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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

It’s a calm place amongst the trees.

You should visit this place. Among the most impressive things is the walking path with Lotus sutra buried underneath. Walk on it, purify yourself and feel the peace.

Beautiful and serene temple in any season

good feel

Best place for aki

(Translated by Google) As expected of Echigo's number one temple, it was magnificent! This is a region with heavy snowfall, but the thick, impressive zelkova pillars, beams, and window frames have withstood the weight of snow for many years. It's truly a sight to behold! This is where the Kanto Kanrei Uesugi family, as well as Uesugi Kenshin, Kagekatsu, and Naoe Kanetsugu, and the world of the historical drama Tenchijin, were based! It's also fun to let your imagination wander. The treasure hall also houses items related to Kenshin, Kagekatsu, and Kanetsugu, so be sure to check it out 😊 (Original) さすが越後一の寺、立派でした！ ここは豪雪地帯なのに長い年月雪の重み耐え抜いた太く立派な欅の柱に梁と窓枠も欅かな、見応え有ります! ここに関東管領上杉家、また上杉謙信、景勝、直江兼続と大河ドラマ天地人の世界があったのか！空想巡らせるのもまた楽しめる 宝物殿も謙信、景勝、兼続ゆかりの品もありますから是非見て下さい😊

(Translated by Google) This is a famous temple in Niigata Prefecture. It is where Uesugi Kagekatsu and Naoe Kanetsugu learned and learned from famous monks during their childhood. It is a very quiet place. Admission is 500 yen! There are seasonal stamps available. There are also many Buddhist statues and memorial tablets of Tokugawa Ieyasu and Uesugi Kenshin. (Original) 新潟県にある有名なお寺です。上杉景勝や直江兼続の幼少期、有名なお坊様から学問や教えを学んだところです。とても静かな処です。拝観料５００円❗御朱印も季節バージョンもありました。徳川家康や上杉謙信の位牌や仏像沢山あり。

(Translated by Google) About 5 minutes walk from JR Shiozawa Station. There is also a dedicated parking lot behind the store. I recommend anything, but it's delicious... After all, I want you to start with soy sauce! ! With a counter, table, tatami room, and three sacred treasures, this is a restaurant that will satisfy people of all ages. (Original) JR塩沢駅から徒歩5分くらい。 お店の裏にも専用の駐車場があります。 おすすめは、なんでもおいしいですが…… やっぱり最初は醤油から食べてほしい！！ カウンター、テーブル、座敷と三種の神器も揃っており、幅広い年齢層が満腹になれるお店です。

(Translated by Google) It was my first time there. I went on a Sunday around 1 o'clock and the restaurant was full. Thorough measures were taken to prevent the corona virus. I ordered the miso ramen and ended up adding more corn butter because I didn't know it had corn on it (lol), but it was delicious so I'm very satisfied. There are lots of vegetables under the meat, so you won't feel guilty and it's hearty and filling. The ladies at the store are also very friendly and cheerful. I will go again. (Original) 初めて行きました。日曜の1時頃行きましたが店内は満席。しっかりとコロナ対策もされてました。 味噌ラーメンを注文して、コーンが乗ってるの知らなくてコーンバターを更に追加してしまいました(笑)でも美味しかったのでとても満足です。お肉の下にはたくさん野菜が入っており罪悪感少なめ&ボリューミーで十分お腹いっぱいになります。お店のおばちゃん達もとてもフレンドリーで明るいです。また行きます。

(Translated by Google) There is a restaurant near my workplace, and on my way home from work, I ordered a large serving of green onion miso char siu with spicy toppings and ate it. The sweetness of the vegetables is very delicious and goes perfectly with the miso soup, and the noodles are smooth and bring the soup with you. The chashu is also grilled and aromatic and delicious. The measures against corona infection were perfect so I could eat with peace of mind. I think I'll try the soy sauce flavor next time. (Original) 職場近くにお店があり、仕事帰りに久しぶりにネギ味噌チャーシュー大盛り、トッピングに辛玉を注文し食べました。野菜の甘味とても美味しく味噌スープとの相性抜群で、麺もツルツル感がありスープを持ってきます。チャーシューも焼きが入っており香ばしく旨い。コロナ感染対策もバッチリで安心して食べられました。今度は醤油味にしようと思います。

