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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Avalanches on 5th April damaged the great scene. Hugh piles of mud are everywhere blocking the view of the Kiyotsu Gorge. BTW, JPY200 discount for admission fee is given.

Went here on a tour bus. The area was really beautiful. It was a fun experience walking through the tunnel. Loved the cool air inside too. Enjoyed the art installations the most. It really was fun having your picture taken with those gorgeous backgrounds.

A super spectacular view. Just make sure you get there right as it opens or there is a potential of you standing in line for over an hour inside of the tunnel to see the very end. In my opinion it is not worth standing in the line just for a photo opportunity. If you choose not to wait in line you can walk past line to take a picture of the end of the tunnel. There is a shuttle that takes you back and forth to the parking lot on top of the hill however, it is quite the weight in between pick up and drop off.

It's a place to visit if you are close by. Other than few locations to take good social media photos there is not much to do Good place for a family visit

End of 800 meters tunnel is lookout for valley. Instagrammable place for tourists.

Beautiful place with more natural scenery. Entrry fee 800 . You will be walking inside tunnel for 800m and at the end you will be seeing this valley view point. Now due to corona registration is required.buy tickets at 7/11 or online in advance

Worth a visit. Easy walk. Nice soba shop at entrance and coffee too.

It's worth visiting by train, you need to be careful about the timetable since Iiyama Line only goes one way. There's an onsen on the same building so you can pretty much spend all day in here.

Went on a weekend, there wasn’t a lot of people but the exhibition is interesting and fun to walk through. The place is very quiet and it is a good getaway from the heat.

Interesting place for the Echigo Tsumari Art Festival. We came here on the first day of the festival, obviously some art installations were not yet set up. But still had some great artworks to share and experience.

Nice museum.. It's definitely worth visiting

Small but very cool museum.

Unexpectedly interesting art museum. Definitely worth a visit. The outdoor pool is beautiful with the snow falling.

Incredible museum!

I visited this Museum as a part of my study tour at Niigata. The Museum is beautifully decorated with 1500 years old flame style potary. The key attractions for me were digital visit of Hunting and gathering age, the family life of Japan in Niigata city during Heavy snowfall and video documentary... Highly recommended for visiting

Really interesting museum and lots of Expedition, which are shown in an extremely unique way. highly recommend it.

An excellent museum to visit, it worth the trip. They have many national treasures on display and they are all exquisite. Other displays are interesting too. I wish I had more time here. You can spend all day if you like Jomon era things. As some of the Jomon Doki was on lease and I could not view, I will definitely returning here.

Great exhibitions.of pottery, textiles and snow. Fun way to learn some history of the region.

Pottery from the Jomon period, a national treasure of Japan, is on display here. You will be amazed at the artistic sense of the ancient Japanese. There is a lot of pottery on display, and it is a wonderful place to appreciate these objects. In addition, the lifestyle and industry of the region are displayed in an easy-to-understand manner.

Worth a visit, very well made. The exhibitions are very easy to understand and provides all information in English. Entrance fee is only 500 yen. Enjoy!

Amazing to find such an interesting museum in country side. It’s brand new and have English explanations Very cool to see the history of this area

Came here on 2 Dec and the leaves have mostly all fallen, but the place is still beautiful. Not a big area but still pretty serene and enjoyable!

Tranquil forest. Worth the drive out here to soak in nature. Also unexpectedly, Great spot for mushroom spotting. Don't eat them. Many are poisonous

This is the furthest I can go by the Google. The snow is like 6m height and you won’t be able to go to there.

A beautiful place worth a visit. Took slightly longer time and more effort to walk around the forest during winter time due to thick snow. But the scenery are quite impressive with all the trees are almost identical in height.

Enjoying a beautiful beechwood forest trekking at the Bijin Hayashi, Tokamachi, Niigata. The reason Forest Bath allows you to relax is because the minus ions, that are in a forest, give people's bodies energy.

Beautiful forest. All tree started growing at the same time around the 1920s. Two farm stands outside are fun too

Really pretty area. There is a bus that runs from the nearby station towards the Onsen, and you can get off and then it’s a 20 min walk.

Beautiful terraced rice fields This place is famous for its beautiful terraced rice fields. From web site Terraced fields are a form of rice field mainly used in mountainous areas. They are built to allow farming on steep slopes and to control water flow. It is also a popular tourist destination due to its scenic and cultural value. They are also important for preserving regional specialties and traditional agricultural methods.

I think it must be incredibly beautiful during summer, unfortunately right now as you can see on the picture we don’t see everything due to the snow ! Still a nice little walk to do :)

100% worth coming here, the view of the rice terraces and surrounding hills/mountains is absolutely amazing. I recommend renting an e-bike from Matsudai station and biking here. It's a quick 30-40 minute ride and you can see some nice scenery on the way as well.

My first terraced rice field… I went in summer but would love to see it too on fall or winter (with snow).

One more bucket list completed. I am in love with this beautiful place, what a view of stacked rice fields and mountains just amazing. This please is good to visit in Summer for lush green view to cool your eyes, and in winter for autumn colours.

Has been my favourite place to come to and photograph the rice terraces. The sunrise here is absolutely magical. However I must say that I am absolutely appalled by how loud and unmannered many japanese are. It's understandable that children are yet to learn to control their voice, but a grown person should be fully capable of doing so. Is it really necessary to shout the obvious to each other over and over disrupting the peaceful moments? Getting in front of the your camera with blatant disregard and then prancing about is seriously obnoxious. Doesn't matter if you token apologise and slightly bow - it doesn't make you well mannered, rather quite the opposite. I see many reviewes of landmarks always mentioning foreigners being loud, however it's japanese who has bad manners themselves in the first place! Shame!!

The snow was quite deep, even with our boots on. We got to the edge and we’re rewarded with a great view. I’d like to visit again with slightly less snow and at night to see the night sky reflect!

(Translated by Google) First visit in a while. This is the first time since the store moved. I think it used to be like an izakaya, but it has been relocated to a new, spacious and modern place. You can choose from two types of racha, which is available only on weekdays: tonkotsu and niboshi soy sauce. The half-fried rice is also solid and recommended. Noodles that are neatly put together have firm corners and are chewy. The dipping sauce has a nice sweetness and taste of dried sardines. There was no mention of the soup discount on the menu, but when I went to the staff, she brought me the soup. Despite being cheap, gyoza are very delicious with the sweetness of the meat and vegetables and the spices. I highly recommend this. Parking is available in front and behind the store, as well as across the street from the store. I was worried about the young waiter's rude attitude, but the food is delicious and the prices are low, so I would like to come back again. (Original) 久しぶりの訪問。店舗移転後初です。以前は居酒屋みたいな感じだったと思いますが、移転して新しく広くモダンなお店になりました。 平日限定のらーチャーはとんこつかにぼし醤油の二種類から選べます。半チャーハンもしっかりしていておすすめですね。 きれいにまとめられたつけ麺は角がしっかりしてコシのある麺です。つけ汁は甘味と煮干しの味わいが良いですね。メニューにはスープ割の表示がなかったのですが店員さんに行ったら割スープ持ってきてくれました。 餃子は安さにもかかわらず肉と野菜の甘味やスパイスを感じるとても美味しいもの。これはおすすめですね。 駐車場は店の前と裏側、それから店前の道路を挟んだ向かい側にもあります。 若い店員さんのつっけんどんな態度が気になりましたが、料理は美味しく値段も安いのでまた伺いたいと思います。

