Ski & Snowboard Areas
Ishiuchi Maruyama Ski Resort is a small ski area that boasts well-maintained trails and a snowboard park. Visitors can also rent equipment and dine at multiple onsite options. Despite unpredictable weather, the resort remains an enjoyable destination for families with its convenient location near Tokyo and great facilities.
Great place for snow sports an hour away from Tokyo. One day pass around 60€ and many restaurants on spot with normal prices. Many slopes and slope ranges

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.
Sean T — Google review
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.
T F — Google review
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.
Jem ( — Google review
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.

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!
G — Google review
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.

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.

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!

ECHIGO YUZAWA STATION

(74)
Train station
Echigo Yuzawa Station is a convenient stop on the Joetsu Shinkansen line, easily accessible from Tokyo. It's renowned for its natural hot springs and has become a popular ski destination due to its accessibility from Tokyo. The station serves as the main gateway to the area and offers various activities year-round, including hiking, camping, skiing, and snowboarding. Additionally, it's a confluence of the Shinkansen train and local train network in Niigata.
A day trip from Tokyo to explore Yuzawa offers a quick getaway, just 70 minutes from Tokyo Station on the Joetsu Shinkansen Toki. This train is faster than the Tanigawa, making fewer stops along the way. Inside the station is CoCoLo Yuzawa, a plaza with a variety of shops & restaurants offering local specialties. Next to it is Ponshukan Marketplace, specializing in a diverse range of Niigata food & sake — an excellent spot for picking up souvenirs. Just outside the station’s West Exit is Echigo Yuzawa Onsen Street, a charming area lined with shops & restaurants, perfect for experiencing the town’s hot spring culture.

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
Muhammad P — Google review
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).
Grant M — Google review
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.
Stray L — Google review
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.
TAHIR C — Google review
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.
Pankaj R — Google review
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.
Trotting H — Google review
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.

Maiko Snow Resort is a winter sports destination that offers skiing and snowboarding, equipment rentals, and a hotel with dining facilities. The resort can be reached by taking the Shinkansen and shuttle bus. Despite being busy on weekends, guests have plenty of choices for brand-name snowboard rentals, with around 30 minutes wait time for the gondola. Once at the top, visitors can enjoy hours of snow activities in the soft white powder.
We took Shinkansen + Shuttle bus to arrive Maiko Snow Resort at around 10am, and it was already full of skiiers ~ the snowboard rental provided lots of choice of different brands. As it was a busy weekend, the wait for gondola was around 30min. However, once reaching the top you can spend hours there.

Kevin U — Google review
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.

Daniel H — Google review
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.
Tony C — Google review
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.
N K — Google review
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.

David C — Google review
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.
Ian B — Google review
Nice ski resort with many slopes which are interconnected to the other resort too. They have night skiing too but only for 2 slopes.
Div — Google review
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.

Shiozawa Juku Bokushi Street, located on the old road connecting Gunma and Niigata, has been restored to showcase its historical charm. Once a dilapidated postwar shopping street, it has undergone significant improvement with many old shops relocating to new buildings. While there are some tourist-oriented establishments such as cafes, ramen shops, sake breweries, and souvenir stores, the area manages to maintain an authentic atmosphere without being overly touristy.
Enjoying beautiful town walk through the Shiozawa-juku! From the web site; Shiozawa-juku flourished as a post town along the Mikuni Highway connecting Edo and Echigo, and developed as a production center for specialty textiles such as Echigo Jofu (Important Intangible Cultural Property) and Shiozawa Tsumugi (Traditional Craft). It is also known as one of the heaviest snowfall areas in the country.

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.