(Translated by Google) I think it's close to the old style, but the soy sauce has a sweet taste and is sophisticated. I visited the place just after 11:40, and it got more and more crowded after that, and there was a queue. I think the wait and the crowded parking lot guarantee the taste. There was a large sign that said water was self-serve, but even though she was busy, I was impressed by the kindness of the lady who was able to respond to my loud calls for water, please. Thank you for the meal. (Original) 昔系に近いと思いますが、醤油にも甘味が感じられて洗練されています。11:40過ぎにお邪魔しましたがその後どんどん混んできて待ち行列になっていました。待ちと駐車場混み具合が、味を保証していると思います。水はセルフと大きく貼り出してありますが、忙しいのに「水くださーい。」の大声にも見事対応されていたおばちゃんの優しさも感服。ごちそうさまでした。

(Translated by Google) I ate salted char siu noodles and char siu noodles (soy sauce). The salt is ``Tanmen type'' with lots of vegetables and is hearty. Soy sauce has a unique richness and impact. Both were delicious! The char siu is creamy. The surrounding streets are beautiful. (Original) 塩チャーシュー麺とチャーシュー麺（醤油)を食べました。塩は野菜も多く「タンメン系」でボリュームあります。醤油は独特のコクでインパクトあります。どちらも美味しく頂きました！チャーシューはトロトロ系。周辺の街並みは綺麗です。

(Translated by Google) When I searched on Google Maps, I saw high ratings, so I visited for the first time (^-^) It felt like a ramen shop that was loved by the locals. I ordered the soy sauce ramen (^-^) Thin curly noodles in a slightly sweet soup. It's a nostalgic ramen. I drank the soup so much that I could eat it every day (^-^) The char siu was especially delicious (^-^)/I also received a discount coupon on the way back (^-^) The business hours are only 3 hours, so I think you should be careful when visiting (^-^) I will add. Everything is delicious, but salt ramen is the best. The char siu is exquisite! I always want to drink soup (^-^) (Original) Googleマップで検索したら、高い評価でしたので、初めて訪問しました(^-^) 地元に愛されてるラーメン屋さんって感じでした。私は醤油ラーメンを頼みました(^-^)少し甘味のあるスープに縮れた細麺です。 昔懐かしいようなラーメンです。毎日でも食べれるような味わいでスープまで飲み干しましたよ(^-^) とくにチャーシューは絶品でした(^-^)/帰りに割引券もいただきました(^-^) 営業時間は3時間しかありませんので、気をつけて訪問した方が良いと思います(^-^) 追記します。 何でも旨いけど、塩ラーメンが最高に旨いです。 チャーシューが絶品です！ スープまで、いつも飲みほします(^-^)

(Translated by Google) The char siu noodles contain thigh meat and belly meat, so they are well-balanced char siu noodles 🍜 The salt ramen had a lot of stir-fried vegetables and was crunchy and delicious🍜 (Original) チャーシュー麺はモモ肉とバラ肉が入っているのでバランスのチャーシュー麺です🍜 塩ラーメンは野菜が多く炒めた野菜がシャキシャキで美味しかった🍜

Wonderful local restaurant for a delicious dinner. Very homely vibe and friendly service. Thank you!

This restaurant is a little away from Ishiuchi station, located two stations north of the Echigo-Yuzawa bullet train station. This makes this place a little LESS crowded than other outlets, but when I visited here on Wednesday at 6 pm, I had to wait 30 minutes to enter the place, and it took 20 minutes for the food. The food is homemade style, tasty, and low cost. I recommend Fillet Cutlet Dinner (the first choice on the menu)!

Inexpensive hearty food

Incredible food, stir fried vegetables were heavenly

Local place with delicious food, worth visiting.

