそうなスキー場のイメージづくりが大事ですよ。そうすれば、今度は湯沢高原に来てみようかなと思います。

(Translated by Google) This is a slope recommended for families (๑>◡<๑) (Original) ファミリー層におススメのゲレンデですね(๑>◡<๑)

We stayed three nights in January. The room is spacious but a bit old and required renovation. Dinner, bkf and lift pass are included. Food variety is limited (no sushi) but when considering the price, it is as expected. The major problem are the ski ground. There is insufficient signage to show direction, and you dont know what level of slope the liftchair will take you to. There are insufficient chairs for you to change boots. Three persons share one locker with only one key. Overall, the hotel is okay for the price charged but the ski facilities needs some improvement.

90% of the time spent on ski lifts than actually skiing. Not worth it. Our legs and knees hurt because none of the ski lifts have footrest like in Europe. If you’re gonna make people sit on ski lifts all day at least have footrest. Most of the ski lifts also don’t have safety bar. It’s a beautiful resort but it has the strangest layout where to get somewhere you need 2 even 3 connecting ski lifts. Worst part other than the non existent footrest is the fact that the ski lifts are extremely slow. Slowest ski lifts in the world. Better to ski somewhere else.

Too many ski lifts, felt like a lift resort than a ski resort. Should be renamed to Joetsu Mendokusai. Have to pay for parking and also not many food options even though there are tons of resting cabins.

I really liked this huge ski with fantastic view. But the signs were not good enough.

A good resort for beginners and strong intermediate skiers. Very old school. Lifts tend to be a bit slow, and the layout is quite annoying, with a long transition from the front part of the resort and the rather nice hinterland. Scenery is very pretty, the broad layout providing beautiful views. Showing its age but definitely worth a visit.

Nice ski resort with many slopes which are interconnected to the other resort too. They have night skiing too but only for 2 slopes.

I'm going to be honest. The resort itself is outdated and in need of a remodel. If that does not bother you, it is a nice stay. The buffets are okay. The snow itself was beautiful and the family had a great time sledding and skiing. The beginner hills kind of lead to advanced ones. Hard to learn if it's busy. Overall a fun trip.

Night ski was fun. In Yuzawa, I prefer playing snowboard at this snow mountain. The ski track is pretty fun, but needed to go up high to the top. Beautiful view. The snow here isn’t powdery though. It’s quite hard. But overall, I had a good time here.

I would say this is the go-to-resort when you are in Yuzawa. Especially if you are advancing from a beginner to intermediate level. The runs here are diverse, fun and easily accessible. It feels like a neighborhood ski resort and perhaps that’s one of the many charms it has. The family and I enjoyed the various FnB venues it has and there’s sufficient signage (and maps) around to keep you informed. It is also relatively inexpensive and there are also options of different rentals to choose from. I think this is the best ski resort in the Yuzawa area.

Always a favourite, shuttle bus really easy to follow and get to & fro echigo-yuzawa, routes are fun, view is spectacular especially during sunset. Not a huge range of routes, but should keep you busy for a day or two. Loads of rental options. Lots of food options on the slopes Get your passes before hand via kkday e.g. to save quite abit.

I had mixed feelings for this ski resort, some staff were good but some were the worst among Japan in my eyes. It was especially bad when we took a shuttle to the guesthouse near the Hatsukaishi area. When we got off, the shuttle driver stopped us from leaving and said it's the wrong station. Despite being a foreigner, my Japanese level is well enough for all the communication to be in Japanese. I tried to show him the location of our accommodation by using Google map, the driver said "there are so many hotels around the area and I DON'T CARE where you stay" in a really rude way and refused to look at my phone. I was convinced by the driver, what else could you do if a local insisted that you are going the wrong way? So the 9 of us moved our baggage back onto the bus. Later we found out it's the wrong station the driver brought us to, I tried to ask the driver to take us back to the station we initially got off, which was just 5 mins drive away. And he refused to talk to me anymore by saying "I don't understand you" (but I had been talking to him in Japanese like for 5 mins). He just told us to talk to the staff inside the resort centre and ran away with the shuttle. The staff inside told us that we initially got off at the correct stop. And it took us almost another hour to get back to the right place for the waiting time of another shuttle etc. This happened on Jan 23, 2025. Have to say other shuttle drivers and the centre staff were good. But that particular shuttle driver was awful. There are some additional problems with the staff controlling the ski lift. I stayed mostly around the Hatsukaishi area. Most of the time when I or friends fell from the lift while getting off, unlike other Japanese ski resorts, almost all the staff was indifferent to stop or slow down the lift and it was really dangerous. They just made gestures or yelled at you to leave ASAP.

A very nice place to ski for intermediate or above levels, not many ski-in ski-out hotel can choose

Very nice and beautiful ski resort nearby Gala Yuzawa station. There are so many free shuttle bus to take in every station. You can take the Shinkansen from Tokyo here. Very convenient for transportation. The ski course are so wonderful and huge. People here are not as many as in Gala. And restaurants serves great dishes. So come here and enjoy it!

It is very big ski resort and has many shops and hotels inside or along the line of ski lanes. The lough it self is modern but not as please as Gala. For advance skier is recommend because it more variety and good for tourists as they have many restuarants too.

Best ski school, best lifts, best tracks, best hotel, best trees, best snowpark, best food places, best mountain cafe, just the best resort, even rest rooms are the best

We stayed for 2days and it was wonderful! Snow was soft. Lots of lifts. Best kinder course so far.

It's my first time do the snowboard at japan , this time is really good , the price is cheap but had a beautiful view , you have to go here when u have a time ,trust me.

Very crowded on weekends. It seems that they have very cheap tickets for high school & college kids, so they probably make up 90% of the visitors. You could spend more time waiting in lines than actual skiing/snowboarding. The ticket line took almost 30 mins. The gondola queue also took almost 1 hour, and even longer in the morning. The lowest/main lifts also took about 20-30 mins of waiting in line. The rental at the ski center is very small & not really able to handle the crowd. They just make you to pick your own wear, boots, board and line up carrying everything for 1 hour in a cramped space in order to check them out. Probably best to get rental from the shops just outside the ski center.

My first winter trip here was awesome. View is great. Good for beginner. There is group and private ski class with rentals. Food inside resort is affordable and delicious. Open from 7am to 10pm.

Waist deep powder snow. Great for all levels. Lessons available. The lift placement is well thought out. Though they often have some lifts closed for seemingly no reason... Not crowded. Staff at the rental shop we're very unhelpful though. I was disappointed by that..

One of my favorite resorts in Yuzawa. Lots of off piste riding to be found as well as varied ungroomed courses. Good terrain park, cheap tickets not too crowded. Also they have 500 yen nighters! If you need accomodations there are tons of hotels, inns nearby.

Quite an interesting spot. Well maintained. Interesting shops. Not 100% "観光地" feeling - it still has a sense of "生活感". Only need a few hours. Plan to see with other attractions in the area. Late afternoon might be nice when it gets quiet. Then head to an onsen nearby.

Looks like shops doesn’t open Come weekday and it’s so non lively Anyway the sweets shop at the intersection is really nice. The Strawberry mochi is really good and reasonable price

If you have time, you can come to enjoy the feeling of historical street. But not a place you really have to visit!

Atmosphere is old town. Shops were quiet.

This is a street on the old road between Gunma and Niigata that has been restored to give an impression of how it looked in the past. It was just a rundown postwar shopping street, so it is definitely improved … also many of the old shops moved into the new buildings. That's why although there are some tourist-oriented shops like cafe, ramen, sake brewery shop, and souvenirs, it's not really super touristy. People looking for something to 'do' may be disappointed, but I found it nice to spend an hour wandering around.

A lovely street with so many Japanese house and nice coffee and ramen

Tourism street with old looking buildings. It was very quiet.

Great experience.. It's better to have hiking gear with you, especially if it's your first time

Superb downhill course from top to bottom. Recommend to check it out on a sunny day, the stunning view will surely print in your memory!

Not crowded ski resort with maybe not wide variety of slopes, but it was enough for me. Great deal with JR package: shinkansen + local train round trip with a full day ski pass, 50% discount for rentals only for 12000 ¥.

Recommended by a snowboard instructor in Mitsumata as a go-to place when the weather is bad in Kagura. It was pretty nice and not crowded at all (Sunday today). Just wish that the ropeway was a gondola instead because they let way too many people on during busy periods (there are temperature checks and need to wear a mask or face covers and can't talk). Also, the lifts are very slow. But once you get up to the top, you can enjoy a long run to the bottom.

Nothing attractive about this place: difficult to access by public transport (i.e. 3-4 buses a day from the closest train station, 10 km away), I would say it is not beginner friendly, as there are few slopes, gondola was quite crowed in the weekend. The worst part: they asked us to wear masks and refrain from talking (What?) In the gondola.

Amazing view.. breath taking

Sadly the snow started after our third day there (Dec 31), so weren't able to try anything besides making some snowmen and sledding.

I was surprised to find this statue, since it has a snow avoid loof. Kakuei Tanaka was so loved by people in Urasa

(Translated by Google) On Sunday, August 18, 2024, I visited the bronze statue of Kakuei Tanaka in front of the Shinkansen station in Uonuma City, Niigata Prefecture. It is also the biggest post-war reconstruction effort, and I saw that there is a bronze statue of the man who made Japan resilient by implementing the Japan Resilience Plan, so I included it in this itinerary. Not only in Japan, but all over the world, and even He has made a great contribution to the Sino-Japanese friendship, and I think his contribution to Niigata Prefecture is truly wonderful😃. When you come to my prefecture, you realize how wonderful the railways and roads are. Then, Joetsu Shinkansen, Hokuriku Expressway, I think the Kanetsu Expressway is wonderful😃. I think he was an excellent politician who steadily built regional infrastructure and created an environment that was easy for his juniors to operate. Sometimes you need someone with strong arms😃 (Original) 新潟県魚沼市　新幹線の停車駅でもある、駅前の、田中角栄さんの銅像を、2024年08月18日(日)に訪れました。 戦後最大の復興でもあります、日本強靭化計画を実行されて、日本の強靭化を成し遂げたかたの銅像があると、拝見しまして、今回の旅程に組み入れました🎵 日本だけでなく、世界中、更には 中日友好親善にも、多大な貢献をされていますが、新潟県への貢献は、本当に素晴らしい😃と思います。 私の県から流行に来ますと、鉄道や道路の素晴らしさに実感があります。そして、上越新幹線に北陸道、 関越道、まあ素晴らしい😃と思います。 地域インフラを確実に作り上げて、後輩が運用しやすい環境を整える、なかなか素晴らしい政治家だったと思います。 たまには、豪腕なかたも必要です😃

(Translated by Google) Urasa Station in winter. I think he was a true politician who worked hard to bring the Shinkansen to this area. These days, there are too many politicians and government bureaucrats who only care about their own interests, such as vested interests and slush funds. This is what I felt after seeing the snowy Echigo and Uonuma areas, and also seeing the phantom Platform 10 in Nagaoka. In his later years, he was treated as a criminal due to the instigation of prosecutors and the media, but I think it is no exaggeration to say that it was thanks to this man that the Shinkansen network was built all over the country. Urasa Station felt a little lonely, but I feel like it would be nice for more people to visit Echigo in winter. (Original) 冬の浦佐駅。この地に新幹線をと、奔走した本物の政治家だと思います。最近では、利権や裏金など自分たちの利益しか頭にない政治家が、政府官僚が多すぎます。 この雪深い越後、魚沼周辺を見て、長岡の幻の１０番ホームも見て、感じた事です。 検察やメディアの煽りによって、晩年は犯罪者として扱われましたが、こうして全国に新幹線網ができたのも、この人のおかげと言っても過言ではないと思いました。 浦佐駅は、ちょっと寂しい感じがしましたが、冬の越後にはもっと人が訪れてもいい気がします。