(Translated by Google) This is my first time since I moved! The previous restaurant was more like an izakaya, but it has a stylish atmosphere that could be used for a date✨ I had Echigo spicy miso ramen and the gyoza was delicious! Next time I would like to try Rachan for lunch 😆 I want to have a beer with you, so I'd like you to start the night club again. I like it even more than before I moved! (Original) 移転してから初めてです！ 以前のお店は居酒屋っぽさ強めでしたが、オシャレでなんならデートに使えそうな雰囲気✨ 越後辛味噌ラーメンをいただき、餃子も美味しかったです！次回はランチのラーチャン食べたいですね😆 いっしょにビール飲みたいから夜の部再開してほしいですね〜。移転する前より好きですよ！

(Translated by Google) Hmmm... Sesame Dandan noodles? The sesame scent is so weak that I probably won't order it next time. They seem to recommend the tsukemen, so I guess that can't be helped. It's not bad. Both the black and red fried rice are delicious😋 (Original) う〜ん‥胡麻担々麺？ってくらい胡麻の香りが薄いので次は頼まないかな。つけ麺を推してる？っぽいので仕方ないか〜って感じ。不味くはない。 チャーハンは黒、赤どちらも美味い😋

(Translated by Google) July 2025, Saturday, Sunday, and Holiday Lunch Special Tsukemen... 980 yen While nibbling around town, I visited Menya SAKURA in Tokamachi City for the first time in about 15 years, counting from before the relocation. Founded in 2009 in Miyuki, the restaurant moved to its current location in 2023. Back then, the rich tsukemen boom was in full swing. Even in Niigata, Osharin made a big splash and opened a ramen shop at Ramen Museum, but this style of ramen was quite innovative in Tokamachi. The thin pork and fish broth has remained the same since then, with thick, chewy noodles perfectly cooked and a perfect finishing touch. I finished by squeezing lemon to change the flavor and slurp it down for a refreshing sip. After all, a tartness is the key to rich tsukemen. Though rich tsukemen is often referred to as "mataoma" these days, this bowl made a huge impact in Tokamachi as a pioneer. (Original) 2025.7 土日祝昼 特製つけ麺…980円 とある休日の食べ歩きにて、移転前から数えておよそ15年ぶりに十日町市の麺屋SAKURAへ。2009年に同市内美雪で創業、2023年に現在の店舗へ移転。 当時は濃厚ブーム真っ只中。新潟でもラー博で大舎厘が大健闘で店舗を出すまでに至った勢いのあった時代だが、十日町でこのタイプはかなり斬新だった。 当時からシャバ目の豚魚は変わらず、モチモチの太麺はしっかり茹でてあり、締めもほどほどでドストライク。 ラストはレモンを搾って味変して爽快に啜る。やはり濃厚つけ麺に酸味は正義である。 今となってはマタオマと言われがちな濃厚つけ麺だが、十日町でそのパイオニアとして大きなる存在感を見せる一杯だ。

(Translated by Google) [Added Spring 2025] Basically it's delicious. However, 150g of ramen and 200g of tsukemen are not enough. (postscript) We visited the new store after its relocation. Order via touch panel. Ramen has 160g of noodles and tsukemen has 200g, which is still a small amount for the Tokamachi area. Tsukemen can be made in medium size (additional 50g/50 yen) or large size (additional 100g/100 yen), so you can adjust it according to your stomach. *Ramen (additional 80g/100 yen) Also, the taste is still delicious and leaves a good impression. The Niboshi soy sauce ramen was also very delicious with a refreshing soy sauce without the strange smell of dried sardines (fish). We also have children's ramen and children's tsukemen, so you can feel safe bringing your children with you. (Original) 【2025年春追記あり】 基本的に美味しいです。 ・・が、ラーメン150g、つけ麺200gは物足りないかな。 （追記） 移転後の新店舗に伺いました。 タッチパネルによる注文てす。 ラーメンは麺160g、つけ麺は200gとやはり十日町地域にしては少ないレベルですが、 つけ麺であれば中盛（50g追加/50円）や大盛（100g追加/100円）ができるので、自分のお腹具合て調整できると思います。 ※らーめん類は（80g追加/100円） また味は相変わらず美味しく好印象です。 にぼし醤油らーめんもヘンに煮干し（魚）臭くなく、スッキリとした醤油で大変美味しかったです。 またお子様らーめんやお子様つけ麺もあるのでお子様連れも安心して利用できると思います。

(Translated by Google) I had the Echigo sweet and spicy miso ramen. I like thick noodles, so of course I chose thick noodles. It had a distinct flavor and was delicious. I was worried that it would be too spicy, but I'm glad it was spicy enough to be eaten normally. The gyoza was also sweet and delicious! It was a store I would like to visit again. There are seats where you can eat while looking at your bike parked in the parking lot, so it's also recommended for bikers. (Original) 越後甘辛味噌ラーメンをいただきました。 太麺好きなのでもちろん太麺をチョイス はっきりしたお味で美味しかったです。 辛すぎないか心配だったけど普通に食べられる辛さだったので良かったです。 餃子も甘味が出ていて美味しかったですよ！ リピしたいお店でした～ 駐車場に停めた自分のバイクを見ながら食べられる席があるのでバイカーさんにもオススメ👍

From what I remember, “Tokamachi Tantan Tsukemen” was also delicious, so if I have a chance to go back home, I would like to order it again!

Set meal of ramen and friend chicken was the perfect quick meal in between trains!

(Translated by Google) I visited this restaurant because it had high reviews. It's located inside a supermarket near the station, just outside the JR ticket gates at Tokamachi Station. I visited on a Saturday around lunchtime, and there were already 4-5 other groups waiting, but they all wanted a table. There were a few seats available at the counter, so I asked a staff member and they quickly seated us. I had the popular half-and-half set. It could be described as a combination of thick fried noodles and a Chinese rice bowl, but it was delicious, just like the thick fried noodles you'd get at a local Chinese restaurant. It also came with one piece of fried chicken, which was also well-seasoned and freshly fried. Personally, I would have preferred if the portions of fried noodles and rice were a little larger. (Original) クチコミ評価が高いので訪問しました。 十日町駅のＪＲ側の改札を出た、駅の近くにあるスーパーの建物内にあります。 土曜日のお昼頃の訪問でしたが、既に４〜５組待ちだったものの皆テーブル希望で、カウンターに数席空きがあったので店員さんに確認したらすぐ案内していただきました。 人気というハーフ&ハーフセットをいただきました。 あんかけ焼きそばと中華丼を合体させただけと言ってしまえばそれまでですが、いわゆる町中華のお店で出てくるあんかけ焼きそばといった感じで美味しかったです。 唐揚げも１個だけついてきますが、こちらもしっかりと下味がついた揚げたての美味しい唐揚げでした。 個人的には焼きそばやごはんの量がもう少し多ければなお良いと思いました。