(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😊

Ramen restaurant
Sakai-ya Ramen House is a delightful spot that captures the essence of traditional ramen with a modern twist. On my recent visit, I was greeted by a warm and friendly atmosphere, despite the bustling crowd on a Sunday afternoon. The restaurant takes health precautions seriously, ensuring diners can enjoy their meals safely. I opted for the miso ramen and added corn butter for an extra touch; it turned out to be a delicious choice!
(Translated by Google) I ate a double of miso ramen and soy sauce ramen and bought a souvenir of char siu for 500 yen. It was 2110 yen. Perfect infection control. The turnover of customers in the store is fast, and even if you wait in line, the wait time is not that bothersome. The char siu is also creamy and delicious. (Original) 味噌ラーメンと醤油ラーメンのダブルを食べてお土産チャーシュー500円を買ってきました。 2110円でした。 感染対策バッチリ。 店の客の回転も早く、並んで待っていても気になる程の待ち時間ではありません。 チャーシューもトロトロで美味しいですよ。

(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(^-^)

Nestled a bit away from Ishiuchi Station, Sekiyama is a hidden gem that promises an unforgettable dining experience. With its cozy atmosphere and friendly service, this local eatery offers generous portions of homemade-style dishes that are both delicious and budget-friendly. The menu features a variety of options, including the highly recommended Fillet Cutlet Dinner and flavorful Champon, which has quickly become a favorite among visitors.
Came here after reading good reviews that 'everything is good' in this restaurant & I agree 100%. Everything we ordered was super delicious & in big serving portion. We had Pork Fillet Tonkatsu, Katsudon, Champon, Gyoza, Fried Tofu, Fried Chicken Wings & Karaage. Champon was really tasty & my personal favorite. English menu is available. All of us had such an enjoyable & satisfying meal. Highly recommend!

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)!

(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?

I visited Uono no Sato during the Fuji Rock season as I couldn't find a taxi to my hotel. The Japanese menu was difficult to read, so I had to order based on pictures. Fortunately, the English-speaking staff were incredibly helpful not only with ordering and using the restroom but also with calling my hotel and arranging a pickup. This option wasn't available through email, and I'm grateful for their assistance as it saved me from walking an additional 30 minutes through the mountains.
Delicious food, excellent service.

If you're on the hunt for a delightful Italian dining experience, look no further than Makitoishi. This charming restaurant has garnered a loyal following among locals, and it's easy to see why! Their crispy oven-baked pizzas are simply irresistible, featuring unique toppings that tantalize the taste buds. The hand-made tagliatelle served with Bolognese sauce is another highlight—chewy and bursting with flavor.
A popular Italian restaurant that uses fresh locally grown produce. Lunch special is very cheap that included a fresh salad, small plate of spaghetti, pizza and dessert. Although atm there is no English menu Maki to Ishi is currently updating their website that will include an English menu. Highly recommend this restaurant and is now my new favourite. You can also buy local food to take home such as hemp nuts, hemp oil, garlic oil, salad dressing, pasta plus more.

(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.

Muikamachi Hakkaisan Ski is a charming ski resort nestled in the picturesque Yuzawa-Ishitaruyama Ski Area of Niigata, Japan. This destination is perfect for both skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts, featuring narrow yet thrilling slopes that cater to those seeking steep descents and moguls. While it may not boast an extensive variety of runs, the available trails are more than sufficient for a satisfying day on the mountain.
Hakkaisan is a mountain I have been wanting to snowboard for many years. We didn’t get a powder day but could imagine how epic it would be on a powder day. We were able to duck into the trees and off to the sides and still find fresh even though it hadnt snowed for a few days. We counted about 30 other people on the mountain.

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.
Therese W — Google review
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.

Nestled in a picturesque mountain village at the base of Mt. Hakkaisan, the Tomioka White Museum is a hidden gem that art enthusiasts should not miss. Upon arrival, you might find it a bit tricky to locate the entrance due to its expansive layout and lack of signage, but rest assured, it's worth the search! Inside this charming space, you'll discover an impressive collection of monochrome paintings showcasing Soichiro Tomioka's unique artistic techniques.
I came from France expecially to visit the Tomioka museum. A perfect place for this marvellous artist ! I was so happy to have the chance to see so much paintings in one place. I hope to come back in ten years to discover others. Thank you.