(Translated by Google) Our company's branch is in Ojiya, and when I go on a business trip I always get off the Shinkansen at Urasa and change to the Joetsu line. While I'm waiting I wander around the area of ​​the station and do some shopping at the supermarket. One day, as I was walking towards the station from the convenience store in front of the station, I saw a big statue right in front of me, and when I looked closer I wondered who it represented, and it was actually former Prime Minister Tanaka Kakuei. I thought Kakuei might have been from around here, but it turns out I was completely wrong. So I wondered why there was a statue of Kakuei here. I thought about it, but the only thing I can think of is that they invited the station here 🙂 I think that's probably what it was 🫡 Well, Kakuei-san is a hero in Niigata Prefecture after all 😮But even so, Kakuei-san's speed and ability to make decisions was outstanding 🤗 I wish the current politicians would bite his toenails to see how indecisive they are 😮It would be a waste to make a decoction of the dirt under their toenails and drink it 🤣 He was caught up in the false charges of the Lockheed scandal, but I wish he would have built a long-term government for the sake of Japan's future 🙂 (Original) 我社の支店が小千谷にあり、出張の時はいつも浦佐で新幹線を降り、上越線に乗り換えて行くんだけど、時間待ちの間駅周辺をぶらぶらして、スーパーで買い物をしたりして過ごしているんだよね😀ある日、駅前のコンビニから駅に向かって歩いていると、目の前に大きな像が見えたので、誰の像なのかなぁと思い見てみると、何と田中角栄元首相ではありませんか😮角栄さんは、この辺りの出身だったのかと思いきや、全然違うんだよね😯それじゃ何でここに角栄さんの像があるのかなぁと考えたんだけど、ここに駅を誘致したとしか考えられないんだよなぁ🙂多分そういうことだと思うなぁ🫡 まぁ、角栄さんと言えば、新潟県の英雄だもんなぁ😮それにしても、角栄さんの決断力の速さや即決力は、群を抜いていたよなぁ🤗今の政治家連中の決断力の無さには、角栄さんの足の爪でも噛んでもらいたいもんだよなぁ😮爪の垢を煎じて飲むんじゃ、勿体ないよ🤣 ロッキード事件という冤罪に巻き込まれてしまったけど、日本の将来のためにも、長期政権を築いて欲しかったなぁ🙂

(Translated by Google) I've been going to Uonuma in the winter for about 20 years, but this is the first time I've seen one up close. This is the only place in Niigata Prefecture where there is a bronze statue of Kakuei. In response to petitions from local people, a Shinkansen station was built in Urasa, which had not been planned, and he was known as ``the man who stopped the Shinkansen'', and water came out not only on the main roads in the prefecture but also on small roads and melted the snow. He is a person who has done so much for Niigata that I can't even mention it enough, such as installing the pipes. To people from a certain age onwards, some people may call it God. At any moment, I feel like I can hear "Yo!" and "Ano..." in that sloppy voice. (Original) 昔２０年間くらい冬の魚沼に通っていましたが近くでちゃんと見るのは初めてです。新潟県内で唯一「角栄」の銅像がある場所です。地元の方たちの陳情を受け予定になかった浦佐に新幹線の駅を造り「新幹線を停めた男」と言われたことや県内の幹線道路はもちろん細部にわたる道路に水が出て雪を解かす管を設置したなど書ききれないくらい新潟のために尽くした人です。ある年代から上の人たちからすると神という人もいます。今にもあのだみ声で「ようっ！」とか「あの～」とか聞こえてきそうです。

(Translated by Google) There is probably no other more suitable place to install a bronze statue of Kakuei Tanaka (lol). This is because Urasa Station on the Joetsu Shinkansen, which towers in the background, is said to be a ``political station'' that would not exist without his efforts. A "political station" is a station that is built based on the wishes of local politicians, disregarding profitability and convenience. This station, which was built in the former Niigata 3rd ward, which was Mr. Kakuei's election base, will have an average daily ridership of only 1,290 people in 2023, the lowest number of passengers among Joetsu Shinkansen stations. Although the station is pointlessly spacious and magnificent, there is not even a shop on the platform (see photo), and the interior is sparse, so it is often referred to as an ``active ruin station'' by railroad and ruin-related YouTubers. If you come here, I highly recommend that you also visit the station as a set (lol). Now, this bronze statue has one very interesting feature, have you noticed something strange about it? That's right, I don't think the statue feels hot or cold (lol), but for some reason there is a snow guard installed. Apparently, her daughter, Makiko Tanaka, later installed an additional one because she couldn't stand the sight of her father buried in the snow. When you hear all this, it seems like a beautiful story, but even though volunteers put in the money to make it happen, it seems like the local voters are not paying enough attention to the Tanaka family's debt of gratitude. ?” It can also be interpreted as saying. If that's the case, that's pretty rude. Makiko, who was raised as a princess, may have taken it for granted that people would support her, unlike Kakuei, who was a master of ``heart-to-heart''. However, the day finally came when the anger of the local people exploded at Makiko, who ignored the wishes of the supporters' association and often acted recklessly. Makiko was defeated in the 2012 general election for the House of Representatives as the incumbent Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in the Democratic Party of Japan. It is a crushing defeat that does not allow for a revival under the proportional representation quota. In the first place, local voters are not ``vassals,'' and I think Mr. Kakuei would have understood that tension. Each bronze statue has a different history and story, so it was interesting to research it (lol). (Original) 田中角栄氏の銅像を設置するにあたって、ここより相応しい場所は他にはないでしょうね(笑)。 なぜなら背後にそびえる上越新幹線 浦佐駅は、氏の尽力無くしては存在し得なかった「政治駅」とされているからです。 「政治駅」とは収益性や利便性を度外視して地元政治家の思惑で設置される駅のことです。角栄氏の選挙地盤であった旧新潟3区に建設されたこの駅は、1日平均乗車人数が2023年度で1290人に過ぎず、これは上越新幹線の駅のなかでは最小の人数です。 駅が無意味に広くて立派なのに、ホーム内には売店すら無く(写真参照)構内がスカスカなので、鉄道系・廃墟系ユーチューバーからは「現役の廃墟駅」としてよく取り上げられます。ここに来たら、ぜひセットで駅も訪問する事をオススメします(笑)。 さてこの銅像は非常に面白い特徴が一つあります、皆様は違和感に気付かれたでしょうか。 そうです、銅像は暑さも寒さも感じないとは思うのですが(笑) 何故か雪除けが設置されているのです。 なんでも息女の田中真紀子氏が、後日「父が雪に埋もれる姿に耐えられない」として追加で設置したのだそうです。 これだけ聞くと美談のようにも見えますが、せっかく有志の人たちが金銭を出しあって作ってくれたのに「地元有権者は田中家の恩義に対して、少し配慮が足りないのではないか？」と言っているようにも受け取れます。だとしたら、かなり失礼な話です。 お姫様として育てられた真紀子氏は、「心くばり」の達人だった角栄氏と異なり、自分への支持など当然と思っていたのかもしれません。しかし後援会の意向を無視し傍若無人な言動が多い真紀子氏に、ついに地元民の怒りが爆発する日がやって来ました。 民主党政権の現職文部科学大臣として臨んだ2012年の衆議院議員総選挙において、真紀子氏は落選しました。それも比例代表枠での復活も許されない大惨敗です。 そもそも地元有権者は「家来」ではないのです、角栄氏なら、その緊張感が分かっていたと思うのですが・・・。 銅像一つにも、さまざまな歴史や物語があって調べていて面白かったです(笑)。

(Translated by Google) [The late Mr. Kakuei Tanaka] Attentive, considerate, considerate, and behave in a manner that is respectful and respectful. A person with an outstanding sense of balance. For better or worse, he was a great politician of the Showa era. After this person... There will be no politician better than Mr. Kakuei. Dignity and measure. In these days of distrust of politics, I think today's politicians have a lot to learn from their willingness to make any effort or ingenuity to make things go according to their ideals. I believe that he has left many legends behind with his decisiveness and ability to execute. Mr. Kakuei Tanaka was a unique person who had a great influence on Japan, not only as the prime minister, but also as a person m(_ _)m "Interesting episode" ``I could get from my home in Mejiro, Tokyo at the time to my parents' house in Niigata with just three turns.'' After leaving the Tanaka residence, drive along Mejiro Street for about 10 minutes, then turn once onto the Kanetsu Expressway. After passing through Mikuni Pass and getting off at the Nishiyama Interchange in Niigata Prefecture, turn and turn again. I actually only made three turns during the 220km journey to my parents' house in Niigata! Or so 😅 “Mejiro Pilgrimage” Mr. Kakuei always said, ``Politics is numbers, and numbers are power. And power is money.'' This means that money and power are the means to answering the demands of the electorate. At that time, as many as 400 people visited Kakuei's home in Mejiro, Tokyo every day to ask for a favor. For the local people of Niigata, it seems that the standard itinerary is to enjoy sightseeing in Tokyo by bus and then visit Tanaka's residence in Mejiro. Kakuei was said to have made sure to respond to these petitions. He was a person who was able to give Mr. Kakuei his own kind of consideration, ``even if the result wasn't what the other person wanted, I wanted them to feel like I was listening to them.'' Mr. Kakuei, who always answered ``I can do it'' or ``I can't do it'' on the spot, took about 5 minutes to respond to each request💦 And after 400 petitions were completed, Mr. Kakuei himself decided the order of the petitions and took a commemorative photo at the end.There is a heartwarming story that remains. Mr. Kakuei is so special that a bronze statue stands here. When he returned to Niigata, many supporters had gathered in front of the station. Apparently he remembers people's names and converses with them. I think this memorization technique can be called ``the technique of grasping people's hearts.'' ``Demonstrates excellent ability to control people's hearts even when arrested'' 1976 (Showa 51). In an unprecedented situation, a former Prime Minister was arrested in connection with the Lockheed incident. Kakuei, who disappeared from the media after his arrest, was interviewed by Soichiro Tahara five years later. Mr. Tahara, who said that this interview inspired him to become a political journalist, said, ``His ability to think and take action is amazing.There is no one else like him.Of all the politicians I have ever met, Kakuei Tanaka is without a doubt the most amazing!'' [How to control people's hearts, Part 1] Mr. Kakuei, who placed the most importance on the funeral, said, ``It's okay to be late for the celebration, but be the first to rush to the funeral.It's important to be there for people when they are sad.'' He rushed to the funeral parlor first, openly weeping, and mourned the deceased. A week after the funeral, new flowers were given to the deceased, saying, ``When the flowers wither, the grief of the bereaved family increases.'' [How to control people's hearts, part 2] Mr. Kakuei, who is famous for his skill in using bureaucrats, also had the skills to win over bureaucrats to his side in order to make things run smoothly. For all civil servants at section manager level and above, we track not only their own birthdays and wedding anniversaries, but also their children's birthdays. It seems that he always gave gifts and built a relationship of trust. Furthermore, these words captivated proud bureaucrats. "I'll give the credit to them, and I'll take the blame. Don't show favoritism or criticize them by name. When you scold them, use the word 'sashi'. When you want to praise them, do it in front of the crowd!" As expected m(_ _)m [How to control people's hearts, part 3] The reason why the Tanaka faction, which at one time had 140 members, boasted an iron bond was due to money and status. It is said that Mr. Kakuei gave millions of yen per year to all the members of the Tanaka faction. This is what he said about his political philosophy: "The world is not all black and white. It is not all friends and enemies. There is a gray zone in the middle, and that is the widest one. You will never be able to gain control of the world if you do not master this gray zone!" Mr. Kakuei was loved by people of all ages for his personality, which was both ``pure and cloudy''. At that time, there were apparently many people in Japan who imitated Kakuei's favorite phrase, ``Maasono,'' in a fake voice. I don't think there will ever be another Prime Minister who makes me feel so close to him. Phew~(^o^; I worked hard from books I had and articles on the internet. Was this helpful to you? (Original) 【故 田中角栄 氏】 気配り気遣い思いやり、人の道と義理人情の立ち振舞い。それらのバランス感覚がずば抜けた人。良くも悪くも昭和の大政治家。この人以降…  角栄さんを超える政治家はいないでしょう。威厳と度量。物事を自分の理想の通り進めるためにどんな努力や工夫もいとわない姿勢は、政治不信の昨今、今どきの政治家は見習うべきコトがたくさんあるのではないでしょうか。 そして、決断力と実行力を武器に数々の伝説を残していると思います。 総理大臣としてだけではなく、人物そのものが日本に多大なる影響を与えた唯一無二の存在だった田中角栄さんm(_ _)m 『面白いエピソード』 「当時の東京・目白の自宅から新潟の実家までは３回曲がるだけで着ける」 田中邸を出発し、目白通りを走って10分ほどのところで1回曲がり関越自動車道へ。三国峠を抜けて新潟県の西山インターで降りたら曲がってもう一度曲がる。 なんと新潟の実家までの220kmまでの間に曲がったのは、本当に3回だけ！とか😅 『目白詣で』 角栄さんは常々「政治は数、数は力だ。そして力は金だ」と言っていました。これは、金と力は有権者の要求に答えるための手段だと。 当時、連日400人もの人たちが角栄さんに頼みごとをするために東京・目白の自宅を訪れていました。地元・新潟の人たちにとっては、バスで東京観光を楽しんだ後で、目白の田中邸を訪れるというコースが定番だったようです。角栄さんはその陳情に必ず返事を出すことを心がけていたとか。 そこには、「結果が相手の希望通りでなかったとしても、《聞いてくれた》と思ってもらえるように」という角栄さんなりの配慮を演出できる人でした。必ず「できる」「できない」をその場で、判断して返事をしていた角栄さんが１件にかける時間はおよそ5分とか💦  そして400件の陳情が終わると、最後に角栄さん自らが並び順を決めて記念撮影をしていたという暖かいエピソードが残っています。 ココに銅像が立つほど特別な存在である角栄さん。新潟に帰ると、駅前にたくさんの後援者が集まって来たのだそうです。彼はその人たちの名前をちゃんと覚えていて会話するのだとか。その記憶術は「人心掌握術」とも言えると思います。 『逮捕されても優れた「人心掌握力」を発揮』 1976年（昭和51年）。ロッキード事件で元総理大臣が逮捕されるという前代未聞の事態に。逮捕されメディアから姿を消した角栄さんは、5年後、田原総一郎さんのインタビューに応じていました。このインタビューがきっかけで政治ジャーナリストへの道へ進んだという田原さんは、「構想力、行動力はすごいです。他に誰もいません。僕が今まであった政治家の中で、田中角栄が文句なしに一番すごいです！」と語っています。 【人心掌握術　その１】冠婚葬祭で「葬儀」を最も重視していた角栄さんは、「祝い事は遅れてもいい。ただし葬式には真っ先に駆けつけろ。人が悲しんでいる時に寄り添ってやることが大事なんだ」といい、葬儀場に真っ先に駆けつけて人目もはばからず涙し、故人を偲びました。葬儀から1週間が過ぎたころには、「花が枯れるころ、遺族の悲しみが募るもんだ」といい、新しい花を贈っていたそうですよ。 【人心掌握術　その２】官僚の使い方が上手だと有名な角栄さんは、スムーズに事を進めるために官僚を味方につける術も備えていました。課長以上の全公務員に対して、本人の誕生日や結婚記念日はもちろん、子どもの誕生日も把握。必ずプレゼントを贈って信頼関係を築いていたそうです。さらに、こんな言葉がプライドの高い官僚たちを虜にしていました。「手柄は連中に与えて"ドロ"は俺がかぶる。えこひいきせず名指しで批判しない。叱るときは"サシ"でやる。褒めるときは大勢の前で褒めるんだ！」 さすがですm(_ _)m 【人心掌握術　その３】多いときは140人が所属していた「田中派」が鉄の結束を誇っていた理由は「金」と「地位」にだとか。角栄さんは「田中派」の議員全員に、年間ひとり当たり数百万円を渡していたといいます(@ @) しかも何回か当選すると必ず大臣の地位を与える手腕でした。 そして彼は、自らの政治哲学についてこう語っていました。「世の中は白と黒ばかりではない。敵と味方ばかりでもない。真ん中にグレーゾーンがあり、そこが一番広い。天下というものは、このグレーゾーンを身につけなければ決して取れないのだ！」と。 「清濁」を併せ呑む人柄で幅広い年代から愛された角栄さん。当時、角栄の口癖だった「まぁそのぉ」をダミ声でモノマネする人が日本中にたくさん居たのだそうです。ココまでの親近感を感じさせてくれる総理大臣はこれからも二度と出てこないでしょうね😽 ふうぅ〜(^o^; 持ってる本やネットの記事から頑張りました。 みなさまの参考になりましたでしょうか?