(Translated by Google) My body was chilled by the hotel's air conditioning and I craved miso ramen. It was delicious miso ramen with char siu. The staff came around asking if I wanted some cold water. The noodles were thin and a little sticky. The vegetables were covered with bean sprouts, so I could eat a lot. It was delicious. (Original) ホテルの冷房で冷え切った体が味噌ラーメンを求めました。チャーシュー美味しい味噌ラーメンでした。お冷やはスタッフさんがいかがですか？とついでまわってくれます。麺は細め、やや粘つく。野菜はもやしが埋もれてたくさん食べられます。おいしいです。

(Translated by Google) It's been 15 years since I last visited. Their Ogawa noodles and Chinese ramen have always been popular. But this time I wanted to try the miso ramen, so I ordered it. The nostalgic flavor was still there! (Original) 15年ぶりに来店。 以前からオガワ麺や中華はんが人気。 でも今回は味噌ラーメンが食べたくて注文しました。懐かしの味は健在でした！

(Translated by Google) They also have a different menu to the main store in Honmachi, so you can enjoy it. As with the main store, I recommend the "Chinese rice stew" and "Companion Spaghetti." *The half-and-half option is also available. The Lion D'or store is a convenient place for students and those who are shopping to stop by. For those looking for a restaurant around the station for the Echigo-Tsumari Art Festival or other events, I would definitely recommend trying the "Chinese rice stew" mentioned above, as Tokamachi's soul food. (Original) 本町の本店とは別メニューもあり、楽しめます。 本店と同様に『中華はん』と『コンパニオンスパゲッティ』がオススメ。 ※ハーフ＆ハーフもね。 リオンドール店は買い物ついでや学生が立ち寄りやすいかな。 大地の芸術祭などで駅周辺で飲食店を探す方には、ぜひ上記にも書いた『中華はん』が十日町のソウルフードとして食べて頂きたいです。

(Translated by Google) We usually have pork cutlet curry, but my wife left her pork cutlet set meal, so I tried gomoku yakisoba for the first time! This was a surprise! I took a bite and it was hotter than ever!!! It was hotter than Ogawa noodles! Of course it was delicious!!! The balance of flavor and heat was perfect! You should definitely give it a try!! (Original) 何時もはカツカレーなのだが妻がかつ定食を残すので初めて五目焼きそばを食してみました！ これがビックリマン！ 一口放り込んでほがほがあっち！！！ オガワ麺より熱い！ もちろん超美味しい！！ 美味しさと熱さのバランスガ絶妙！ 一度ご賞味あれ！！

(Translated by Google) When I went on a Sunday afternoon, there was a long line. It makes sense when you eat it. All of them are delicious and the portions are huge for around ¥800. Is it handmade? I forget the name, but our family ate the cutlet curry, chicken pilaf, half and half, and Ogawaya ramen, and we were not disappointed. By the way, this is my second repeat visit! (Original) 日曜日のお昼に行ったら少し並んでいました。食べると納得。どれも美味しいし￥800前後で食べられボリュームもあります。手作りかな？名前忘れましたが我が家はカツカレー、チキンピラフ、ハーフアンドハーフ、オガワヤラーメンを食べハズレ無しでした。ちなみに2回目のリピーターです！

Matsukiya specializes is seasonal local vegetable and fish dishes and temari zushi, all at incredibly low prices for the quality.

This is the best place on earth. You need a reservation on Saturdays for lunch.

(Translated by Google) I went there for the first time in a while and it was a 4000 yen course. When making a reservation, ask if you are male or female, and also ask your age. Some people don't like that, but maybe it's a nice touch of hospitality〰️It's very delicious and I'm satisfied. (Original) 久しぶりに行きました4０００円コースでした 予約の時に男性か女性かを聞き、年齢も聞きます そこが、嫌な人もいますが細かなおもてなしかも〰️とても美味しくて満足しています

(Translated by Google) First visit for lunch. My mother said it was delicious, so I thought it would taste good. First of all, the atmosphere of the store was a retro-modern building, which gave me a good impression. I couldn't decide between curry or chicken lunch on the menu, but since the curry was said to be spicy and I don't like spicy food, I decided on chicken lunch. Hot items were served piping hot, cold items were served cold, and the basics were very good. However, I felt something strange about my teeth and there was a foreign object in the vermicelli salad, which was very disappointing. However, the taste was good (★minus 1) The locals also said that you can't go wrong with this restaurant, so the food was good, but the proprietress would talk about her family at the counter in front of the customers, so I think it's better to avoid that (minus 2). (Original) ランチで初訪問。 母親が美味しいからと言っていたので、味は間違えないかと思いました。 まず店の雰囲気はレトロモダンな建物で、良い印象でした。 メニューはカレーかチキンランチで迷いましたが、カレーはスパイシーと書いてあり、辛いのが苦手だったので、チキンランチに決めました。 温かいものはアツアツで、冷たいものは冷たく提供され、基本は非常に良かったです。ただし、歯に違和感を感じ春雨サラダに異物が入っており、大変残念でした。しかし味は良かったです（★マイナス1） 地元民もこの店は間違え無いと言っていましたので、味は良かったのですがカウンターで女将が身内話を客前でしてくるので、それはやめたほうが良いと思います（★マイナス2）

(Translated by Google) I ordered a 5500 yen kaiseki course for lunch. I was satisfied with both the content and taste. The customer service at the store was also polite and gave me a good impression. I looked at the menu for the evening, and there were a lot of things I liked, so I would definitely like to try it at night as well. *From 2025, the course has been changed from 5,500 yen to 6,600 yen. (Original) ランチに5500円の懐石コースをお願いしました。 内容、味共に満足行く内容でした。 お店の方の接客も丁寧で好印象でした。 夜のお品書きを見てみましたが、自分好みのものが多く、ぜひ夜も伺ってみたいと思います。 ※2025年から5500円から6600円のコースに変更になりました。

(Translated by Google) I always receive seasonal dishes and they are delicious. Yesterday too, the food was beautiful and beautiful, and the drinks were delicious. (Original) いつも時季の料理を頂いて、美味しく食べさせてもらっています。昨日も見事なきれいな料理でしたし、お酒も美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) I think it's a pretty prestigious store in Tokamachi. We also serve lunch. I went there the other day for a year-end party at work, and it was very good❗ (Original) 十日町ではかなり格のいい店だと思います。ランチもやってます。先日職場の忘年会で行きましたが、とても良かったです❗

Wonderful. I love the wild veggies that you can rate at the Echigo-Matsudai Satoyama restaurant which are usually served from mid April to mid May approximately. Please enjoy all wind of food for 2,000¥ (self service).

Very cool and well defined restaurant, excellent local food 👍👍👍👍

Very nice embience. A pity that I have arrived too late in the afternoon for its lunch set.