Yiyi F — Google review
(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.

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

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。

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.

Yaironomori Park, located in Urasa, Niigata Prefecture, is a popular destination for families and nature enthusiasts. The park features a large stage providing shade, perfect for setting up base during the Minamiuonuma Gourmet Marathon or simply enjoying a relaxing day. Visitors can admire the beauty of the park's big pond and flowing streams while making use of the brick BBQs and designated picnic areas.
One of the best parks in the area. A giant stage provides shade in summer and is a popular place to set up base for the day. There is a big pond and a few streams flowing around. The bbq area has brick BBQs which can be reserved as well as a sink for washing. There are a selection of different climbing frames for kids and some trampoline-like bouncy cushions. There are also a few giant balls around which kids can borrow and play with. Masses of space to run around and tire out little legs. There is an interesting little museum in the far corner. The winery is just over the road for wine tasting or a delicious lunch, and the Yummy gelato shop is a short walk away if cold refreshments are required.

Nature & Parks
Zenibuchi Park is a charming oasis located on the outskirts of Muikamachi, nestled against the backdrop of Mount Sakado. This delightful park features a serene lake where families can enjoy feeding ducks and koi fish, making it an ideal spot for children. A well-maintained path meanders around the landscaped grounds, which come alive with vibrant cherry and plum blossoms in springtime. While there are no play structures for kids, they will surely delight in tossing bread to the fish.
Everything blooms in its own time.

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.

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.

Hamburger restaurant
Heaven's Cafe, or ヘヴンズカフェ, is a delightful culinary gem that brings a taste of America to Japan. Run by an American expat and his Japanese wife, this charming eatery offers mouthwatering American-style pizza alongside gourmet burgers and hot dogs. Nestled in the picturesque Uonuma/Minami-uonuma area, diners can enjoy stunning mountain views while savoring their meals. The friendly staff adds to the welcoming atmosphere, making every visit feel special.
The staff can speak really good English, and there were a lot of nostalgic menu items like brownies that can be hard to find in Japan. The vegetarian menu is pretty small however, for vegetarians the choices are pizza, curry or fries. The food was good though, very reasonably priced and quick.

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.

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 can have your catch char-grilled on the spot or even try catching a fish by hand. Located just 10 minutes from Yuzawa IC exit of the expressway, it's an accessible destination open from late April to early November.

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.

(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。

Yuzawa Museum of History and Folklore Yukiguni-kan is a small yet fascinating museum located in the heart of Yuzawa. Housed in a traditional gabled farmhouse made of keyaki wood, it was established around 1935 and showcases artifacts from Jomon period sites, old folk tools, equipment, and even a fossil Calyptogena dating back 4 million years.
A must-visit place if you’ve read Kawabata Yasunari’s novel Snow Country. The scenes from the book came vividly to mind — this is the very heart of Echigo-Yuzawa.

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.

(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。

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) 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.

(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。

If you're hitting the slopes, Restaurant Spur is a fantastic dining option that shouldn't be missed. Nestled conveniently near the mountaintop high-speed lift, this spacious eatery boasts stunning views through its large glass windows. The menu offers a delightful mix of Japanese favorites like katsu and curry alongside hearty options such as Hamburg steak and fries, all at reasonable prices for a mountain locale.
Great music taste, great food, great view, and a great sculpture(?) on the third floor

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!

Park
Noborikawa Riverside Park offers a soft ground for camping, but campers should be cautious of small holes and gravel areas. The park features separate toilets for men and women, as well as wheelchair accessibility. It provides a great panoramic view of Mt. Kinjo and Mt. Makiki, with nearby amenities such as a 7-Eleven and day-trip hot spring facilities.
(Translated by Google) Someone was cleaning up the park. Yesterday, some young people who were playing music and enjoying a BBQ left a lot of trash behind. I'm from Chiba Prefecture, but this is the first time I've seen such a beautiful and wonderful river park. The kids loved it too, and they played in the river two days in a row. Leave it cleaner than when we arrived! The only things you should leave behind are footprints and words of gratitude. I hope people will abide by the rules and continue to use the park for a long time to come. (Original) 公園を清掃されている方がおりました。 昨日音楽を鳴らしてBBQを楽しんでいた若者達が、かなりのゴミを残していきました。 千葉県の人間ですが、こんなに綺麗で素晴らしい河川公園は初めてです。 子供達も気に入って、2日連続で川遊びしました。 来た時より綺麗に!残して良いのは足跡と感謝のみ。 モラルを守って、末永く利用したいものです。

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.