It's a big snow resort. With all the levels from beginner to advance beginner, intermediate and advanced.. Nice place.. recommended

Good resort for first time skiing for kids, has a snow elevator to make repeat trips easy for them. Also a sledding area. The main runs are good for beginner and intermediate snowboarding or skiing.

It's OK! A very small resort, maybe good if you are a beginner or a child and don't need many runs. There's a magic carpet lift for small children to the top of the sledge area(Need a ticket) . The restaurant served good meals quickly. The staff were polite and helpful. The line for the ticket office was more than a half hour wait at 10.30am.

It’s a good place for beginners and kids. Kids can enjoy playing snow sleds for free except paying 1000 for the escalator.

Free shuttle bus from Muikamachi station, special space for kids

Not suitable for ski new learner

Great for boarding and kiddos.

(Translated by Google) I visited there because I heard there was a large Katsura tree. The temple is located on a somewhat high place, and you can clearly see the Katsura tree from the gate. It's definitely a big tree. When you approach it by climbing up the stone steps, it is a mysterious large tree that looks like multiple trees fused together. The stone monument says 2,000 years ago, but I don't think that much time has passed. However, it must have continued to stand for hundreds of years, overlooking the mountain village of Echigo. It made me feel the flow of eternal time. Also, the leaves of the Katsura tree are heart-shaped. It's a nice big tree. (Original) 桂の木の大木があるというので訪問しました。お寺はやや高いところにあり、門から桂の木はよく見えます。たしかに大きな木ですね。石段を上って近づくと複数の木が合体したような不思議な大木です。石碑には二千年とありますが、さすがにそれほどは経過してはいないでしょう。でも、数百年は立ち続けて越後の山里を見下ろしていたのでしょうね。悠久の時の流れを感じさせてもらいました。また桂の木の葉はハート形ですね。素敵な大木ですね。

(Translated by Google) There was still snow so I couldn't climb the stairs so I had to drive to the top. Okatatsura looks like it is protected by a Jizo statue. Gomado also had a great atmosphere. (Original) 雪が残っていたので階段は登れずクルマで上まで。 お地蔵さんが護っているかの様な大桂。 護摩堂も雰囲気ありました。

(Translated by Google) This is an old temple of the Chizan school of the Shingon sect, said to have been founded by Zenju in 1045. It is known that Burmese Prime Minister Ba Maw defected to Japan in August 1945 and was sheltered at this temple by the 77th chief priest, Katsutsu Tsuchida. The main hall was rebuilt in 1783, and the precincts also have a nice rustic feel. There is still a new Fukujudo in the north, and is it Daikokuten? was enshrined. Above all, the Katsura tree, which is said to be 2,000 years old (some say 250 years old, some say 400 years old), is famous and wonderful. There is a monument in the precincts that is said to be the best in Japan, but it has not been certified. There is no doubt that it is the best in Niigata Prefecture. Apparently there are paintings by Tsuguharu Fujita and Millet in the treasure hall, but unfortunately it seems to be closed at the moment. (Original) 1045年、善寿の創立といわれる真言宗智山派の古刹。 1945年8月にビルマの首相バー・モウが日本に亡命し、第77世住職土田覚常により当寺に匿われたことで知られています。 本堂は1783年に再建されたもので境内とも鄙びた感じが良いです。 北の方にはまだ新しい福授堂があり大黒天？が祀られていました。 何よりも樹齢2千年（250年説、400年説あり）とも言われる桂の木が有名ですばらしいです。境内には日本一なる碑がありますが認定されてません。新潟県一番は間違いないそうですが。 宝物殿には藤田嗣治やミレーの絵画もあるそうですが現在閉館中みたいで残念。

(Translated by Google) Rurikozan Yakusho-ji Temple is a temple of the Chizan school of Shingon Buddhism and is the first temple of the Echigo Yakushi Pilgrimage. The principal image of Yakusho-ji Temple is Yakushi Nyorai. It is said to have been founded in 1045 by the monk Zenju, but temple legend has it that in 1780, a bird carrying a lit candle from a visitor dropped it onto the tiled roof of the main hall, causing the temple to burn down. The temple has suffered two fires and all ancient records have been lost, so the details are unknown. The current main hall was subsequently built in 1783. From the end of the Edo period to the early Meiji period, the seventh head priest of Yakusho-ji Temple, Osaki Gyochi, greatly promoted the temple's fortunes. It is said that immediately after World War II, Prime Minister Ba Maw of Burma (now Myanmar) went into exile and, with the help of volunteers, hid at Yakushoji Temple until 1946. In December of that year, he turned himself in to the Allied occupation forces and was subsequently pardoned and returned to Japan. (Original) 瑠璃光山薬照寺といい真言宗智山派のお寺で越後薬師霊場一番札所になります。 薬照寺の御本尊は薬師如来になります。 寛徳二年(1045年)に僧善寿の創建と伝わりますが、寺伝によると安永九年(1780年)に参詣に来た人の蝋燭の火をくわえた鳥が本堂の瓦葺屋根に落として寺が焼失したと伝わる。 寺は二度の火災にあい古記悉く焼失していて詳細は不明で、その後の天明三年(1783年)に現在の本堂を建立しています。 幕末から明治初期にかけ薬照寺第七代大崎行智和尚が大いに寺運を開いている。 第二次世界大戦直後にビルマ(現ミャンマー)のバー・モウ首相が亡命し有志の助けで昭和二十一年(1946年)まで薬照寺に身を隠していたと伝わり、その年の十二月に自ら連合国の占領軍に出頭しその後特赦されて帰国しています。

(Translated by Google) When I went without an appointment to tour the Echigo Yakushi Sacred Site, the chief priest was just about to leave (lol). I was told, ``Please take a look while I write the goshuin,'' so I went inside and was completely surprised by the materials on display. It was my first time to see the real head of a head hunter. Is this also related to Ba Maw? I wanted to take a leisurely tour, but I thought the chief priest was going out, so I thanked him and left immediately. I was very impressed by the view from the temple grounds and the Katsura tree, which is said to be 2000 years old. Once the coronavirus subsides, I would like to study Burma a little more and then make a reservation and visit. (Original) 越後薬師霊場巡りの為アポなしで行くと、ご住職はちょうどお出かけになるところでした（汗）。「御朱印を書いている間、見学してください」と言われて奥に入って、展示資料に超絶びっくり。首狩り族の首、本物は初めて見ました。これもバー・モウがらみでしょうか？ゆっくり見学したかったのですが、ご住職がお出かけになることを考え、お礼を言ってすぐ出ました。境内から見る景色、樹齢2000年と言われる桂の木、とても感動しました。 コロナが収束したら、もう少しビルマのことを勉強した後で、予約をして訪れたいと思います。

(Translated by Google) The highlight is Okatsura, the largest in Japan. It was so big that you could see its size even when looking up from the parking lot. There was no one there on weekdays, so I was able to watch it at my leisure. (Original) 日本一の大桂が見どころです。 駐車場から見上げてもその大きさが分かるほど、本当に大きな大桂でした。 平日は誰もいなくて、ゆっくりと見れました。

(Translated by Google) When I want to take a breather or be healed while traveling, I look for giant trees. The fourth giant tree I saw on my trip to Niigata Prefecture during the Golden Week was the ``Great Katsura of Yakushoji Temple''. The age of the tree varies (220 years, 250 years, 300 years, 400 years, 2,000 years) depending on the giant tree site, tourism association site, Ministry of the Environment site, wiki, etc., but it is magnificent. I don't care about the age of the tree, as there is no basis for it. I focus on whether or not I feel overwhelmed when I see something in front of me. There are JR railroad tracks behind the temple grounds, and the endless straight tracks are a great photo spot. Please do not enter the railroad tracks. (Original) 旅先でひと息つきたいとき、癒されたいときに巨木を探します。 GW新潟県への旅の中で4本目の巨木は、『薬照寺の大カツラ』。 巨木サイト、観光協会サイト、環境省サイト、wikiなどで樹齢はさまざま（220年、250年、300年、400年、2,000年）ですが、立派です。樹齢なんぞ言ったもの勝ちなところがあり、根拠はだいたい存在しないので、気にしません。私は目の前にして圧倒されるかどうかを重視しています。 境内の裏手にはJRの線路があり、どこまでも続く真っ直ぐな線路はフォトスポットになるのでオススメです。 線路内には立ち入らないようにしましょう。