Locating in the valley of the mountain area; beautiful modern architecture with glass walls and windows where people can enjoy the views of the mountains

💕

(Translated by Google) Since I visited during wild vegetable season, I had a wild vegetable buffet. It seems to be very popular and you can't go unless you make a reservation. There are many dishes that are irresistible for those who love vegetables, especially wild vegetables. Just in case, there was some spicy curry, so I think you'll have a fun time unless you don't like vegetables. The restaurant itself seems to be a work of art, and you can see some of the works from the windows, so I highly recommend it. (Original) 訪れた時期が山菜のシーズンだったので、山菜バイキングをいただきました。 とても人気のようで、予約していかないと行けないです。 野菜、特に山菜好きにはたまらない料理が盛り沢山。 念のため、スパイスの効いたカレーとかもありましたので、野菜嫌いでなければ楽しい時間が過ごせると思います。 レストラン自体も作品になってるようで、窓からもいくつかの作品が見られますので、おすすめです。

(Translated by Google) I visited on October 11, 2025. I searched for "all-you-can-eat Uonuma Koshihikari rice" and this place came up, so I made a reservation for 11:00. After getting a little lost in the rain, I arrived at the mysterious building. Up the stairs, I saw about 10 people waiting. Looking inside, I saw some people already eating before 11:00, so I asked a staff member if they could also accommodate me. It may have been because the weather wasn't great, but it seems like it would get very crowded on sunny days, so it's probably best to make a reservation. Perhaps because I seemed like a big eater, I was seated farthest from the food area (lol), and I immediately went to get my food. The selection wasn't that great, so don't imagine it as a tourist hotel buffet. I recommend waiting in line expecting the selection to be similar to that of a Toyoko Inn. The rice was delicious, of course, but the sweet potato and pumpkin with cream, vinegared gourd, and braised pork were also delicious. Whether you consider 2,500 yen expensive or cheap is up to you. I think I might come again. I definitely recommend it to anyone who likes rice. Also, there was a surprise in the restroom. If it's your first time, I highly recommend you try it. I was a bit worried (lol). (Original) R7.10.11に訪問しました。魚沼産コシヒカリ食べ放題と検索してこちらがヒットしたので１１時に予約しました。 雨の中で少し迷いながら不思議な建物に到着。 階段を上がると座って待つ人が１０名ほど、店内を覗くと１１時前でも食事を始めてる方らがいたので店員さんに声をかけてこちらも１１時から６０分のランチを開始にしてもらいました。天気が良くなかったからかもしれませんが、天気が良いとかなり混みそうなので予約した方が良さげです。よく食べそうだからか、食品が並ぶ場所から一番遠い場所に座らせられ（笑）、早速食べ物を取りに行きました。種類はそれ程なく、観光系のホテルのバイキングを想像するとダメです。東横インぐらいの品数と思って並ぶことをおすすめします。美味しかったのはお米は当然ですが、サツマイモとカボチャに生クリームが乗ったもの、糸瓜の酢の物、豚の角煮でした。2,500円を高いと見るか、安いと見るかは人それぞれですかね。もう一度来てもいいかなと思います。ともかくお米好きにはオススメします。 それとトイレで驚きがありました。初めての方は是非入ってみて下さい。焦りました（笑）

Visited on a very hot day. Apart from art works, I had a buffet lunch there. Mostly veggies dishes but still got kara-age. I particularly loved the bitter melon, good for summertime. If U visit after 12 noon, the restaurant can be crowded. U can buy advanced ticket on their website.

Really nice collection of artworks in nature. There are also great attractions for kids (climbing wall, slides etc.) in the center itself and around it. You can go up to the remains of Matsudai castle and look over the rice fields in you are with a car.

Exhibition is not so much because most of the artwork have been covered under snow. Recommend to come in spring,summer,and autumn

This architecture is absolute Ace. Looks Like a russian space Station in a wonderful surrounding, We Had Lunch in the Café, where also locals eat, its very good with nice interior design. And you also Must climb Up the hill to the Castle, there is a miracle...

Visited this museum with two friends. Many artworks integrated in the landscape. You can chose to either walk, take the shuttle bus, or take your own car.

No exquisite or spectacular exhibit but it is very pleasant to wander around when the weather is fine

I visited there for Art Festival. It was a wonderful experience. The local folklore museum nearby was also worth to see.

An old school turned into an art gallery/museum sort of a thing. It's a bit of a long drive from the city area. The staff at the reception was friendly and spoke a little english to help us. There is a cafe inside as well. Outside you can see some goats and can play around with the water fountain kinda structure.

This was one of the highlights of the Echigo Tsumari exhibits in the area. The art captures a youthful imagination that is excentuated by the setting in an old elementary school. Highly recommended.

Love the art …

lightly cursed but in a good way. stay awhile commune with the goats

I would definitely recommend people to visit this place. The only thing is that it is not very accessible to go to. It’s either you have a car or you avail a tour where in one of the main attractions is this museum. This was an old school turned into a museum offering art that felt like it came out of a story book. I didn’t post much pictures because you should visit it to know more of what it offers and you won’t be disappointed.

Full of wonder and thoughtful craftsmanship. Exceptional artwork.

fun place for kids

Went on an early January Sunday ~2:30p. Not crowded at all. Snowshoe rental for 409 JPY, and you can start the walk directly from the museum into Bijinbayashi 美人林forest. Incredible. Note that you must pay the 600 JPY museum entrance as well.

Great collection of butterflies... stunning to see them all in one place !

This is a really good place to take kids. The building itself is part of the Echigo-Tsumari Art Field project. You can climb the tall tower and get a good view from the big windows at the top. It's a 160 step staircase though and is hardly lit as it is also one of the art projects. The inside of the center is full of interesting items related to the local nature and countryside. There are snakes, frogs and fish close by and you can fish for crayfish in small ponds. There are stuffed examples of the local bird-life and an amazing collection of butterflies. The windows are made of a really think material and in winter you can see the deep snow piling up against it. There is a visual representation of the snowfall over the past decade or so which is very interesting. There is also a restaurant and a craft area where you can try your hand a making different objects out of objects scavenged from the nearby woods and fields. Perhaps our favorite thing were over 100 little drawers containing all sorts of different things related to the local environment - snake skins, bird nests, insects.

Interesting place to learn the nature life

My second time visiting. Never disappointed by the information I learn.