(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

Mountains
Mt. Makihata is a remote mountain with an elevation of 1,967 meters that offers marked hiking trails and breathtaking views. Beyond the forest limit, visitors can hike along the ridgeline and enjoy panoramic vistas of the famous 100 famous mountains from its peak. The summit can be identified by a mountain sign at Mikiya, while the real peak can be reached by walking towards Ushigatake from Cologne.
We started our hike to Mount Markeyhatha around 11:00 a.m. after finding a convenient parking spot for 500 yen per day. The hike was quite challenging, with steep sections and sunny weather throughout, but it made for a rewarding experience. The trail had a total of 7 or 8 stations, and we started from the 3rd station. After some tough but enjoyable hiking, we reached our shelter at around 5:00 p.m. There's a free mountain refuge where you can stay overnight, and though small, it comfortably accommodates several hikers. The shelter had two floors, and after having some food, we rested early around 6:00 p.m. The next morning, we woke up at 4:00 a.m. to a breathtaking view of the stars. After a short 30-minute hike, we reached the summit of Mount Markeyhatha just in time to witness the sunrise. It was absolutely mesmerizing—one of the most beautiful sunrises I’ve ever seen. I highly recommend this hike, especially for the sunrise views, but would advise avoiding the rainy season as the trail can become wet and muddy. Overall, an incredible experience and one of the best hikes I've done so far!

(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。

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.

(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) 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) By signing up at the local information centre, you can take part in a tour of the inspection gallery, an inspection passageway at the bottom of the dam's embankment. We were given an easy-to-understand explanation of the dam, which was a valuable experience. The underground discharge channel was particularly impressive. Apparently May is the time when the water level is lowered in preparation for summer, so we were able to see a scene where a large amount of water is being discharged. If you're so inclined, you can get soaked just from the spray and wind pressure. (Original) 現地の情報館で申し込みすることで、監査廊というダム堤体下部の点検用通路の見学ツアーに参加できます。わかりやすくダムの説明もしていただけて貴重な体験でした。 中でも地下放水路は圧巻の迫力でした。5月は夏場に向けて水位を下げる時期だそうで、ちょうど放水量が多い場面を見学できたようです。その気になれば水飛沫と風圧だけで濡れ鼠になれます。
進藤克実 — Google review
(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) A tour of the auditorium can be enjoyed by both children and adults. If you take the elevator down 100 meters underground, you will find yourself in a different dimension where the temperature is 10 degrees Celsius even in midsummer. You can eat dum curry at the nearby product center. (Original) 監査廊見学は、子供から大人まで楽しめます。 エレベーターで地下100㍍に降りたら、そこは真夏でも10℃の異次元空間です。 近くの物産センターで、ダムカレー食べれます。

(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。

Mt. Hakkai is a sacred peak that has been revered for centuries and can be reached by either hiking or taking a tramway. Its scenic views of the surrounding countryside from the summit are breathtaking. It is located along a customer route, making it easily accessible to visitors who wish to experience its natural beauty and historical significance.