(Translated by Google) It's a memorial museum to Makiyuki Suzuki, who wrote about life in a snowy country during the Edo period, but I wasn't familiar with it and wasn't interested in it, so I didn't go inside. Makiyuki's book is called Hokuetsu Seppu. There is a free tourist parking lot in front of the building, and the restrooms are clean. (Original) 江戸時代に雪国の暮らしを書いた鈴木牧之（ぼくし）の記念館ですが、馴染みがなく興味が湧かなかったので、入りませんでした。 牧之の本は、北越雪譜と言うそうです。 館前には無料観光駐車場が整備され、トイレもきれいです。

(Translated by Google) A record of Makiyuki Suzuki's life is recorded here. You can see that it was very difficult to publish the Hokuetsu Seppu. Along the way, I also learned that the famous Bakin Takizawa was harassing me. (Original) 鈴木牧之の生涯の記録が記されています。その中で、北越雪譜を出版することに非常に苦労したことがわかります。途中で有名な滝澤馬琴が嫌がらせをしていたこともよくわかりました。

(Translated by Google) I'm glad I was able to learn a lot about Professor Makiyuki Suzuki from the Edo period. It is a two-story building, and on the second floor you can learn about Echigo's supernatural phenomena and Shiozawa's textile products. Photography is prohibited inside. (Original) 江戸時代の鈴木牧之先生をたっぷりしのべて良かった。２階建てで、２階では越後の怪異や塩沢の繊維製品について学べます。 内部は撮影禁止です。

(Translated by Google) It's about a 10 minute walk from Shiozawa Station on the JR Joetsu Line. There is a large parking space nearby that can also park large tour buses. This is a memorial museum to Makiyuki Suzuki, the author of ``Hokuetseppu,'' a book about life in a snowy country during the Edo period. (Original) JR上越線「塩沢駅」から徒歩約10分くらいですね。近くに大型観光バスも停められる大きな駐車スペースがあります。江戸時代に雪国の暮らしを書いた『北越雪譜（ほくえつせっぷ）』の著者「鈴木牧之」さんの記念館です。

(Translated by Google) This is a memorial hall for Makiyuki Suzuki, the author of ``Hokuetsu Seppu,'' a writer and merchant during the Edo period. The first edition of the ``Hokuetsu Snow Book'' is also on display inside the museum. Many exhibits allow you to learn about the life and culture of the snowy country of Shiozawa. There is a free parking lot in front of the memorial hall, where you can park your car and stroll around Shiozawa town. Makiyuki Suzuki's birthplace and grave are also nearby. By the way, photography is prohibited inside the Suzuki Makiyuki Memorial Museum. In his book ``Hokuetsu Snow Records'', Makiyuki Suzuki wrote that Shiozawa is the place where the snow falls the deepest in Japan. When I visited in January 2020, there was no snow at all. This year was a record light snowfall that only happens once every 50 years. (Original) 「北越雪譜」の著者で江戸時代の文人で商人でもあった鈴木牧之の記念館。館内は「北越雪譜」の初版本も展示されている。多くは塩沢の雪国の生活や文化を知ることができる展示品が並ぶ。 記念館の前には無料の駐車場があり、ここに車を停めて塩沢の町を散策できる。 すぐ近くには鈴木牧之の生家やお墓もある。 ちなみに鈴木牧之記念館の館内は撮影禁止。 鈴木牧之は「北越雪譜」のなかで、塩沢は日本一雪が深く降る所と書いている。 2020年の1月に訪れた時には雪は全く無かった。この年は50年に一度あるかないかの記録的小雪であった。

(Translated by Google) This memorial museum conveys the hardships of Makiyuki Suzuki, who did not give up publishing the Hokuetsu Seppu and tried to share it with the world, and his love for Shiozawa. The office staff is very kind and it's a great place to learn. (Original) 北越雪譜の出版をあきらめず世に発信しようとした鈴木牧之の苦難と塩沢を愛する気持ちが伝わる記念館でした。事務の方もとても親切に対応していただき、気分良い学びのスポットです。

(Translated by Google) I went to pray there for the first time. The weather ☀️ was nice, so I arrived at the shrine ⛩️ around 1pm and prayed. When I went to the dragon's roar 🐉 and clapped my hands, I felt the sound change, and I also felt a strong wind suddenly blowing even though there hadn't been any wind up until then. It's a mysterious place. (Original) 初めて参拝へ行って来ました。 天気☀️も良く13時頃に神社⛩️に着き参拝しました。 龍鳴🐉の所へ行きかしわ手を打つと響き方が違うのを感じましたし、今まで風が吹いてなかったのに急に強い風が吹いて来たのも感じることができました。不思議な場所です。

(Translated by Google) I visited the shrine before visiting the shrine, but it didn't seem like anyone was there.It was like this the second time, but the stateliness of the shrine office is very impressive. I'm planning my third visit, hoping to meet someone at all costs. I visited here thinking that I would get the goshuin stamp here, but you can get it at Hakkaisanson Shrine. (Original) 神社参拝の前に伺いましたがどなたかいそうでいない、2回目もこんな感じでしたが社務所の重厚さはとても印象的です。なんとしてもどなたかにお目にかかりたいと思いながら3回目を計画中です。 御朱印はここでいただくものと思いながらの訪問でしたが八海山尊神社でいただけます。

(Translated by Google) When I went to the shrine office to get my goshuin, I saw a beautiful flower arrangement at the entrance. On this day, while the snow remained, we enjoyed the scenery of cherry blossoms blooming along the way. (Original) 御朱印を頂きに社務所へ伺ったら、玄関の生け花が素敵でした。 この日は雪が残る中、桜が咲いて居る景色を道中楽しめました。

(Translated by Google) After visiting the mountain, I went to get a stamp. They responded very politely. thank you. Since it was spring, the cherry blossoms in the garden were beautiful, and I was looking at them the whole time I was waiting. Personally, I liked the quiet appearance of the entrance. (Original) 山のほうにお参りした後、御朱印を頂きに。 とても丁寧にご対応いただけました。ありがとうございます。 ちょうど春だったので庭先の桜の花が見事で、待っている間ずっと眺めていました。 個人的には玄関先の静かな佇まいも良かったです…。

(Translated by Google) It is far away from Hakkaisanson Shrine. It was once a lodging place for worshipers, and winter rituals are held here. The reception desk for prayers and the goshuin stamp are also here. (Original) 八海山尊神社からは離れています。 かつて登拝者の宿坊であり、冬季の神事をこちらで行うとのこと。 御祈祷の受付、御朱印もこちらのようです。

(Translated by Google) It was a shrine where there is a big fire walking festival every year, so the atmosphere was quite solemn⛩️. (Original) 毎年火渡りの大祭の有る神社でなかなか厳かな⛩️雰囲気でした。

(Translated by Google) My great-grandfather trained at Hakkaisan, and the shrine gave him a sacred object, which he took from the family and made into a branch family. My great-grandfather was a Shinto priest at his family home, and since my grandfather passed away, there is no successor, so the family is currently closed. I left my hometown to get married, but I am very happy to receive reviews from you all. When my grandfather was still active, my family and I would visit the shrine every year from late August to early September, also for family business matters. Due to the nature of our work, we avoided visiting during busy periods, so I will post about things other than events. Safe childbirth, Shichigosan, unlucky years, illness, prayers for success, happy marriage... there are many things that we cannot avoid on the journey of a long life. When you are troubled or sick, when you are at a crossroads in life... Visiting the shrine surrounded by pure air will allow you to reaffirm the vitality of human beings! You will be able to become one with nature and discover your true self and hints for life. The priest, head priest, and other related personnel are calm and collected and listen carefully to what you have to say. Because you can come into contact with nature, it can be enjoyed by people living in big cities, as well as by people of other religions, as long as they respect nature. There is also a gondola station a short drive from the shrine. It is also recommended as a base for those who want to see the mountain scenery. For lunch, please use the nearby soba restaurant. Due to the mountain climate, we recommend visiting from Golden Week to early October. It is not a well-known shrine that is featured in the media, but it is a quiet and relaxing space. You can get away from your busy daily life and become one with nature both in body and mind, so please speak gently to the forests, flora and fauna of Mt. Onsen. I think you will feel refreshed when you return home. Don't be so tense because it's a sacred mountain, but rather come here with a relaxed attitude. Sorry for the long and disorganized post.

(Translated by Google) A spectacular view. However, the wind is strong and you have to walk on top of a steep cliff, so it is not recommended at all for people who are afraid of heights. If you want to take a forest bath, go to Osaki Dam. (Original) 中々の絶景。しかし風も強く、断崖絶壁の上を歩くので高所恐怖症の人には全くオススメ出来ない。森林浴をしたいなら大崎ダムへ。

(Translated by Google) Is it a recommended place during the fresh green season of early summer or the autumn leaves season? Unfortunately, there was little rain this year and no water was being sprayed. I think it would be fun to check it out as there are also internal tours available at different times. (Original) 初夏の新緑の時期や紅葉の時期にお勧めな場所ですかね。今年は雨が少なく放水を行っていなかったのが残念。 時間で内部見学ツアー等もあるようなので調べて行かれると楽しいと思います。

(Translated by Google) I think it would be beautiful if you go during the autumn leaves season. There is a road that allows you to go around Lake Rhododendron, but the road is narrow so you need to be careful. There were a lot of dragonflies flying around at this time of year, but there were also a lot of stink bugs flying around. When I looked closely at the fence, I saw that it was full of stink bugs, some of which flew onto my clothes, and I ran away! ! The dam was calm and beautiful. (Original) 紅葉の時期に行ったら綺麗だと思います。 しゃくなげ湖を周遊できる道路がありますが、道幅は狭めなので注意が必要です。 時期的にとんぼがたくさん飛んでいましたが、カメムシも大量に飛んでいました。 柵をよく見たらカメムシだらけで、服に飛んできたりして走って逃げました！！ ダムは穏やかで綺麗でした。

(Translated by Google) Mikunikawa Dam, not It is pronounced Sagrigawa Dam. You can tour inside the dam. The time is set, so check it out before you go. The entrance to the information center has smoke pasted on the glass, so you can't see inside, but you can enter until after 4 o'clock. There is a dumb card on the counter. The view is nice even if you don't go inside. (Original) ミクニカワダム、ではなく、 サグリガワダム、と読みます。 ダムの中の見学ができます。 時間が決まってるので調べてから行きましょう。 情報館の入り口はガラスにスモークが貼られていて中が見えないですが、四時過ぎまで入れます。 カウンターにダムカード置いてあります。 中に入れなくても景色は良いです。

(Translated by Google) There weren't many people around, so we were able to leisurely view the dam! There is a parking space next to the toilets, but it is quite steep, so I think it's better to park in the space at the back of the management office. (Original) 人が少なくのんびりダムを見ることができました！ トイレの横に駐車スペースがありますが、傾斜がすごいので、管理所の奥にあるスペースに停めるほうがいいと思います。

Awesome hike but a lot of mud. Slid many times on the way down

don’t forget sun cream for to protect our body parts from sun . It’s a such a Heaven place

(Translated by Google) As one of the 100 Famous Mountains, it can be climbed in a relatively short time at about 6km one way. It's a steep climb, but once you reach the ridge, a beautiful view awaits you. The evacuation hut has been renovated and the bio-toilet is quite clean. The restrooms at the Sakurazaka parking lot are also new and clean, and there is running water to wash your shoes, making this a recommended course. Since it is popular, it will fill up, so it is better to leave early. This parking lot costs 500 yen. You will be charged when you leave the parking lot. (Original) 百名山としては片道6kmくらいで比較的短時間でピストンできます。急登が続きますが、稜線に出れば美しい景色が待っています。避難小屋はリフォームされ、バイオトイレは結構キレイです。 また桜坂駐車場のトイレも新しくて清潔感があり、靴を洗う水道もありオススメのコースです。人気なので満車になるため、早めに出発した方がいいです。こちらの駐車場は有料で500円必要です。駐車場から出る時に請求されます。