Cool museum, well worth a view

(Translated by Google) Located near Bijinbayashi Forest, this unique building is also part of the Earth Art Village. Huh, rust? The reddish-brown color of the building's exterior is a unique "rust" characteristic of weathering steel. Unlike regular iron rust, this steel's surface is hard and adheres to the rusted steel, forming a protective film that prevents internal corrosion. Adults (high school students and older): 600 yen Middle school students and younger: Free There's a hands-on corner. There was a frog exhibition. Many children were fascinated by the panel quiz and other activities. There was a free space where adults could enjoy puzzles and wooden Othello boards, which was a great way for adults to take a break. The observation deck is reached by climbing 160 steps. I couldn't even see the handrail in the dark, but I decided to go up. The observation window was a little dirty, but it's worth the climb. Not recommended for people who are easily scared, afraid of the dark, or have weak legs. A popular spot for families (Original) 美人林近くにあり 大地の芸術際の里でもあるユニークな建物 え、サビてる？ 建物表面の赤茶けた色は、耐候性鋼板特有の「錆び」の色で通常の鉄の錆びと異なり、この鋼板の表面は硬く錆び鋼材と密着することで保護膜となり、内部の腐食化を抑えるそうだ このため外壁のメンテナンスがほとんどいらず、錆びが建物を守っているとのこと 大人(高校生以上)600円 中学生以下無料 体験コーナーあり カエル展をしていた パネルクイズなどあり興味深々に見ている子が多数 パズルや木で作られたオセロなど無料で楽しめるスペースがあり、大人は休憩がてら楽しめた 160段の階段を登ると展望台あり 暗闇で手すりさえよく見えない中、上がってみた 展望の窓が少し汚れているのが気になるが一度登ってみる価値あり 怖がり、暗闇が苦手、足腰の弱い人にはあまりおすすめしない 家族連れに人気のスポット

Check their open days before you go. I only visited the outside since it's not a open day. So sad.

Exquisite exhibition. One of the must go places in Echigo Tsumari at festival.

(Translated by Google) I visited for the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale, and it appears to be a permanent exhibit.The inside of the school is completely dark, and you can experience a variety of art. It looks bright in the photo, but it's so dark that you can barely see it until your eyes adjust. The fear and light in the darkness makes you feel the awesomeness of art. It's a three-story building with a variety of artworks, but the space itself is an impressive experience. It's interesting to see how things change on the way home as your eyes adjust. (Original) 大地の芸術祭で訪れましたが、常設展示のようです学校の中が真っ暗で、数々のアートを体験できます。写真だと明るく見えますが、目が慣れるまではほとんど見えないくらい暗いです。暗闇の中にある怖さと光がアートとしての凄みを感じさせます。3階建てで色々な作品がありますが、空間自体が印象に残る体験。帰り道では目が慣れてきて見え方が変わるのも面白い。

(Translated by Google) Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale Winter 2025/02/02 When I went the day before, it was closed 💦 It was only held on Saturdays and Sundays! The entire elementary school had a horror feel to it and was so much fun 😆 It was a satisfying piece of art (*^^*) The toilet was also clean! (Original) 大地の芸術祭 冬 2025/02/02 前日に行ったら閉館でした💦土日のみの開催でした！ 小学校全部がホラー感あふれる感じでとても楽しかったです😆 満足できる芸術でした(*^^*) トイレもキレイでした！

We went on a rainy weekend just before closing so it is very dark and slightly chilling. Feels like a scene straight out of The Last of Us — post-apocalyptic and intense.

(Translated by Google) There is a parking space near the building where this work is located, so you can park your car nearby. The entrance is made of glass and is bright, but when you open the door containing the artwork, you enter a dark space. The work extends to the third floor, so please allow yourself plenty of time to enjoy it. I think it's a very good work. (Original) この作品のある建物の近くに駐車スペースがありますので、近くに車を停めることができます。エントランスはガラス張りで明るいですが、作品のある扉を開けると暗い空間が始まります。3階まで作品ですので、十分に時間に余裕をもって楽しんでいただきたいです。とても良い作品だと思います。

(Translated by Google) 2021.7 visit Echigo-Tsumari Satoyama Echigo-Tsumari Art Festival 2006 work. A collaboration between Christian Boltanski and Jean Calment, it is a permanent installation in an abandoned school. Unfortunately, my first visit was on a day when the museum was closed, so it was my long-awaited return visit. Maybe it's because I'm scared, My legs were not moving forward as much as I expected. The first and final class was intense for me. The smell of straw, like a silo of earth and straw, the feeling of the wind on my skin, the light and shadow, the sound, the sound of my heart pounding as it approached, left a particularly strong impression on me, and even thinking about it now brings back my anxiety. This anxiety and fear is different from being afraid of spiders or being afraid of the dark, but I think it's similar to that of the wife played by Shelley Duvall, who encounters the scene near the end of Kubrick's movie The Shining when the hotel elevator door slowly opens with a bang. It's like the scene I saw when I was a child is stuck in my mind, and I don't know if it's been engraved into my DNA at some point, like something I'd seen in a dream when I was sick, a scene that would have made me scream with anxiety and despair if I had dreamed of it, but it was quietly real here, and I was inside it. Proceed through the hallway lined with portraits painted in black. Was it the setting sun or a searchlight? The strong light shining in and the slowly rotating ventilation fan were so disturbing. A scene from Schindler's List comes to mind. I couldn't get into the room where the explosion sounded, which was right on the second floor after climbing the stairs, and I stood there at the entrance, and that's when I realized the extent of my anxiety. Resisting the urge to cover my ears from the sound of the explosion, I couldn't help but take a good look at the white room, so I quickly walked out into the sunlight without looking back. When I saw the tranquil scenery of Satoyama, I felt glad and happy to be able to return to my daily life. Even in the parking lot outside the building, the sound of cicadas and the faint sound of a heartbeat could be heard. I remember and reflect on this experience every day. It was scary, scary, scary. It was really scary. For some people, this work may go beyond just appreciating a bit of scary art, and before they know it, they may find themselves drawn into a nightmare. The reason you can have such an experience is because it is a work with such a strong and powerful message. I wonder how it will feel the next time I visit. In memory of Christian Boltanski. A closed school in the middle of summer, the echoing sound of cicadas, and cheerful ghosts. What a perfect piece for summer. (It seems that it was released in the middle of winter in January in 2021) 2024.8.11 revisited. (Original) 2021.7訪問 越後妻有里山・大地の芸術祭2006年の作品。クリスチャン・ボルタンスキーとジャン・カルマンとの共同作で、廃校を利用した恒久設置作品となっています。 初訪問は生憎の休館日、再訪で念願の入館です。 私が怖がりなのかもしれないのだけれど、 思った以上に足が前に進まない状態だった。 初の最後の教室は、私には強烈なものだった。 藁の、土と藁のサイロのようなにおい、風が肌にあたる感覚、光と影、音、あの爆音で響く心音が近づく、あの部屋に向かう廊下は特に印象が強く、いま思い出しても不安が蘇る。 その不安や怖さは、けむしが怖いとか、暗がりが苦手で怖いとは異なり、例えるなら、キューブリックの映画シャイニングの終盤近く、ホテルのエレベーターのドアがゆっくり開いてドバ〜ッと…のシーンに遭遇したシェリー・デュバル演じる奥さんのそれに近いと思う。 幼少期に観たそのシーンが脳裏にこびり付いているように、いつかどこかでDNAに刻み込まれたのかもわからない、具合の悪い時の夢で見たような、夢の中なら不安と絶望で叫びそうな光景が、静かに現実にここにあって、その中に自分がいるという状態だった。 黒く塗り潰された肖像が並ぶ廊下を進む。西日だろうか、サーチライトだろうか。差し込む強い光、ゆっくり回転する換気扇があんなにも不穏だなんて。シンドラーのリストのワンシーンが思い浮かんだ。 階段を上った2階すぐにある、あの爆心音の部屋には入れず、入口で立ち竦んでしまい、それで自分の不安の大きさに気付いてしまった。 爆心音に耳を塞ぎたくなるのを我慢しつつ、白い部屋をよく観覧するのもままならず、振り返らずに、気持ち早足で陽の光のあたる場所に出た。のどかな里山の景色を見た時、日常に戻れて良かった、幸せだと思った。 建物の外にある駐車場でも、セミの鳴き声と共に、微かに聞こえた心音。 この体験を毎日思い出し反芻しています。怖かった、怖かった、怖かった。本当に怖かった。 この作品は、人によってはちょっと怖いアートの鑑賞の枠を超えて、いつのまにか悪夢の当事者に引っ張りこまれてしまうかもしれない。そんな体験ができるのは、それだけメッセージ性が強く強烈な作品だということ。 次に訪れたときは、どんな感覚で受け止められるのだろう。 クリスチャン・ボルタンスキーに追悼の意を込めて。 真夏の廃校、響く蝉の声、愉快な幽霊たち。 なんて夏の似合う作品。 (2021年は1月の真冬にも公開していたようです) 2024.8.11再訪。