(Translated by Google) Sekiyama Shokudo in Minamiuonuma, Niigata Prefecture. (202508E) Located along National Route 17, near Ishiuchi Ski Resort. This restaurant had caught my eye while searching for lunch in the area. I arrived 10 minutes before opening, and three cars were already waiting in the parking lot. I arrived on time and ordered the Sekiyama Champon and the Chicken Cutlet Set Meal. [Sekiyama Champon] It wasn't like Nagasaki Champon, but more like a thickened version of the champon toppings. This choice is dangerous in the summer; it's too hot to eat. [Chicken Cutlet Set Meal] The chicken breast is completely lean, which is a delight for women. However, it's not dry and is juicy. First of all, the rice had a slight jar smell. To be honest, that's not something you'd expect in Uonuma, a rice-producing region. The portions of both the ramen and the set meals were small, and the prices were generally on the high side. I think customer satisfaction would be higher if they increased the prices and increased the portions. The current setup doesn't balance the taste, price, and quantity. To give an example, I wouldn't want to come here after skiing when I'm hungry. The taste isn't as bad as people say, though. I didn't want to eat the expensive, bad food at the ski resort, so I looked for a restaurant outside, but there was nowhere to go, so I had no choice but to head north. I wonder if it's like this everywhere around here? (Original) 新潟県南魚沼にある 食堂 関山。（202508E） 国道17号線沿い、石打スキー場から近い。 この付近で昼飯処を探すときに気になっていた店。 開店10分前に到着、既に3台の車が駐車場に居て待っていた。 定刻に入店、〝関山ちゃんぽん〟と〝チキンカツ定食〟をオーダー。 〔関山ちゃんぽん〕 長崎ちゃんぽんのようなのではなく、ちゃんぽんの具にとろみがついたような感じ。 夏にこのチョイスは危険、暑くて食えない。 〔チキンカツ定食〕 女性には嬉しい脂が一切ない胸肉？。 しかしパサつきはなくジューシーな感じ。 まず、ご飯は少しジャーの匂いがした。 正直なところ、米どころ魚沼でこれは無いな。 ラーメンも定食も量が少なく値段は全体的に高め。 もう少し値段を上げて量を多くした方が客の満足度は高いと思う。 今の設定では味と値段と量が見合わない。 感覚的に例えると、腹が減ってるスキー後にここ来ようと思えない。 お味は言うほど悪くないのだけどね。 スキー場の高くてまずい飯を食いたくなくて外の店を探すけど入れるところがなくてやむなく北上してた。この辺りはみんなこんな感じなのかな？

(Translated by Google) Delicious! Portionful! (Small appetites beware! lol) ☀︎ Parking available (approximately 5 spaces) ☀︎ PayPay payment accepted ☀︎ Child-friendly (children's tableware available) ☀︎ Fast service What I personally enjoyed most was the fact that "You can change your noodle dish to a rice dish!! ️✨" lol I recommend the thick sauce! ⚪︎ Spicy miso ramen (← I'm not sure lol) Even though I love spicy food, I ordered it at "half spicy." It was just the right amount of delicious, and I was able to finish it without choking or water!! I'll definitely be back!

Stopped by on my way to Tokamachi. A place to buy local sake, snacks, souvenirs etc. also a restaurant there which i didn't try.

I went here during Fuji Rock season bc couldn't get a taxi to the hotel.. couldn't read the japanese menu so had to order from the pics but the English speaking staff was extremely helpful in not only ordering+using the restroom and stuff but also calling the hotel and arranging a pickup from there (which they said wasn't available via email.. what did he say to make that possible? thank God otherwise I would've walked another 30 min through the mountains).. anyway thank you you kinda saved my life :)

Tourist will probably like here. They sell cheap uni and taco. What i love here is the mochi icecream. So so love it!

My favorite souvenir and snack shop in the area

Delicious but poor service in restaurant

Great collections of local goods, food mainly.

Lots of food from local farmers and people

The pizza was good quality, cooked in a brick oven, and a great price for lunch. Only a thousand yen for the set which included soup and a drink. It's a little run down inside but clean.

Decent Italian restaurant right on the main road. We had a mix of pizza and pastas, all of which were substantial and tasty. Clean plates all around.

good

(Translated by Google) I ordered it again after the coronavirus. Crispy pizza as always. It is recommended to make a reservation as it is loved by locals. The tagliatelle used in Bolognese is hand-made, chewy, and delicious! Oven-baked pizza with crispy dough. I have been bothering you for quite some time now. The appeal of this pizza is that it has toppings that you wouldn't normally eat. This time, the black mushroom pizza has a strong, rich flavor and is delicious! The truffle and shrimp pasta that I always order is also great. Even the desserts are made with pizza dough, making it irresistible for pizza lovers. Plenty of wine too. I think it would be better if there was a little more quantity. It's suitable for women. It's a very delicious restaurant. (Original) コロナ明けリピしました。相変わらずパリパリのピッツァ。地元の人のにも愛されているので予約をした方がいいです。ボロネーゼに使われているタリアテッレが手打ち感があり噛みごたえがあって美味しい！ パリパリの生地の窯焼きピッツァ。かなり前からチョクチョクお邪魔しています。 普通じゃ食べられない具のピッツァが魅力です。今回、黒舞茸のピッツァがシッカリ濃い味で美味しい！いつもオーダーするトリュフと海老のパスタも最高。デザートまでピッツァの生地を使ったものがあり、ピッツァ好きにはたまりません。ワインも豊富。もう少し量があれは…と思うのですが。女性には程よいです。とても美味しいお店です。