(Translated by Google) It's apparently famous as a treasure trove of alpine plants. A variety of vibrant plants live around a beautiful pond It's like heaven. The flowers that bloom all at once with the arrival of summer are smiling at me along the path, as if asking me to take a look. I think hiking, slowly climbing and soothing the scenery and plants, is a source of nourishment for the soul. It was a beautiful mountain. (Original) 高山植物の宝庫として有名らしい。 素敵な池塘の周りにさまざまな植物が生き生きと暮らしている 正に天国のよう。 夏の訪れに一斉に咲いたお花は歩道に沿って 見てくださいと言わんばかりに私に微笑んでいるようだ。 ゆっくり登って景色や植物に癒されるハイキングは心の栄養源だと思う 美しい山だった。

(Translated by Google) I arrived at the Sakurazaka trailhead parking lot just before 6:00 AM, but it was full by then. However, there was a parking lot further back near the trailhead, where there was still plenty of space. ¥500 There are signs at every station, and from halfway up, a boardwalk is also provided, making the walk easy. There are no water sources along the way to the summit, so be sure to bring at least some drinking water. There is a drinking water tap at the parking lot exit. (Original) 桜坂登山口駐車場には午前６時前に到着したが駐車場は６時過ぎには満車となった。しかし、奥の登山口側にも駐車場があり、こちらはまだまだ余裕があるあった。¥500 一合目ごとに表示版があり途中からは木道も整備されていて歩きやすい。 山頂まで途中の水場は無いので、最低限の飲料水は必ず持つ必要がある。 駐車場出口に飲用可の水道あり。

(Translated by Google) Mt. Makihata is the best for those who like alpine marshes. I also recommend going to Mt. Ushigatake as well. When I went hiking in October, the weather was clear all the way up to Gunma Prefecture, but when I looked up at Mt. Tanigawa just before the Kanetsu Tunnel, I saw waterfall clouds flowing from the Niigata Prefecture side, and when I came out of the tunnel, Niigata Prefecture was covered in mist and drizzle. However, I put on my rain jacket and started walking in the drizzle, and as I passed through the forest, the mist thinned and the sunlight began to shine. I broke through the mist and looked back, and below was the most amazing sea of ​​clouds I have ever seen, and above was a magnificent view of autumn leaves. On this day, I also saw a rare white rainbow made of mist instead of raindrops. 👌 From here, it was a tough climb, but the view was spectacular when I climbed up to Mt. Makihata. I further climbed to the summit sign of Mt. Makihata and enjoyed the view, but it was the first time I had seen such an amazing sea of ​​clouds, and the Niigata side was all sea of ​​clouds. I enjoyed a blissful traverse from the summit sign of Mt. Makihata to the highest point of Mt. Makihata, and then to Ushigatake. Further ahead, from the summit of Ushigatake, I enjoyed the sea of ​​clouds on the opposite side to the one seen from Mt. Makihata. Mt. Hakkai, Mt. Echigo-Komagatake, and Mt. Nakanodake pierced through the sea of ​​clouds, also a spectacular view. Everyone I passed at Mt. Makihata that day was high and happy from the spectacular view of the sea of ​​clouds. (Original) 巻機山は、高山の湿原好きにとって、最高です。合わせて牛ヶ岳まで行かれることもお勧めします。 山歩きした10月は、群馬県までは快晴でしたが、関越トンネル手前で谷川岳を見上げると向こうの新潟県側から滝雲が流れてきており、トンネル抜けると新潟県はガスと霧雨でした。 しかし、レインジャケットを着込んで霧雨の中を歩きはじめ、樹林帯を抜けるあたりでガスが薄くなってきて日差しが当たり始めて、ガスをドーンと突き抜けるて振り返ると下はこれまで見た中で一番素晴らしい大雲海で、上は草紅葉の絶景。この日は雨粒ではなく霧で出来た白いレアな虹も見えた👌 ここからはキツイ登りだが、前巻機山まで登ると絶景。更に巻機山の山頂標識へ登頂して眺望を楽しむがこんなに凄い雲海は初めてで、新潟側はすべて雲海。巻機山の山頂標識から巻機山の最高点、そして牛ヶ岳へと極楽の縦走を楽しんだ。 更に先の牛ヶ岳の山頂からは巻機山から見られた雲海とは反対側の雲海を楽しんだ。雲海から八海山、越後駒ヶ岳、中ノ岳が突き抜けていてこれまた絶景。 この日に巻機山ですれ違った方々は、皆さん雲海の絶景により、ハイで幸せな山歩きの感じ。

(Translated by Google) October 14, 2024 We summited via the Nukubisawa Trail, which is only accessible for a month and a half after the snow melts. It's a challenging trail with rock climbing, steep slopes, and numerous chain sections, but it's all the more rewarding. We first climbed Mount Waribatake, then Mt. Makihata. The gentle summit offered a spectacular 360-degree panoramic view. (Original) 2024.10.14 雪渓が溶けた1ヶ月半の間しか登れないヌクビ沢コースから登頂。岩登り、急勾配、鎖場多数の難コースだが、その分登り応えがある。 先に割引岳に登り、その後に巻機山へ。 なだらかな山頂には360度パノラマの絶景が広がっていた。

A good sized park with central pond and large koi fish to feed at the back pond. A peaceful park to take a stroll in and have a picnic. No play equipment for children but the kids would enjoy feeding the fish but bring your own bread/fish food. I visited in early September and it was a hot and humid day but I feel it would be more pleasant and prettier to visit in spring or autumn.

Nice park, there are museum and trekking path to the mountain. 20190331.

so pretty in sakura season

Near muikamachi station…takes about 20 minutes from the station…very beautiful …specially in spring ….for sakura and green landscapes

Senbuchi Park is a really nice little park on the outskirts of Muikamachi. Mount Sakado rises up behind it. There is a small lake in one corner of the park and if you take some bread the kids can have a ball feeding the ducks and carp. A path leads around the outskirts of the carefully landscaped grounds and it is a popular place to see the cherry and plum blossoms in spring. There is also a small museum to a local historical figure in the car park.

Beautiful. And has food stalls

Beautiful park, very clean and comfy with various plants and animal

It's a cute museum. We love the snow paintings.

(Translated by Google) This was my first visit, so when I arrived at the parking lot, I couldn't see the entrance to the building because it was long from side to side, and there was no information board, so I didn't know if the entrance was at the end of the road, at the back, or at the front. . I thought the front would definitely be different, and when I looked at the satellite photo, I saw someone coming from the back, so I guess the entrance is at the back. That's what I thought, and I was right. The parking lot has a long, vertical structure that is difficult for first-time visitors to understand without an information board. The road from No. 17 has few ups and downs, and I think you can go there without any problems even with a 2WD studless car. The parking lot was also cleared of snow. If you open the homepage and show the picture posted there, you will get 20% off the 500 yen admission fee. Photography is prohibited inside. I watched the Youtube explanation video posted on the homepage beforehand, but it was terrible. Several local junior high school students give explanations, but their tongues are poor, their voices lack firmness, and their lack of practice makes them unbearable to listen to. Especially boys. The exhibits are very nice and worth seeing. (Original) 初訪問でしたので、駐車場に着いた時、左右に長い建物なので、建物の入口が見えず案内板が無いため、入口が道路っ端なのか、奥なのか、正面なのか分かりませんでした。 正面は絶対違うだろうなと思い、衛星写真を見ていたら、丁度奥から人が来たので、入口は奥かな？と思い行ってみたら正解。 駐車場には案内板が無いと初めての人は分かりづらい縦長ロング構造。 17号からの道は起伏が少なく、2WDのスタッドレスでも問題なく行けると思います。 駐車場も除雪されていました。 ホームページを開き、そこに貼ってある絵を見せると入館料500円が20%オフ。 内部は撮影禁止。 事前にホームページ内に貼ってあるYoutubeの解説動画を見て行ったが、まあこれが酷い。 地元の中学生複数人が解説しているのだが、滑舌は悪いわ声にハリは無いわ練習不足すぎて聞くに堪えない。特に男子。 展示物については大変素晴らしく観る価値有りです。

(Translated by Google) There's a discount coupon in the flyer, so be sure to use it. It's 20% off. I found them in train stations and restaurants. They change the exhibits three times a year. They do so at the end of March, July, and November, so if you go the following month, the exhibits will probably have been changed. The museum has a collection of 640 works by Soichiro Tomioka. You can enjoy the world of Tomioka White. Mount Hakkai from the lobby is also worth seeing. Red dragonflies were flying in the rice fields before the harvest. It's a quintessential Japanese landscape. (Original) チラシに割引券が付いているので利用してください。20%offです。駅とかレストランに置いてありました。年に3回展示を総入れ替えするそうです。3.7.11月の月末なので翌月にいったら入れ替えられているでしょう。富岡惣一郎の作品640点所蔵。トミオカホワイトの世界を楽しめます。 ロビーからの八海山も見応えあります。 稲刈り前の田んぼに赤蜻蛉が飛んでいました。 日本の原風景ですね。

(Translated by Google) This is a very informative museum. You can feel the passion of Tomioka Soichiro. His feelings for snow and his passion for painting. Although he was born in Joetsu, he was drawn to the sacred mountain Hakkaisan, and so he chose to build the museum here. His feelings for Minamiuonuma are very relatable. Discount information available on the website. (Original) 非常に内容のある美術館。富岡惣一郎氏の熱意が感じられる。雪に対する想いや絵画に対する情熱。出身は上越ではあるが、霊峰八海山に導かれたとのことで、この地へ美実館を建立する地への想い。 南魚沼に対する想いは共感できます。HPで割引情報あり

(Translated by Google) I had the impression that it was just an oil painting in black and white, but there were some colored works, and the fireworks were beautiful. I think it was very difficult to develop white oil paint that would not turn yellow, but I realized that it was because I overcame it that I was able to create the world of Tomioka White. Photography of the works inside the museum was prohibited. The parking lot was wide and easy to park. (Original) 白と黒だけの油絵のイメージでしたが、色の着いた作品もあり花火がキレイでした。 黄色く変色しない白油絵の具の開発はとても大変だったと思いますが、克服したからこそトミオカホワイトの世界を作ることが出来たんだなと理解出来ました。 館内の作品は撮影禁止でした。 駐車場は広く停めやすかったです。

(Translated by Google) I've been wanting to visit the Tomioka White Museum for a long time. I'm so glad I was able to visit on a hot midsummer day and leisurely view the artworks. The museum staff were so attentive and helpful, and I enjoyed their conversations. The scenery outside the museum is also beautiful. Time flows slowly in the museum, so I highly recommend the Tomioka White Museum as a place to view the wonderful artworks and clear your mind. (Original) 前々から伺って見たかった トミオカホワイト美術館さん｡ 真夏の暑い暑い平日に 伺って、作品をゆっくりと 拝見出来て本当に良かったです。 貴重な作品の数々と 館内のスタッフさんの 丁寧な対応､お話は楽しかったですし 館内の回りの外の風景は 素晴らしいです。 美術館は､ゆっくりとした時間が 流れてるので 素晴らしい作品を見て 心の洗濯をされるのには とってもお勧めの トミオカホワイト美術館さんでしたぁ。