(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
ロシャ — Google review
(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。

$$$$cheap
Sushi restaurant
Sushioka in Minami-uonuma is renowned for its irresistible sashimi rice bowl, priced at 1200 yen per serving. This delectable dish consists of an abundance of fresh sashimi and the added bonus of complimentary extra rice upon request. It stands out as the ultimate lunch option in town, offering a kaisendon set that includes side dishes and a serving of miso soup, all at a reasonable cost.
That’s the sashimi rice 🍚 bowl you couldn’t refuse. ¥1200/ bowl and full of fresh sashimi and most importantly, you can have extra rice when ordering free of charge!!!!
Corleon — Google review
Best lunch option in Minami-uonuma. They offer kaisendon for 1,200jpy now. There was a time when it was just 700jpy. Comes with side dishes and miso soup.
PH C — Google review
[August 2, 2023] We went to Sushioka before the fireworks in Nagaoka. Because we arrived at 11:30, we were able to park in the parking lot in front of the restaurant. Also, we were shown in without waiting. 11:33am the restaurant was full, and there was a line. We came here to have a seafood rice bowl (Maji-Don: 1,300 yen). This was the only lunch available. So, when we sat down, we were suddenly asked by the Owner-Chef how much rice we wanted. The explanation began with the largest portion: 2 cups for the large portion and 1.5 cups for the medium portion. I asked for a normal serving of 1 cup, and my wife asked for a small serving. The rice was indeed delicious. It looked like vinegared rice, but the vinegar was subdued. The ingredients were plentiful. Tuna, hamachi, crab, horse mackerel, octopus, salmon roe, negitoro, yam, red clams, Bizen jellyfish.... Each was fresh and did not feel like a restaurant in the mountain area. Although it was not large enough to enjoy each individual ingredient, I enjoyed the harmony of the multiple ingredients as I ate it like chirashi-sushi. The taste changed every time I ate it. The price was the same for a large portion, but be warned that it only increases the amount of rice. I recommend to visit Sushioka in combination with Tanada-Tanaike in the nearby Yamakoshi area.

Ramen restaurant
Nestled in the heart of Shiozawa, Dosanko Shiozawa R17 is a beloved eatery that has stood the test of time. Known for its extensive menu, this popular spot often sees eager patrons lining up before opening hours on weekends. The highlight here is undoubtedly their Origin Miso Ramen, which boasts a rich and flavorful broth with hints of spice and roasted notes.

John S — Google review
(Translated by Google) As expected from a popular store! Several people line up before the opening on Saturday. The menu is extensive and there are set meals as well, and they all look delicious so you'll be spoiled for choice! I verbally ordered Origin Miso Ramen for 803 yen. The soup is rich and rich, with a slightly spicy and roasted flavor. A wide variety of vegetables are boiled and crunchy! The noodles are yellow, straight, medium-thin noodles that are hard-cooked and have a smooth texture. There are many types of gyoza, and you need to take your number tag to the cash register! (Original) 流石の人気店!土曜オープン前から数人並びます。メニューが豊富で定食もあり、どれも旨そうで迷いますね! 原点味噌ラーメン803円を口頭注文。 スープは濃厚コクもあり、少しピリ辛で焙煎風味がします。 野菜は多種類で茹でてありシャキシャキ! 麺は黄色のストレート中細麺で、硬めの茹で加減、つるっと食感。 餃子の種類も豊富、会計は番号札を持ってレジへ!

(Translated by Google) Miso ramen makes me feel nostalgic for some reason. The volume of vegetables is even more powerful with garlic on the table. The white rice is really delicious. If you add char siu toppings, there will be quite a lot of it. This is a good deal! The store is kept clean, so it's great for families. (Original) なぜか懐かしく感じる味噌ラーメン。 野菜のボリュームあり卓上のニンニクでさらにパワーアップ。 白いご飯がめちゃうまいです。 チャーシュートッピングするとかなりの量がのります。これはお得! 店内は清潔に保たれてるので家族連れにもいいですね。