(Translated by Google) I had some free time between meetings, so I chose pizza. On this day, I had butterflies and broccoli pizza. It had a bittersweet taste, and I took a big bite of it. It was delicious! Thank you for the meal! (Original) 打ち合わせの合間に少し時間の余裕があったので、ピザをチョイス。 この日は蕗の薹とブロッコリーのピザ。 ほろ苦い味で、大きな一枚をペロリといただきました。 美味しかったです！ ご馳走様でした！

(Translated by Google) We had firewood and stone lunch😊 The set price is 1,320 yen per person and includes salad, drink, pizza, pasta, and dessert. You will be surprised at the high cost performance 😄 The taste is delicious and satisfying. This salad dressing uses a rare and original butterbur. (Original) 薪と石ランチを頂きました😊 一人1320円で、サラダ、ドリンク、ピッツァ、パスタ、デザートがセットです。コスパが高くびっくりします😄味も美味しく満足です。こちらのサラダドレッシングは、珍しいオリジナルの蕗の薹を使ったものです。

(Translated by Google) It's my first time! I received the lunch menu. I don't know if the pizza and pasta change daily or weekly, but this time I had zucchini pizza, cucumber pasta, salad, drinks, dessert, and on this day, I had all-you-can-drink minestrone 😋 It was so delicious 😋🍴🎶 I want to go again! (Original) 初めてです！ランチメニューを頂きました。ピザとパスタは日替わりか1週間かどんなかわり方かわかりませんが、今回はズッキーニのピザとキュウリのパスタ、サラダにドリンク、デザート、この日はミネストローネが飲み放題でした😋 とても美味しかった😋🍴🎶また行きたいです！

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.

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。

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.

This park with a mind-blowing environment enhances the beauty of the city. With breathtaking views, this park adds more value to the city.

Heaven on Earth.. All time favourite place to spear peaceful time

Great park ...near the university.....with Nagaoka castle on the hill....superb view of Nagaoka city from the top

Excellent place for family outing and great place for children to play. Enjoy nature at its best...

It is a bautifull park. Sometime many event are held in this park every season. There are public toilet and parking. 20180915.

Calm place.. children can play and enjoy freely as well as elders..

Beautiful place.. good for kids and family to hangout together

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 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.

The restaurant has English menu: Pizza, Hot dogs, burgers, French fries etc. I tried Pizza and onion fries. The taste is good and ambience is also fine.

The place to dine during the winter season in Urasa , Minamiuonuma City

Awesome variety of great tasting dishes, especially Sunday's Brunch set. Great place to enjoy a meal by yourself, with friends and with family. Great ambience with unique Traditional Japanese architecture

The first bite will blow your mind. The latter takes you to another dimension. Best choice Heaven’s Cafe ⭐️

I expected really good, but I got even better! Excellent service, excellent taste! 5/5, would highly recommend! The Fijan burger is my favorite so far! Tastes like it was made with extra love! The owners are so kind and will pray for you for anything you need. They see many prayers answered after they pray and I just recently saw a lady in that cafe that came in with knee pain get completely healed of it after prayer. Ask them for prayer!

Definitely the most delicious gourmet burger in Uonuma / Minami-uonuma area. Besides the food quality, this place has very beautiful mountain view, facing the Route 17. The chef and staff are friendly and kind. The only reason I took one star out is that relatively this is among the best rather than the single best, considering many gourmet burgers in Tokyo and elsewhere. But this place is definitely the best at least locally. Highly recommended.

I’m from America and pizza is my favorite food and let me tell you Heaven’s Café is 5 stars. I also tasted their delicious gourmet burger and it was awesome. Visit them I promise it’s heavenly. Excellent service and WOW food.

We stumbled across this shop while looking for dinner. Kind hospitality. And the recommended dishes are delicious. ! We enjoyed this delicious dinner. Recommend to everyone.👍 Ps….there’s a carpark beside the restaurant

The day we visited the food was uneven. While the tuna bowl and sashimi were good, the uni in the sushi was low quality and the avocado in the salad was spoiled. The service and atmosphere were nice but the food is more important.