(Translated by Google) The museum is located in a scenic mountain village at the foot of Mt. Hakkaisan. Monochrome paintings are displayed in a small building. I had a great time appreciating the artist's unique techniques. There wasn't a lot of points, and I would like to see more of the works, but given the current coronavirus pandemic, there were only a few viewers, so I had a good time. Although the location is difficult to access, please come and enjoy Mr. Tomioka's works. It's a small but nice museum. (Original) 八海山の麓の風光明媚な山里に美術館があります。こじんまりとした建物にモノクロームの絵画が展示されたいます。作者の独特の技法を鑑賞できて豊かな時間を過ごせました。決して点数も多くはなくもっと多くの作品を見たいですが、新型コロナの流行下で鑑賞者数も少なくいい時間を過ごせました。アクセスは悪い立地ですが、是非訪問して、富岡氏の作品を堪能してください。小さないい美術館ですが、いい美術館です。

nice view‼️

(Translated by Google) Climbed on April 20, 2024. Piston and Koma's hut stay overnight from Ishibo Bridge. The access from the stream is a steep climb. Be careful of overstepping. I ran out of gas at Dogyoyama, and was pulled into the trace and headed towards Edori Pass. At the top of the mountain, the weather cleared and the wind subsided, allowing us to enjoy the best views. The scenery is spectacular, with alpine-like mountain ranges, Mt. Hakkaisan, and Mt. Aizu Asahidake. The Koma-no-hut is comfortable and has a toilet. Although it is an unmanned hut, we paid a cooperation fee of 2,000 yen. The next day, I enjoyed the sunrise as I climbed down. (Original) 2024/4/20登頂。石抱橋よりピストン、駒の小屋泊。 沢からの取付きは急登になります。踏み抜き注意。 道行山でガスってしまい、トレースに引き込まれて枝折峠方面へ進んでしまいました。 山頂では晴れ上がり風も収まって、最高の景色を堪能しました。なかなかアルペンチックな山並みや、八海山、会津朝日岳、など、素晴らしい景観です。 駒の小屋はトイレも有り快適です。無人小屋ですが協力金2,０００円を支払いました。 翌日は朝日を眺めながら、気持ちよく下りました。

(Translated by Google) The attractive points of Echigo-Komagatake in Niigata Prefecture are as follows. (Attractions of Echigo-Komagatake) ⦿Snowy scenery unique to a heavy snow area. In winter, deep snow accumulates, and even in summer, the snowfields remain, creating a spectacular view. ⦿Dynamic mountain shape. Standing at a high altitude, you can see the surrounding mountains. ⦿Alpine plants: At the summit, alpine plants such as Hakusankozakura and Kinkouka bloom in abundance, creating a paradise-like atmosphere. ⦿Beautiful autumn leaves During the autumn foliage season, you can enjoy the colorful autumn leaves as you head from the trailhead to the summit. ⦿Amazing view from Shiori Pass Shiori Pass is famous for the waterfall clouds of Okutadami, and is also used as the trailhead for Echigo-Komagatake. ⦿Koma-no-koya Mountain hut.

It is counted as one of the three mountains of Echigo along with Nakanodake and Hakkaisan, and is also called Uonuma Komagatake locally. ⦿A mountain of faith It is also known as a mountain of faith, and is famous for Hakkaisan sake. (Original) 新潟県越後駒ヶ岳の魅力のポイントは次の通りです。 （越後駒ヶ岳の魅力） ⦿豪雪地帯ならではの雪景。 冬には、深い雪が積もり、夏でも雪渓が残る壮大な景色が特徴です。 ⦿ダイナミックな山容。 標高の高い場所にそびえ立ち、周囲の山々を望むことができます。 ⦿高山植物　山頂部では、ハクサンコザクラやキンコウカなどの高山植物が咲き乱れ、楽園のような雰囲気を醸し出しています。 ⦿紅葉の美しさ 紅葉の時期には登山口から山頂に向かうにつれ、色鮮やかな紅葉が楽しめます。 ⦿枝折峠からの絶景 枝折峠は奥只見の滝雲が有名な場所で、越後駒ヶ岳の登山口としても利用されています。 ⦿駒ノ小屋。 駒ノ小屋は明神屋根の標高１８００ｍに位置し、中ノ岳、八海山へと縦走する際に利用されます。 ⦿登山ルートの豊富さ 枝折峠からのコースや駒の湯からのコースなど 様々な登山るがあります。 ⦿越後三山の一座。 中ノ岳、八海山とともに越後三山の一座に数えられ、地元では魚沼駒ヶ岳とも呼ばれています。 ⦿信仰の山 信仰の山としても知られており、八海山の清酒でも有名です。

(Translated by Google) Anyway, it's a long climb from the trailhead, so I recommend that anyone planning to climb it be well prepared and in good physical condition. Unfortunately, the summit was covered in fog and the view was obscured, but I managed to touch the triangulation point at the summit. (Original) とにかく登山口から長いので、登られる方は十分な用意と体調を整えて行かれることをお勧めします 残念ながら山頂はガスで眺望は望めませんでしたが、山頂の三角点はタッチしてきました

(Translated by Google) The hiking trail from Shiori Pass is easy to walk on as it is well maintained with boardwalks and wooden stairs, but there are some large steps and places that have been deeply gouged by rain. There are also steep rocky areas from Maekoma to Komano Hut, so I felt a rope would be a good idea. The large mountain has an imposing presence. (Original) 枝折峠からの登山道は、木道や木の階段など整備されて歩き易いですが、一部段差が大きい箇所や雨などで深くえぐれた箇所があります。 前駒から駒の小屋までは急な岩場もあり、ロープがあっても良いと感じました。 大きな山体は、威風堂々として存在感があります。

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, it was cloudy and we didn't have a great view, but I'm glad we managed to reach the summit safely. I don't recommend climbing on rainy days as there are many slippery spots. (Original) あいにくの曇り空　見晴らしは無しでも　無事に登頂できて良かったです 雨の日はスリップ箇所多いのでオススメしません

(Translated by Google) Climbed in early June 2024 It was a mountain that seemed to require a lot of physical strength, so this time I tried the Echikoma that I had left as a set with Mt. Hiragatake! It was a very easy hike since the last one we climbed was Mt. Hiragatake, which was in a desolate state! What about the remaining snow? So I brought crampons with me, but there was almost no snow on this mountain, so I didn't have to use them. Should I use crampons right below the summit? I thought about that for a moment, but since I followed the kick steps of my predecessors, I climbed the summit without any problems! Well, it's well maintained and easy to walk, with a wooden path all the way to the top. The spring water at Koma-no-hut was cold and extremely delicious! Koma-no-hut was not open, so I bought the badge at Ginzandaira Onsen Shirogane-no-Yu. They also sold badges for Mt. Hiragatake, which was helpful! thank you! 😆 (Original) 2024年6月初旬に登りました 体力が必要そうな山だったので、平ヶ岳とセットで残しておいたエチコマに今回挑みました！ 一つ前に登ったのが荒れ果てていた平ヶ岳だっただけに非常に歩きやすい！ 残雪はどうなんだろう？と思いアイゼンを持って行きましたが、こちらの山もほとんど雪は無くアイゼンを使うことはありませんでした 山頂直下の場所でアイゼン使うか？と一瞬考えましたが、先人たちのキックステップの後があったので問題なく登頂！ いやー上の方まで木道があったりで整備されてて歩きやすいねー 駒の小屋の湧き水は冷たくてめちゃくちゃ美味かった〜！ 駒の小屋は営業してなかったので、バッジは銀山平温泉白銀の湯で購入しました 平ヶ岳のバッジも売ってて助かった！ありがとう！😆

(Translated by Google) 2024.05 I went on May 1st, and there were no katakuri. There is a fourth-class triangulation point, Rokumankiyama, 320.63 m. 2023.04 I would like the blue sheet materials at the summit plaza to be made inconspicuous. Even if the flowers are beautiful, the blue sheets are noticeable. 2021.04 It's crowded around April. (Original) 2024.05 5月1日に行った、カタクリは全く無い。四等三角点、六万騎山320.63mがあります。 2023.04 山頂広場のブルーシートの資材は目立たないようにしてほしい。花が綺麗でもブルーシートが目立って醒めます。 2021.04 4月ころ賑わいます。

(Translated by Google) It's an easy mountain to climb. There are benches where you can take a break, and the view from there is nice. (Original) 登りやすい山です。 休憩できるベンチ等がありそこからの景色はいいですね。

(Translated by Google) This is a famous spot for Katakuri flowers. At the top of the mountain are the ruins of a mountain castle called Rokumankijo. (Original) カタクリの花の名所です。 山頂部は六万騎城という山城跡です。

(Translated by Google) Due to the high temperatures this year, the katakuri was over by May 11th. However, the view at the top of the mountain is amazing. You can understand the correctness of setting it up as a lookout post during the Sengoku period. In the midst of Sanshisuimei, I was ``belly pounding'' with the beer and lunch I had brought with me. (Original) 今年は高温でしたので、5月11日にはカタクリは終わっていました。しかし、山頂での展望は最高です。戦国時代に見張り所に設定したことの正しさが、理解できます。山紫水明の中で、持参のビールと弁当で「腹鼓」でした。

(Translated by Google) There are clumps of katakuri and it is beautiful. Additionally, from the top of the mountain, there is a wonderful view of Mt. Sakado, Mt. Kinjo, and Mt. Makiki. (Original) カタクリが群生していて綺麗です。また、山頂からは坂戸山、金城山、巻機山方面の見晴らしが素晴らしいです。

(Translated by Google) (ﾟДﾟ)The whole mountain is katakuri! However, it was early in the morning and it wasn't open. I wonder if I can come around in about an hour. 2023/03/25 (Original) (ﾟДﾟ)山一つ丸々カタクリ！ ただ朝早くて開いてなかった 一時間くらいでまわって来れるのかな 2023/03/25

(Translated by Google) There were a lot of Japanese anthrax in bloom, and I was glad I went even though it was far away to see the red epimedium! (Original) カタクリもたくさん咲いていたし、赤いイカリソウを見れて遠かったけど行ってよかったです!

Not worth the combined ticket with Fossa Magna Museum. Nothing to see here and the staff laugh when I asked her if something I pointed is jade. There is no need to laugh.

Nice little museum detailing the archaeological history of the Chojagahara Site and Itoigawa Region. The museum houses an impressive collection of artifacts, many dating back to the neolithic era, including jade beads, stone tools, and pottery. The exhibits are all interpreted in both Japanese and English. You can get a discounted joint ticket to visit this and the Fossa Magna Museum together. Kids and students 18 and under get in free.

(Translated by Google) 2024.10.30 The Chojagahara Ruins are designated as a national historic site. Approximately 3 times the size of Tokyo Dome, It has an area of ​​13.6ha. The remains of a large village from the middle of the Jomon period (5,000 to 3,500 years ago) spread out in the center of this site, and are also known as a production and trading base for stone axes and jade beads. Although the area that has been excavated so far only accounts for about 3% of the entire ruins and 10% of the village ruins, the general outline of the ruins has been grasped from the remains of many dwellings and a huge amount of excavated items. In the ruins park, buildings such as the pit dwelling have been restored, and various hands-on learning activities can be held. I didn't have much time, so I only toured the inside of the building. The archaeological museum exhibits Jomon pottery, stone tools, and jade beads. It was very good. 🤗 Why not try it yourself? Travel back in time to the Jomon period I had a great time. thank you very much. (Original) 2024.10.30 国史跡に指定されている長者ケ原遺跡は、 東京ドーム約３個分、 13.6haもの面積を有しています。 この遺跡の中央に広がる縄文時代中期（5,000～3,500年前）の大きな集落跡は、石斧やヒスイの玉の生産・交易拠点としても知られています。 これまでに発掘調査された面積は遺跡全体の約３％、集落跡の10％に過ぎませんが、多くの住居跡や膨大な出土品によって遺跡の概要が把握されました。 遺跡公園には竪穴住居（たてあなじゅうきょ）などの建物が復元され、様々な体験学習も行うことができるそうです。 私は時間がないので　館内のみ見学しました 考古館では縄文土器や石器、ヒスイの玉などが展示されております。 とても良かったです。🤗 みなさんもいかれてみてはいかがでしょうか？ 縄文時代にタイムスリップしますよ とても楽しく過ごせました。 ありがとうございました。

(Translated by Google) Treasures that fans will love, such as jade and Jomon pottery, are casually (or perhaps carelessly?) displayed. I wish they would promote it more! I would highly recommend a visit to anyone who is even slightly interested. I wanted to buy something to commemorate my visit, but there weren't many souvenirs available. (It would be nice if they had mini replicas of haniwa and pottery, etc.) (Original) 翡翠や縄文土器など、ファンにはたまらないお宝が、さりげなく（無造作に？）展示されています。もっとPRしたらいいのに！ 少しでも興味がある方は是非訪れて欲しいです。行った記念に何か購入したかったのですが、お土産があまりありませんでした。（埴輪や土器のミニレプリカとかあるといいのになぁ）