(Translated by Google) Lift fees are quite cheap compared to others. Courses are divided into advanced and beginner sections. It seems like there is no intermediate course. Perhaps because it was the beginning of the season, it was difficult to see the poles, etc., and there was a risk of suddenly running into uncompacted snow outside the course. Many people actually fell down. (Myself included) There is no deceleration when entering the lift, so first-timers should be careful. I think the cost performance is good considering the price. (Original) リフト料金が他と比較するとかなり安いです。コースは上級と初心者に分かれています。中級コースが無い感じです。シーズン初めのせいか、ポール等が分かりづらくいきなりコース外の非圧雪に突っ込んでしまう危険がありました。実際転倒している方が多数いました。（自分含め）リフト乗り込み時の減速が無いので、初めての方は注意が必要です。料金を考えるとコスパは良いと思います。

(Translated by Google) A local ski slope deep in the mountains. Basically, you can ski with one lift above. Please note that there may be restrictions for tournaments even on weekdays. There are plenty of snow activities, so I think even people who don't ski can enjoy it. Although it is small, it has a lot of ski slopes, including an area where you can snow camp. (Original) 山奥のローカルゲレンデ。基本的に上のリフト1本で滑れます。平日でも大会で規制していることがあるので要確認です。 スノーアクティビティが充実していてスキーをやらない人でも楽しめると思います。 スノーキャンプの出来るエリアもあり小さいながらも盛り沢山なゲレンデです。

(Translated by Google) Even though there was a lot of snow, the parking lot was cleared of snow. The slope was well-compacted and slippery. It is very unfortunate that next year's Niigata Prefecture Masters will be reduced from 2 races to 1 race. If it was a two-day event like before, you would be able to stay overnight and enjoy the hot springs, but... You can enjoy a variety of things such as compacted snow, poles, bumps, and off-piste.Lift tickets are cheap, and you can also get day-trip hot springs and lift tickets, so it's a ski resort that you'll want to visit again. (Original) 雪は多くても駐車場は除雪されていました 圧雪がしっかりされて滑りやすいゲレンデでした 来年の新潟県マスターズが2戦から1戦になってしまうのは非常に残念です 従来通り２日間の開催だと宿泊し温泉が楽しめていいのですが… 圧雪、ポール、コブ、オフピステと色々楽しめリフト券も安く、日帰り温泉＋リフト券もあるので、また遊びに行きたいスキー場です

(Translated by Google) Great snow quality and snowfall! 4-hour ticket = 2000 yen, good value for money♪ Matsunoyama Onsen, one of Japan's three major medicinal hot springs, is also close by.

(Translated by Google) Even my 5-year-old daughter, who was experiencing snow for the first time, seemed to have fun sledding. I was very grateful to the lift staff who took such consideration as to temporarily stop the ride. The scenery from the second lift is spectacular, so if you can ski, please go and see it. The ramen and fried rice at the restaurant were also very delicious. We recommend the weekday pack. (Original) 雪がはじめての5歳の娘もソリなどで楽しんだ様子。リフト係のおじさん方が一旦止めてくれるなどの配慮をしてくださって大変助かりました。第二リフトからの風景が素晴らしいので、滑れる方はぜひ行って見て欲しいです。レストランのラーメンやチャーハンもとっても美味しかったです。平日パックがおすすめです。

(Translated by Google) Visited the other day on 12/26. Yukitsubaki's meat miso ramen is exquisite, and the course was empty, so I was satisfied with eating uncompacted snow powder for 2,000 yen for a 4-hour ticket. The downside is that there isn't much space in front of the second lift landing at the top, so you have to dodge to the left and right, and if you're a bad boarder, you might end up running into the fence in front of you. It seems that people also sleep in tents, and there were quite a few tent sites when I visited. [2024/2 added] The other day, I visited on February 18th (Sunday) for meat miso ramen and snowboarding. Was it because there was a tournament going on? The parking lot was full to the back and there was street parking all the way to the front road. However, there were no guides and the train stopped in a chaotic manner. I managed to find one space in the back and parked there, but some cars with local plates stopped blocking the exit, so it took me a while to get out. I think they should have a parking attendant on the days when it gets really crowded. I can't say that the locals have good parking manners either, so I'll deduct one star. (Original) 先日12/26に訪問。 雪椿さんの肉味噌ラーメンは絶品だし、コースは空いてて4時間券2000円で非圧雪パウダー喰いまくりで満足です。 欠点としては上部の第2リフト降り場の前方にスペース無さすぎて上手いこと左右に逃れないとならず、上手くないボーダーだと目の前の柵に突っ込んでしまうことかな。テント泊もしているようで、訪問時も結構な数のテントサイトがありました。 【2024/2追記】 先日、肉味噌ラーメンとスノボ目当てに2/18(日曜)に伺いました。大会がやっていたせい？か奥の方まで駐車場一杯で手前の道路まで路駐されてました。それなのに誘導員はおらず乱雑に止まってました。なんとか奥に1台分空いていてそこに停めましたが、出る際も出口を塞いで停まる地元ナンバーの車両もあり、出るのに時間が掛かりました。流石に混む日は駐車場の誘導員を配置すべきと思います。地元の人も駐車マナーがいいとは言えないので、☆1減らします。