A popular and good place in Muikamachi. The sushi and sashimi were fresh and good.

Very nice place, reasonably priced. I had the chirashi. It was fantastic. My son went back for more and more shrimp tempura.

Having lived in Hokkaido, it was a surprise to find this little gem in Niigata. The food and atmosphere was great for our family.

Good taste and cheap price.

(Translated by Google) I was recommended to try the Honkidon, so I came here to try it. It seems to be a restaurant that serves delicious fish. Anyone who likes fish roe will be raving about it. I had the Wasabi Pork Bowl, which had a refined flavor. My friend told me to focus on the rice, so I savored it slowly, but it seems my palate prefers Uonuma to Aizu. (Original) 本気丼が！と進められて食べに来ました。お魚がおいしいお店のようです。魚卵が好きな方なら絶賛するでしょう。山葵豚丼を頂きましたが、お上品な味わいでした。米に注目して食べてと、友人には言われていたのでじっくりと味わいましたが、私の舌は魚沼＞会津のようです。

A great place to find grilled meat. The meat is high quality, delicious, and has a wide variety. The staff is attentive. The price can be a bit high, but there are no free drinks. However, the taste is excellent and it's suitable for both solo and family gatherings.

Good quality beef. Sometimes the special is overpriced so sticking with the basics is great. But for special occasions go for the specials. Great for small groups. But you need reservations as this is a really popular spot. So tasty!

So love their majidon!

Best beef menu in minamiuonuma

Love the taste of the grilled pork meat

Awesome 👌

(Translated by Google) At first glance, it looks like they're closed. I visited for lunch and the "Wine Wagyu Rare Steak Bowl @ 1,480" was great value for money. (Original) 一見やってないのかな？って外観。 ランチで訪問しましたが「ワイン和牛レアステーキ丼@1,480」はコスパ◎

One of the best I have ever had. Very accommodating, especially to one of us who does not eat raw food. Chef and staff were all very friendly and the atmosphere was relaxing. We were served approximately 19-20 courses each. Great value and selection of beverages.

The food here is delicate and beautifully balanced — not the usual heavy, overpowering flavors, but a thoughtful interplay of subtle tastes that blend seamlessly. For the price, the quality and quantity offered are exceptional. The storefront is charming, and inside, the space feels intimate and cozy, seating just nine guests. Service is both tactful and warmly sincere. The chef is clearly passionate about his craft; despite the language barrier and us being likely one-time visitors, he took the time to explain each course through photos and gestures, making us feel genuinely welcomed.

You must give a try if you are staying somewhere not too far away. You should pick the ¥10,000 omakase if you visit there for dinner. I am impressed by the overall experience including the quality of food and the service provided by the staff.

This was our favourite meal in Niigata. The seafood was so fresh and the service was excellent. Value for money was fantastic. We will definitely come back.

For sure this is the best sushi restaurant I have ever visited. Please check the photographs as words can barely define the experience.

this was really great! we had a very nice first omakase experience and would recommend it to anyone thinking of doing it! thanks to the team for a lovely evening!

unless you call and book in advance they don’t even open and other than japanese land line there is no way to contact them

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.

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) A facility located in Yuzawa Nakazato, Niigata Prefecture. Forest Adventure Yuzawa Nakazato Fun for both adults and children. Thorough safety measures were in place, so I felt safe. However, it might not be suitable for those with a fear of heights. (Original) 新潟県、湯沢中里にある施設。 『フォレストアドベンチャー　湯沢中里』 大人も子供も楽しめます。 安全対策もしっかりしていて安心できました。 ただ高所恐怖症の方は無理かな〜

(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。

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

(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.

A wonderful experience. The place is humble, beautiful, in natural surroundings. The food was exquisite. Tasteful, subtle, honest and made with love. Real artistry created from local ingredients. The people who run the establishment were so welcoming, friendly and eager to please us. Highest regard and recommendation.

The place is superb for family and friends with Japanese cuisines. They also have private space for groups. I tried udon here and the taste was delicious. The difficult part; if you are walking or cycling here, the place lies bit upslope. However, they have ample parking place available.

Locating in a beautiful place, nice surroundings, tasty food. Best soba and fish soup I’ve ever had.

I ate fish and soba. Fish is too good. Soba is above the average for me (may be because personally I don't like soba). My friend said that it was good.