(Translated by Google) This museum exhibits ruins in the prefecture and their excavated items, with a focus on the Chojagahara ruins, which are large-scale ruins from the Jomon period. Admission is charged (300 yen), and there is also a shared ticket with the Fossa Magna Museum. Various ruins are introduced, but I think the main one is the Chojagahara ruins. The excavation survey has only progressed to about one-tenth of the total, but even so, it seems that many pieces of Jomon-style pottery have been unearthed, including fragments of the characteristic flame pottery, so I'm looking forward to future research. I think the exhibits are of high value overall, but after visiting the Fossa Magna Museum, I can't help but feel that the exhibition methods are rather plain and lack visual impact. I don't know if young children will be interested in it, but I think it's worth seeing if you're interested in ruins. (Original) 縄文時代の大規模な遺跡である長者ヶ原遺跡を中心に、県内の遺跡とその出土品などを展示する資料館。入館は有料（300円）で、フォッサマグナミュージアムとの共通券もあります。 いろいろな遺跡が紹介されていますが、やはり中心は長者ヶ原遺跡でしょうか。発掘調査はまだ全体の10分の1ほどしか進んでおらず、それでも特徴的な火焔式土器の破片をはじめ、数多くの縄文式土器などが出土しているようなので、今後の調査が楽しみです。 全体に価値の高い展示内容だと思うのですが、フォッサマグナミュージアムを見た後だと、展示手法が地味というか、ビジュアルなインパクトに欠けるのはやむを得ないところですね。 小さいお子さんが興味を持つかはわかりませんが、遺跡に関心のある人なら見る価値はあると思います。

(Translated by Google) On the map, it is attached to the Fossa Magna Museum, but it was farther away than I expected. It's close because there's no location, but it's in the mountains. There was a dead-end road, so I took a detour. The archeology museum was very nice. It is said that only 10% of the ruins have been excavated so far, so there are great expectations for future research. Itoigawa is the birthplace of magatama excavated throughout ancient Asia, which shows the scale of distribution both domestically and internationally, and I believe that its importance is a treasure not only for Itoigawa City but for all of Japan. Geographically, it makes sense that the Jomon people were able to process highly hard magatama beads, that they had a surplus labor force, and that they had a relationship with Izumo and Suwa, where Nunagawa Hime was the center. It can be seen that there was a united kingdom of Izumo, Koshi, and Suwa of the Kunitsukami lineage that opposed the ancient Yamato dynasty. It was deeply moving to see glimpses of a huge kingdom that spanned from the Jomon period to the entire ancient period by chasing jade. Jade is also difficult to find. It makes me think about how ancient people identified and processed it, and what kind of spirituality the claims of each village contained in addition to the authority material. I drew a book about Suwa, but I would like to consider writing another one with a story centered around Itoigawa. https://www.amazon.co.jp/Understanding the history of Suwa Taisha Shrine and the structure of Japanese political festivals in 2 hours - Yasu Bunko - Keisuke Yajima - ebook/dp/B0BKF225SN (Original) 地図上ではフォッサマグナミュージアムと併設ですが、思ったより距離がありました。 場所もしないから近いですが山の中。 行き止まりの道路がありだいぶ迂回して行きました。 考古館はとても良かったです。 まだ遺跡の10%しか発掘できていないとのことで、これからの調査に期待大です。 古代アジア全域で出土した勾玉の産地がここ糸魚川であり、国内外の流通規模を示すとともにその重要性は糸魚川市のみならず日本全体の宝だと思います。 硬度の高い勾玉の加工を縄文人が可能にしたこと、余剰労働力を生み出していること、奴奈川姫を中心とした出雲、諏訪との関係も地理的に納得。 古代大和王朝に対抗した国津神系の出雲、越、諏訪連合王国があったことが伺えます。 縄文から古代全体にまたがる巨大王国の片鱗が翡翠を追うことで見えてきて感慨深いものがありました。 翡翠もなかなか見つけるのが大変です。 古代人がそれを識別、加工していたこと、各村の主張がもつものとして権威材以外にもどのような精神性を宿していたのか考えさせられます。 諏訪の本を描きましたが、ここ糸魚川を中心とした話でまた次作検討したいと思います。 https://www.amazon.co.jp/2時間で分かる諏訪大社の歴史と日本の政祭構造-八洲文庫-矢島景介-ebook/dp/B0BKF225SN

(Translated by Google) I went there after Fossa Magna. There weren't many exhibits, so it was a bit lacking, but I think it's a good place for people who like Jomon pottery. Cosplay tools are also available, so you can take photos as you like. (Original) フォッサマグナのついでに行きました。展示物は少なかったので物足りないない面がありましたが縄文土器が好きな人には良い場所と思います。 コスプレ道具も用意してあるので好きに写真が撮れます。

There is areas for beginners and intermediates. Powdery snow. No long lines in lift. No stress. We enjoyed it!

Very beautiful ski slopes area. Not crowded, where you can enjoy the slope at your own pace. Stunning views. Highly recommended for those who love peaceful stunning place to ski and just immerse the nature beauty.

Limited runs, antiquated chair lift with no safety bar. Cash only resort even for lift tickets. Only 1 cafe that limits it's menus at rush hour, still the cafe deserves 5 stars for good quality and friendly service

You can walk along river side in that area

a small ski resort which the IUJ students come here often. but still. provided a beautiful memory of skiing for the first time. hope to visit this place soon

Good place for beginners, kids...

Nice skiing place near to IUJ campus.

Ok

(Translated by Google) A ski resort for beginners. It's not crowded and the slope is wide, so I think it's a good place to practice. (Original) 初心者向けのスキー場。混んでいないし、幅があるゲレンデなので練習するのにちょうど良いと思います。

(Translated by Google) It was a ski slope that was slippery because it was a slope with a slope and a wide width. (Original) 緩急のあるバーンで横幅もあるので滑りやすいスキー場でした

(Translated by Google) A memorial hall that tends to be found in places that are the setting of taiga dramas. As a museum, it's small and the exhibits aren't that great, but since the entrance fee is 300 yen, I don't have any major complaints. Only the love of Naoe Kanetsugu of the people of Muikamachi can be felt. Only the diorama of Sakado Castle is well made. (Original) 大河ドラマの舞台になった場所にありがちな記念館。博物館として見ると小規模で展示も大したことがないが，入館料が300円なので大きな不満は無い。六日町の人々の直江兼続愛だけが伝わってくる。坂戸城のジオラマだけは出来が良い。

(Translated by Google) I didn't go into Denseikan, but is there a large park around it? I thought it was a wasteful facility because there was a toilet that looked new. The bronze statue is located in the back, and you can go in and out as you like, so you can see it for free. (Original) 伝世館には入りませんでしたが、周囲は広い公園？があって新しそうなトイレもありなんか勿体無い施設だと思いました。 銅像は奥の方にあり、自由に出入りできるので無料で見れました。

(Translated by Google) [First visit in July 2018] The price is 500 yen. I'm not sure if it's worth it, but since it's my favorite Sengoku warlord, I decided to go for it. Kanetsugu's helmet (it wasn't love) was also on display. There is a large parking lot, and it seems that some people park here or in the park in the back (free of charge) and climb the mountain. (Original) 【平成30年7月 初訪問】 料金は500円。その価値があるかは微妙ですが、私は大好きな戦国武将のため、よしとしました。 兼続の兜（愛ではありませんでした。）なども展示されていました。 大型駐車場が完備され、裏の公園（無料）やここに駐車して、登山される方もいるみたいでした。

(Translated by Google) First visit. I thought that the decoration called love was just a manga story, but I was surprised to find out that it was actually wearing one. Fact is stranger than fiction👀 (Original) 初訪問。愛という飾りは漫画ネタだと思ってたら本当に被っていた事に驚き。事実は小説よりも奇なり👀

(Translated by Google) Although it is a small museum, it is a nice building, and the materials about Kanetsugu Naoe were easy to understand, and I was able to understand his personality very well. (Original) こじんまりした資料館ですが、素敵な建物で、直江兼続の資料も分かりやすく、人となりがよくわかりました。

(Translated by Google) I was able to learn about the history of Mt. Sakado before and after, which is not talked about in the taiga drama, and I was able to stop by and preview the mountain before climbing, making it a fun time to climb. (Original) 大河ドラマでは語られない、前後の坂戸山の歴史も知ることができ、登山の前に寄って、事前に下見出来てる楽しい時間登山になりました。

I’m sure I’d give it 5/5 if the weather had been blue skies and bright green foliage. But on a wet overcast day the factory and piles of gravel became more noticeable. The water was clear and I’m sure with some protection on your feet it would have been a great place for my kids and dog to play.

Nice little park with green areas and a slow current river. Good for kids as it is very safe to play.

Nice place for a stroll; but the factory on the opposite side of the river is extremely unfortunate & interferes with the great view of the mountains... Better to drive a little up the river & get clear views of all the nature that is around.

nice place to swim and also for picnic

(Translated by Google) It's great! It's a park, but it doesn't feel like a park. No playground equipment. It feels like a slightly developed riverbed. It was bustling with people having BBQs even before 9 AM. There are restrooms, no vending machines, and parking. There's nothing here, but that's what makes it great! Playing in the water at Noborigawa is the best! (Original) 良い❗ 公園だけど公園らしくない 遊具なし 河川敷をちょっと整備した感じ BBQする人で９時前から賑わってた✨ トイレあり　自販機なし　駐車場あり 何もないけどそれがいい❗ 登川で水遊び最高だ😉

(Translated by Google) This is my second time using this campsite. With the number of free campsites decreasing, this is a truly appreciated one. It's a hidden gem. There is running water and a flush toilet, and you won't get wet even in the rain under the bridge. However, if you don't choose the right spot, puddles will form. Apart from the bridge, the undergrowth is also fairly well maintained, and there was an old man picking up trash in the morning. On summer Saturdays, it was quite busy with day BBQs and playing in the river. It seemed like there were some people with bad manners, and we noticed a lot of charcoal and nets being thrown away. I would like to use this campsite carefully (Original) 2回目の利用です。 無料で利用出来るキャンプ場が減少している中で、本当にありがたいキャンプ場です。穴場的なキャンプ場ですね。 水道と水洗トイレがあり、橋げた下は雨でも濡れにくいです。ただし場所を選ばないと水たまり出来ます。 橋げた以外も割りと下草の手入れはされていて、朝にはゴミ拾いのおじさんもいました。夏の土曜日は、デイバーベキューと川遊びでかなり混雑してましたね。 少しマナーが悪い人いるようで、炭の廃棄、網の廃棄が目立ちました。 大事に利用したいですね

(Translated by Google) As you proceed from the parking lot, there is a fork that leads to either the north side or the front side of the pond. Going to the north side leads to wisteria trellis and huge rocks, but the road condition is quite bad. It seems like you can go around the pond if you try hard, but I don't know if it's worth it... One of the giant rocks, Kodateiwa, has an observation deck, but it's not really something you can climb. I regain my composure and head towards the front, but the shop is closed and there is only a desolate atmosphere. Contrary to the description on the information board that says "highly transparent and cold", the water surface is quite murky...huh? If this is the case, the moon will not be reflected on the water surface, so in that sense, it may be a pond where the moon is never seen. ? . I wonder if there's a different atmosphere in the season when wisteria flowers bloom... (Original) 駐車場から進むと、池の北側か正面側かに通じる分岐点が有ります。北側へ行くと藤棚や巨岩に通じますが路面状況はかなり酷いです。頑張れば池を一周出来そうですが、その価値が有るかどうか····。巨岩の一つ・小立岩には展望台も備わりますが、とても登れたもんじゃないです。気を取り直して正面側に向かいますが、売店は閉まっており侘びしい雰囲気しかないです。 案内板にある「透明度が高く冷やか」との表記とは裏腹に水面はかなり濁っており····ん？コレなら水面に月など映らず、そういう意味では確かに月不見の池かも？？。藤の花が咲く季節だとまた違った趣きが有るんでしょうか····。