(Translated by Google) The conditions were such that it snowed 5 cm and it continued to snow until the day before. The snow was heavy, but there were some places where it was powdery. The layout is in a figure 8 shape, and it's fun to think about where you'll ski at the top and bottom every time you ride the lift. Streams, trees, compacted snow, gentle burns, steep slopes, R surfaces, walls, uneven uncompacted snow, clean uncompacted snow, small ridges. It's just the right distance so my feet won't hurt, so I'm satisfied because I can try out different things. it was fun. On weekdays, 3,000 yen includes hot springs, meals, and a one-day ticket. On Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, a one-day ticket costs 3,000 yen, and a 4-hour ticket costs 2,000 yen. Lifts start at 9:30 on weekdays and 9:00 on weekends and holidays. It was the most delicious meal I've ever had in my life. The soup is rich in spring and mountain ingredients and has a deep flavor as the soup stock intertwines with each other. There are times when it snows only here in Nagano Prefecture, and when it snows in the Chuetsu area, it also snows here. The best local ski slope. You can also rent snow bikes and snow skates. A good slope to try out different things. You can also apply for snow camping. There are other slopes that look delicious. It would be an even better slope if they created a BC area where equipment is required. (Original) 降雪5センチ前日まで降雪続いてたコンディション。 雪質は重めだがパウダーな所もあった。 レイアウトは8の字型、リフト乗りながら上と下で滑る場所を毎回考えるのが楽しい。沢、ツリー、圧雪、緩バーン、急斜面、R面、壁、凸凹非圧雪、クリーン非圧雪、小尾根。 足が痛くならない丁度よい距離なんで色々試せるから充実で満足。楽しかった。 平日は3000円で温泉と食事と1日券。 土日祝は1日券3000円、4時間券2000円。 リフトは平日9:30、土日祝9:00スタート ゲレ食は人生で一番美味しかった。ゼンマイやら山の幸がふんだんに入った汁は出しが絡み合って深みがある味わい。 長野県でここだけ降雪のとき有り、中越方面が雪の時はここも雪っぽい。 ローカルゲレンデとしては最高クラス。 スノーバイクやらスノースケートなどのレンタルもあり。色々試すのに良いゲレンデ。 雪上キャンプも申し込める。 他、美味しそうな斜面がある。装備必須のＢＣエリアとか作ってくれたら更にサイコーになれるゲレンデ。

So glad a friend recommended the soba here. It was truly delicious and I highly recommend it to anyone who is in or around this area to check it out 🤗.

It was a really nice experience. The tempura soba set was amazing.

(Translated by Google) I spent 2 and a half hours here to eat hegi soba 🚗 It was worth the trip❣️I was so happy to be able to eat the super smooth and delicious hegi soba~❣️ It was so good that I ordered more soba❣️ I had to wait quite a while at first, but the extra came right away. The tempura was also crispy and delicious😀 The soba dango was filled with red bean paste and topped with kinako, and was incredibly delicious I'll come again🚗 (Original) へぎそばを食べに2時間半かけて訪問🚗 来た甲斐がありました❣️めっちゃツルツルで美味しいへぎそばいただくことができて幸せ〜❣️ 美味し過ぎて蕎麦追加しちゃいました❣️ 最初は結構待ったけど追加はすぐきました。 天ぷらもサクサクで最高😀 そばだんごは中にあんこ入りできなこがかかっいてめちゃくちゃ美味しかったです また伺います🚗

(Translated by Google) The soba is delicious! At lunchtime during the Obon holidays, there was a line stretching all the way down the stairs. The owner is a very pleasant person who loves to talk. He loves Minakami Onsen, and Hotel Juraku is a particular favorite, so we had a great time chatting. 😊 I sometimes stop by on my way back from fishing in Naoetsu, but sometimes I miss the entrance between the tunnels and can't get back, so I have to be careful. 😊 The soba noodles I buy as souvenirs to take home are also highly rated! (Original) そば美味しいです! お盆のお昼時は階段の下まで行列ができてました。 店主もお話し好きなとても感じの良い方です。水上温泉が好き特にホテル聚楽がお気に入りとの事で話が盛り上がり楽しませてくれました😊 時々、直江津の釣りの帰り道とかに寄るんだけど、うっかりしているとトンネルとトンネルの間の入り道過ぎてしまい戻れずに関東に帰るなんで時もあるので要注意です😊 お土産で買って帰るそばも高評です!

(Translated by Google) [October 7, 2025] I'd been curious about this restaurant because I'd seen a flag hanging along the national highway. When I arrived at 11:00, there were already four cars there. Although the surrounding area is a valley village, the view of the entire area was pleasant. The first floor of the building is where the fresh soba noodles are picked up, and after climbing the stairs to the second floor, the entrance looks like a regular private home. Today, chestnut burrs welcomed me. When I went inside, the entrance and guest rooms were just like any other private home. After sitting down, I was served hot roasted green tea and a small bowl of appetizers. I nibbled on these while waiting for 10 minutes before my hegi soba was served. The condiments were the standard chives and chopped green onions, and the complimentary pumpkin tempura was a welcome treat. The soba broth was a little on the thicker side. The soba itself was similar to the local Ojiya hegi soba, using nori seaweed, but the color was close to the original soba noodles and the texture was soft. Looking around, I noticed that 80% of the seats were filled and there were many young couples. Perhaps it was word of mouth or social media... I left the restaurant realizing how popular it was. Thank you for the meal 😎 (Original) 【2025.10.7】 国道沿いに幟が出ていて気になっていたお店。 11時に到着すると既に4台の車が。 周囲は谷間の集落ながら全体が見渡せて気持ちいい。 建物の1階は生そばの引渡場所となっており、階段を2階へ上がると、入口は普通の民家風。 今日は毬栗が出迎えてくれました。 中に入ると玄関も客室も普通の民家と一緒。 着席すると温かいほうじ茶と突出しの小鉢が出され、それをつまみながら待つこと10分でへぎそばとご対面。薬味は定番のあさつきと刻みねぎにかぼちゃの天ぷらがサービスで有り難い。そばつゆは気持ち濃いめ。肝心のそばは地元小千谷のへぎそばと変わらず布海苔（海藻）を使っているもののそば本来の色に近く、食感は柔らかい。 見渡すといつの間にか席は8割方埋まり若いカップルが多く、クチコミかSNSか…人気なんだと実感しながらお店を後にしました。 ご馳走様でした😎

(Translated by Google) This is a delicious hegi soba restaurant. After going up the outside stairs, you sign your name on the waiting board on the second floor and wait. There is plenty of parking space, so we waited in our car for a while. You have to take off your shoes before entering the restaurant. After ordering, you'll never get bored as they bring out the halved walnut meat on the table while you wait. The soba is refreshing and easy to swallow, and the tempura is freshly fried and delicious. The soba soup is rich!! The service was crisp and clear, so we enjoyed our meal in a pleasant atmosphere. (Original) へぎそばの美味しいお店です。 外階段を上がって２階にあるウェイティングボードに記名して待ちます。 駐車場は多めにあるので車内でしばらく待ちました。 店内には靴を脱いで入ります。 オーダー後はテーブルにある半割の胡桃の身を出しながら待つので飽きることはありません。 おそばは喉ごしの良いさっぱり系、天ぷらも揚げたてで美味しいです。 蕎麦湯は濃厚！！ 接客も歯切れよく気持ちよく食事が楽しめました。