(Translated by Google) 2025.4.23 It was my first time going since it was renovated. I got late at work and it's open until late. I stopped by. I had the miso ramen and special gyoza. The miso ramen, as well as the special gyoza, were handmade and very delicious. 2025.4.28 I stopped by again because I was late at work. I am grateful that I am working until late. It's crowded tonight. I had the stir-fried meat and vegetable set meal. It's 1000 yen excluding tax and has a large portion. Rice used to be delicious, but it can't be helped that the quality has gone down due to the recent rise in rice prices. I was able to go home with a full stomach. (Original) 2025.4.23 リニューアルしてから初めて行きました。 仕事で遅くなり、夜遅く迄営業しているので 寄りました。味噌󠄀ラーメンと特製餃子をいただきました。味噌󠄀ラーメンはもちろん、特製餃子は手作りでとても美味しかったです。 2025.4.28 また仕事で遅くなったので寄りました。遅く迄やっているので、有り難い。今夜は混んでいる。肉野菜炒め定食をいただきました。税抜き1000円で、ボリューム有り。ご飯は、昔は美味しかったが、最近の米高騰で質が下がる のは、しょうがない。おなかいっぱいで帰ることが出来ました。

(Translated by Google) Dosanko has been around in Shiozawa for a long time. I've only been going since it was renovated, so I don't know what it used to be like... There aren't any Dosanko restaurants nearby, and for miso chains (franchises), I go to Ogiya Ramen, so I always feel like something's different. (lol) The regular miso was lighter than I expected, and somehow unsatisfying. The special miso? was richer and more delicious. I prefer Ogiya's noodles. Since it's Shiozawa, I want to say the rice is delicious, but it's just average. There aren't many restaurants open until this time, so I find it useful when I'm passing by. (Original) 塩沢に古くからあるどさん子。行くのは新しくなってから、なので昔は知りません…。どさん子が身近になく、味噌のチェーン(FC系)だとおおぎやラーメンに行くので、なんか違うな?って思いながら食べてます(笑) 普通の味噌は思ったよりあっさり目、なんか物足りない感じ。特製味噌?は濃さが増して美味しく感じました。麺はおおぎやの方が好みです。塩沢なのでコメが美味い!!と言いたいのですが普通なような。この時間までやってる飲食店が少ないので通る時は重宝しています。

(Translated by Google) Visited on September 8, 2025. This was my first visit since the restaurant was renovated. It's been a few years. For better or worse, it was average. The ramen had a nostalgic, old-fashioned flavor. ★2.5 The set meal was well-portioned, the taste was decent, and the value for money was good, so ★3.5 I wouldn't say I wouldn't come back, but it's fine for an occasional visit.

(Translated by Google) I stopped by here on a business trip because I wanted to eat ramen. It was quite late so I looked into it and found that this was the only ramen place open nearby. It's open late so it's convenient. When I think of "Dosanko", I only think of the old stores, but it seems to have been renovated and is really nice, and ordering by tablet is now popular. All the Dosanko stores in my local area have closed down so it's been decades since I've had a Dosanko, but it was delicious. I think 730 yen for a bowl of miso ramen is quite cheap. (Original) 出張の際、ラーメンが食べたくなり訪問。 そこそこ遅い時間帯だったので調べたらラーメン屋はここくらいしか近くでは開いてませんでした。遅くまでやってるので便利です。 『どさん子』と言えば古い店舗ばかり思い出しますがリニューアルされたようでめちゃくちゃキレイだし、タブレットで注文も今流行りです。 自分の地元のどさん子は全て閉店してしまってどさん子自体が数十年ぶりでしたが美味しかったです。 味噌ラーメンで一杯730円はかなり安い方だと思います。

(Translated by Google) I had the classic miso ramen at the historic Dosanko Shiozawa branch, which had a very nostalgic taste and was delicious. I also had the motsu stew, which was very tasty. The other limited-time menu items looked delicious, and I wanted to try them too. The value for money is also good, and if I lived nearby, it's a restaurant I'd go to every day. (Original) 歴史ある どさん子 塩沢店 定番の味噌ラーメンをいただき、とても懐かし味で美味しかったです。モツ煮もいただきました、とても美味しかったです。他限定メニューも美味しそうで食べたかったです。 コスパも良くて、近所だったら毎日通いたいお店です。