(Translated by Google) This famous wisteria spot is one of the top 100 tourist attractions in Niigata Prefecture. However, it is now a deserted tourist spot. It seems that the water is becoming less and less every year. It's fun to see the large carp swarming around. (Original) 藤の名所 新潟県観光百選。ですが現在は荒れ果てている観光名所です。 年々、水がたまらなくなってきてるそうです。 大きな鯉がウヨウヨしてて楽しい

I felt that if there was a little more water, it would be a nice atmosphere. (Original) 春と秋に行ったが、売店は営業しておらず、人もまばらな感じでした。池の水がかなり少なくて、ボートもひっくり返っていました。もう少し水があれば、いい雰囲気になるかと感じました。

(Translated by Google) There is a large parking lot and I walked to the pond for about 5 minutes. There are clean restrooms along the way. Maybe because it was September? The pond had no water and was dry. The moss was growing nicely and it was fun to walk around. I didn't take any photos of the pond because there was no water. (Original) 広い駐車場があり5分くらいですが池まで歩きました。途中キレイなトイレがあります。9月だったせいかな？池には水がなく枯れてる状態でした。苔もいい感じに生えてて歩くのが楽しかったです。水がなかったので池の写真を撮らなかったです。

(Translated by Google) Choon-ji Temple is a temple located a short distance from the north end of Makino-dori Street, where the streets of Gangi continue. (It is located further inside the grounds of Sumiyoshi Shrine at the end of the street) The Echigo mountains seen from in front of the bell tower gate beyond the stone Jizo group create a very rustic landscape. By the way, the bell tower gate is a magnificent vermilion-painted mountain gate with a statue of the Nio enshrined, and it is very impressive. The main hall is also painted in vermilion, and on the side stands the Ohatsuki ginkgo, which is designated as a natural monument of Niigata prefecture. The Ginkgo biloba is said to be a valuable variety that grows on its leaves, and since it was late autumn when I visited, the yellow color of the Ginkgo biloba was stunning, and the contrast with the vermilion bell tower gate was very nice. (Original) 「長恩寺」は雁木の街並みが続く牧之通りの北端から少し通りを入った先にある寺院です。(通りの端になる住吉神社の境内の更に奥に位置しています) 鐘楼門前から石地蔵群越しに見る越後の山々がとても素朴な風景を醸し出しています。ちなみに鐘楼門は仁王像がデンと鎮座する立派な朱塗りの山門でとても迫力があります。 本堂も朱塗りですが、脇には新潟県の天然記念物に指定されている「オハツキイチョウ」がコチラもデンと聳えています。 オハツキイチョウは葉に身をつける貴重な品種との事ですが、訪問時は晩秋だったので、身をつけたイチョウの黄色が見事で朱色の鐘楼門とのコントラストがとても良かったです。

(Translated by Google) There are not many remains of the castle. It takes about 45 minutes to reach the top, and the view from the top of the mountain is amazing! It's more like mountain climbing than a castle tour, so you need to be physically fit to go! (Original) 城の遺構は少なめです。頂上まで45分くらいでたどり着く、山ノ上からの眺望と素晴らしい！お城見学というより、登山に近い,体力が無ければ行けない場所です！

(Translated by Google) The parking lot at the trailhead is almost full, so it seems to be popular. The climb is the Shirosaka course. There are many winding steps and stairs, but it is easy to climb. The autumn leaves were a little earlier than the best time to see them, but they were beautiful. It took about 70 minutes to reach the top. The view from here is quite good. You can see from Yuzawa to Horinouchi along the Uono River. I can also understand the meaning of building a castle here. The descent is the Yakushi ridge course. As the name suggests, it is along a ridge, so the view is outstanding. However, although the stairs are very well maintained, the drop at each step is quite large, so it may be difficult to go down if you are not confident in your knees. We arrived at the parking lot in 45 minutes. Although it is a low mountain, you can enjoy the view, so I will visit again. (Original) 登山口駐車場はほぼ満車　やはり人気があるようです。 登りは城坂コース。つづら折りと階段が続きますが登りやすいです。紅葉は少し見頃より早めですがきれいでした。 約７０分で頂上に。ここからの眺めはなかなかです。湯沢から魚野川に沿って堀之内まで見渡せます。ここに城を作った意味も解ります。 下りは薬師尾根コース。その名の通り尾根沿いなので眺めは抜群。ただし階段がとてもきれいに整備してあるのですが、一段の落差がかなり大きいので膝に自信のない方に下りはきついかも。 ４５分で駐車場に到着。 低山の割に眺めが楽しめるので再訪ありです。

(Translated by Google) Arrived around 10:00 on a weekday in mid-May 2023. The first parking lot in front of the trailhead was already full, so we parked in the second parking lot a little further away, but when we got to the trailhead, there were about 3 spaces available. Hmm, I guess I should have waited a little longer. To climb the castle, we used the uphill Shirozaka course and the downhill Yakushi ridge course. The climb from the 4th station to the 6th station on the Shirosaka course is tough. The ridge course had a tough climb from the 8th station to the top. Most people used the ridge course. (Original) 2023年5月中旬の平日10時頃到着。 すでに登山口手前の第一駐車場が満車でちょっと離れた第2駐車場に停めましたが、我々が登山口に行ったら3台ほど空いてました。う〜ちょっと待てば良かったか。 登城には上り城坂コース、下り薬師尾根コースを利用しました。 城坂コースは4合目〜6合目の登りがキツイです。 尾根コースは8合目〜頂上の登りがエラそうでした。 ほとんどの方は尾根コースを利用していました。

(Translated by Google) My important tidy spot. It takes just over an hour round trip to climb 634m along the ridge, but it is quite a demanding hike. The scenery and the wind at the top of the mountain are soothing every time. You can climb the mountain with just the right amount of effort and a sense of accomplishment, wearing only jogging clothes. It gets quite crowded after 9 o'clock on weekends, so I recommend visiting on weekdays or early in the morning. (Original) 大事な私の整いスポット。 尾根伝いに一気に登る634mは往復1時間ちょっとですが、なかなかの負荷です。 山頂の景色と風に毎回癒されます。 ジョギング程度の軽装で気楽に登れて、ちょうど良い負荷と達成感を味わえます。 週末の9時過ぎはけっこう混みますので、平日または早朝がオススメです。

(Translated by Google) A mountain castle built around the summit of Mt. Sakado, which is 633 meters above sea level. There are three parking lots, and the road to the castle has stairs, making it cheaper to walk. The shrine of Fuji Gongen is enshrined at the site of the main enclosure, and the enclosure and moat remain well. This is a place that can be called a mountain castle. It is a scenic spot overlooking the Uonuma Basin from the main enclosure ruins. (Original) 標高633メートルの坂戸山の山頂を中心に築かれた山城。駐車場も３つあり、登城路も階段が敷かれ歩き安くなっています。本丸跡には富士権現の社が祭られ郭や堀切もしっかり残っています。これぞ山城と言える場所です。本丸跡からは魚沼盆地を見下ろす景勝地です。

(Translated by Google) When I went up there on a hot summer day, the kuruwa listed on the explanation board 🪧 had been mowed. The group of mansions at the foot of the mountain was also beautiful 👌 Tatebori group ♪ is in a state where it is difficult to even see it because of the bushes 😅 There are many dankaku♪ and cut banks♪ that can be clearly seen depending on the location. The stone walls around the main fort♪ were buried in grass😂 There are a lot of Horikiri♪, but I feel like most of them are buried under the promenade or hidden by thick bushes, making them difficult to see. The view is amazing 🤠 Yahoo The parking lot in front of the entrance was full early in the morning 🅿️🈵 The parking lot a little north was empty🅿️🈳 It's a popular climbing course where you'll pass by a lot of people. There were no castle ruins enthusiasts pushing their way through the bushes... (other than me🤭) 634m above sea level, 170m above sea level in front of the castle entrance 🅿️ (Original) 夏の暑～い日に登ったら 説明板🪧に載ってる曲輪は草刈りされてた👏 麓の屋敷群も綺麗だった👌 竪堀群♪は..ヤブで見ることすら難しい状態😅 たくさんある段郭♪や切岸♪は場所によってよく見える 主郭周辺石垣♪は草に埋もれてた😂 堀切♪が たくさんあるけど遊歩道で埋まってたり 猛ヤブで隠れてたりで見にくいモノが多い気がする😓 眺めは最高です🤠ﾔｯﾎｰ 登り口前の駐車場は朝早くに いっぱいになってた🅿️🈵 少し北側の駐車場は空いてた🅿️🈳 たくさんの人とすれ違う 人気の登山コースなんですね😲 ヤブを掻き分ける城跡マニアは いなかった... (自分以外🤭) 標高634m、登城口前🅿️の標高170m

I had a very nice hike to the top late april. I choose the steep trail that starts close to EchigoYuzawa. Don't go alone if you're not experienced, it's not only hiking, but climbing too.

(Translated by Google) I climbed from the third summit of Iwahara Ski Resort, and after climbing to the summit, I descended towards the station building of the summit quad, descended along the forest course, and then walked to Echigo Yuzawa Station. (Original) 岩原スキー場の第3の頂上から登り、登頂後は山頂クワッドの駅舎方面に降りて、林間コースで降りてきたあと越後湯沢駅まで歩きました。

(Translated by Google) A mountain that can be climbed in about 5 hours round trip from Iwahara Ski Resort. It is a valuable mountain in Niigata that can be climbed without a car. The scenery is also perfect, with views of the stationary lift, Uonuma Plain, Yuzawa Tower Man, Kanetsu, and Echigo Sanzan. (Original) 岩原スキー場から、往復５時間くらいで登れる山。 車なしでも登れる、新潟では貴重な山です。 止まっているリフトや、魚沼平野、湯沢タワマン・関越・越後三山を眺められるなど、景色も申し分ありません。

(Translated by Google) It is a dormant volcano with an independent peak similar to Mt. Fuji called Ueda Fuji, which is one of Niigata's top 100 mountains. There are four mountain trails, but we chose the one that starts from Iwahara Ski Resort. Although we were forced to climb steeply, the distance was short and it was a comfortable climb with good views from beginning to end. This is a recommended course that offers views of the famous mountains that represent Niigata, including the Tanigawa Mountain Range, Echigo Sanzan, Mt. Makiki, and Mt. Myoko. (Original) 新潟100名山の一峰、上田富士と呼ばれる富士山のような独立峰の休火山です。登山道は四本ありますが、岩原スキー場から登り詰めるコースを選びました。急な登りを強いられますが距離が短く、終始展望に恵まれた快適な登山でした。谷川連峰、越後三山、巻機山、妙高山と新潟を代表する名山を眺めるお薦めのコースです。

(Translated by Google) To reach the trailhead, you must first queue up a large grass slope. Then it takes about 2 to 3 hours from the entrance to the summit. It takes about an hour to go down the mountain But be careful about the stone road in the last 10-15 minutes, especially when going down the mountain. The stones are very slippery and you have to walk slowly and slowly. The scenery along the way is beautiful and the vision is magnificent. After climbing to the top, you can even see a beautiful 360-degree view. (Original) 到登山口須先排上一大草皮斜坡 然後啟登口到攻頂大概2～3小時， 下山約為一個小時 但須小心最後10-15分鐘的石頭路，尤其是下山時，石頭很滑必須小步小步慢慢走 途中景色優美，視野壯闊 攻頂後更可以看到快360度的絕美視野

(Translated by Google) 2023.05 There are relatively easy courses and dangerous courses. The standard course is to climb from Iwahara Ski Resort. However, everything can be done on a day trip. (Original) 2023.05　比較的楽なコース、ヤバいコースが有ります。岩原スキー場から登るのが標準コース。しかし、全て日帰りできます。

(Translated by Google) One day in January, I walked through the mountains from Jinbenbashi towards Mt. Iishi. We ran out of time at JP and headed down to Iwahara Ski Resort. (Original) 1月某日、神弁橋から飯士山を目指して山中を歩きました。 JPで時間切れし、岩原スキー場に下山。

(Translated by Google) Not only the castle ruins, but also the wildflowers such as the Katakuri in early spring are beautiful! (Original) 城跡もそうだが、早春のカタクリなど、山野草もキレイです！