Definitely worth the drive!

One of the best restaurants anywhere. Unique!

(Translated by Google) A colleague at work recommended this place to me. The first time, it was lunchtime and too crowded, so I couldn't find a parking space and gave up. I went again the next day, right at opening time. Everyone else was seated in the tatami room, but I went alone. They told me they had chairs available, and since I have a bad leg, a tatami seat would have been difficult, so I gratefully accepted. This time, I chose the tempura and cold soba. The condiments were brought out first. I was surprised to hear that they added walnuts to the soup, but they added a delicious accent. The thinly sliced ​​soba noodles were glossy and had a very elegant feel. The not-too-sweet broth went perfectly with the soba. The tempura mainly consisted of wild vegetables, and my favorite was the myoga ginger! It was so delicious I want to try it at home. The only thing that was a bit disappointing was that the soba soup was a little watery because it was right after opening. Next time, I'd like to try the coarsely ground cold soba, so I'm considering waiting in line at a different time just to have the soba soup. (Original) 職場の同僚が勧めてくれました。初回は昼時で混み過ぎていて、駐車場に車を停められなくて断念。日を改めて開店時間ピッタリに行きました。 皆さん座敷席に案内されていましたが、私は1人で行ったのですが「椅子席もありますよ」と声をかけていただき、足が悪くて座敷席は厳しかったのでありがたく椅子席にさせてもらいました。 今回は天ざるをチョイス。先に薬味が運ばれてきました。汁に胡桃を入れると聞いてビックリしましたが、アクセントになって美味しかったです。 細切りのお蕎麦はツヤツヤで、とても上品な感じ。あまり甘くない汁が、蕎麦に良く合いました。天ぷらは山菜が中心で、私が一番好きだったのは茗荷です！あれは家でも真似したいくらい美味しかったです。 ちょっと残念だったのは、開店直後のため蕎麦湯が薄かった事でしょうか。次回は粗挽きざるも食べてみたいので、蕎麦湯のために時間をずらして並んで食べようか迷うところです。

Great eating choice while you are on the slopes. They have a varied menu with both Japanese classics (katsu, curry) but also Hamburg steak and fries. Prices are reasonable considering it's up the mountain. They also have a selection of desserts but I wouldn't have coffee there again. The place is very specious with plenty of radiators to dry clothes although beware of the wet windows!

We used this restaurant after moving from the Gala Yuzawa area by 3-mountains lift tickets. This restaurant was not as busy as that in the Gala Yuzawa area. We enjoyed beer, and the food looked like a European Ski resort.

Excellent lunch spot and great views

a lot of choice

(Translated by Google) We use it for a break while playing at the top of the mountain. Beer, potatoes, and nozawana. It was here that I realized how delicious Nozawana from Niigata was and decided to take it as a souvenir on my way home. Niigata has delicious ingredients and water, so the quality is high. I also had cutlet curry, but it was a little expensive. (Original) 山頂遊びの休憩に利用させていただいています。 ビールにポテト、野沢菜。 ここで新潟の野沢菜の美味しさに気づいて帰りのお土産にしました。 新潟は食材と水がおいしいのでクオリティが高いです。 カツカレーもいただきましたが少しお高めです。

(Translated by Google) I went to the ski slopes for the first time in 6-7 years...and then I went to the ski resort ``Rest House Spur'' that I used to use often...I was happy that they remembered my face even though it had been a while. It's the best service. It was just as delicious as boiled offal and curry. Of course, great weather and a great location. We had a great time. (Original) 6-7年振りにゲレンデに・・ついでに以前よく使わせて頂いていたゲレ食「レストハウスシュプール」さんへ・・久々にもかかわらず顔を覚えていただいていた事が嬉しかった。最高のサービスです。 もつ煮、カレーと変わらぬ美味しさでした。 もちろん最高の天気、最高のロケーション。楽しいひと時を過ごさせていただきました。

(Translated by Google) It's right in front of the mountaintop high-speed lift, and the view from the high glass window is spectacular. The staff is cheerful and the food is served quickly. An authentic restaurant where you can easily end up drinking too much. Draft beer is really delicious. ❤️ (Original) 山頂高速リフトの真ん前で、高いガラス窓から見る景色は最高です。スタッフも明るく提供も早い。ついつい飲みすぎてしまう本格レストラン。生ビールは本当に美味しい。❤️