(Translated by Google) We had some business in the Tokamachi area, so we decided to have some delicious soba noodles for lunch. My wife searched online for a place and chose this one. Heading straight on Route 353 from Ojiya, you'll see signs at both the entrance and exit of the Yakushi Tunnel, making it easy to find. Turn left immediately after exiting the tunnel. You'll see it as you ascend the mountain road, so even first-timers won't get lost. Parking is easy, with signs. We arrived at 11:30 on the last day of the holidays. I saw several people outside the building, so I assumed there was a line. I wondered if there would be a long wait. The entrance is on the second floor. We opened the sliding door, entered, wrote our names and number of people on the waiting list, and waited outside the entrance. It seemed the people we'd seen earlier had finished eating during the first round, and luckily there was only one group of four ahead of us. After about 20 minutes, we were called inside. It appears to be a converted private home, and the alcove is visible, so it's full. We'd requested a table, so the two of us sat at a four-seater. I ordered the tempura soba set and my wife the tempura and grated daikon radish soba set, and we waited for a while. The soba soup, condiments, and small plates were brought out immediately. Eggplant, okra, and shiso pickles? Simmered vegetables? Either would have been fine, but both were delicious. At the same time, tea with a shiso scent was brought out, rather than soba tea, which was also a nice change of pace. The tempura soba set arrived without much of a wait, and the nihachi soba, made with nori seaweed as a binder, had an incredible sheen. I heard someone at the table next to us say, "Recently, I've eaten soba elsewhere and I wasn't sure whether it was chewy or firm, but the soba here seems a little softer, but it's still satisfying and delicious." I agree. The binding agent is nori seaweed, which not only gives the soba a smooth texture, but also makes the soba sauce not too thick, going perfectly with the various types of tempura that were served on top. I particularly tried the shrimp wrapped in shiso leaves, which was my first time trying it and it was delicious. My wife's tempura soba was also delicious, accented with shrimp, several types of tempura, and a large pickled plum. The service was polite and I was happy that they accept PayPay. I'd like to come back on a weekday next time and try the soba dango, which are not available on weekends or holidays. When I went outside, there were still several groups waiting, and from the parking lot where I had parked, a young couple with their small child were heading towards the restaurant. (Original) 十日町方面に所用がありせっかく行くならお昼は美味しい蕎麦を食べようよ　ということで、妻がネットで何件か検索したお店からチョイス。 小千谷方面から353号を直進すると、薬師トンネルの入り口にも出口にものぼりが出ているので分かりやすい。トンネル出て直ぐを左折。 山道を上がっていくと見えてくるので初めての人でも間違うことはなさそう。 駐車場も看板が出てるので停めやすい。 到着は連休最終日の11:30。 建物の外に何人も見えたので、行列？相当待たされるのかな？と覚悟 入り口は2階。引戸を空けて中に入りウェイティングリストに名前、人数を書いて玄関外で待つ。 先ほど見えた人達は1回転目の食べ終わった人達だったようで、幸運なことに私達の前には1組4人さんのみ。 20分ほどで呼ばれ中に入る。恐らく民家を改造して店舗に仕立てているようで、床の間も見えるし満席である。 テーブル席をお願いしていたので4人掛けに2人で座り、私は天ぷらそばセット、妻は天おろしそばセットをお願いし暫し待つ。 直ぐにそばつゆと薬味、小皿が運ばれてきた。 茄子とオクラと大葉の漬物？煮浸し？どちらでも良いのだが、うーん旨い。 同時に運ばれてきたのは、蕎麦茶ではなく紫蘇の香りがするお茶、これも変わっていて良い。 あまり待たせられることもなく出てきた天ぷらそばセット、つなぎに布海苔を使ったニ八そばは艶感が半端ありません。 隣のテーブルの方から聞こえてきたのは「最近他で食べた蕎麦はコシが強いのか、固いのかがよく分からなかったけど、ここはちょっと柔らかいような気もするけど、食べ応えもあって美味しいよね」 私も同感。 つなぎが布海苔なのでツルツル感は勿論、蕎麦つゆも濃くなく何種類も盛られていた天ぷらとも相性バッチリ。 特に大葉に巻かれた海老は初めてで美味しかった。 妻の天おろしそばも海老の他、数種類の天ぷらと大きい梅干しがアクセントで美味しかったらしい。 接客も丁寧でPayPayも使え満足。 土日祝は提供がないそばだんごを、次回は平日に来て食べてみたい。 外に出てみるとまだ何組かが待機、私が停めた駐車場からは若いご夫婦が小さい子供を連れてお店に向かっていた。

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

The view was very good but we couldn’t find the onsen

(Translated by Google) So good!! ️ I'd like to say that I went there twice and couldn't enter the tunnel either time... It's my fault that I didn't investigate properly (￣▽￣;) (Original) 凄くいい‼️ と言いたいのですが、二回行って二回ともトンネル入れませんでした… ちゃんと調べていかなかったのが悪いのですが(￣▽￣;)

(Translated by Google) too many people I couldn't reach it. (Original) 人がおおすぎる 辿り着けませんでした。

(Translated by Google) Enter slowly and elegantly. It's a hot spring in the countryside! (Original) 風情よく、ゆっくり入れます。 田舎の温泉です！

(Translated by Google) It was the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale since 2018. I went to places I didn't go to last time and looked for new items. I visit Kiyotsu Gorge because I can enjoy it no matter how many times I go there. Nearby was Mr. Isobe's Warehouse Museum. Using the old school building and gymnasium, we were able to understand a lot of information such as changes in the flow of rivers. It was great to see the evolution of Mr. Isobe's work. I will come again next time. (Original) 2018年以来の越後妻有アートトリエンナーレでした。前回行かなかったところや新作を求めて周りました。 清津峡は、何度行っても楽しめるので訪問。その近辺に磯部さんの倉庫美術館がありました。旧校舎と体育館を使って、川の流れの変遷など資料が多く理解できました。 磯部さんの作品の変遷も含めてのぞいて良かった。 次回も来ます。

(Translated by Google) I went during Golden Week. I don't know if floating sculpture is the correct answer, but this work was very popular with the children. As an adult, I was very interested in Mr. Isobe's way of thinking about the way he creates works, as he understands that the flow of the wind comes from the flow of rivers and topography, and he is thinking about how to sublimate this into art. I thought the term ecological planning made sense. Even during Golden Week, it was still cold in Niigata, so I felt like I needed an extra layer of clothing, especially for the red floating sculpture. You also have to take off your shoes to go near the works, so it's even colder. Adults are 800 yen, infants are free, and elementary school students and older are 400 yen. I think it takes about 20 minutes to just take a quick look, and 1.5 hours if you want to take a closer look, including the history. (Original) ゴールデンウィークに行きました。 フローティングスカルプチャーというのが正解なのか分からないですが、この作品が子供達には大人気でした。 大人としては風の流れは川の流れや地形からきていて、それをアートとどのように昇華させていくのかを考えられている磯辺さんの作品作りへの考え方がとても興味を沸き立ててくれました。 エコロジカルプランニングという言葉もなるほどと思いました。 ゴールデンウィークでもまだ寒さが残る新潟で風を体感するので、特に赤いフローティングスカルプチャーは一枚多めに服が必要だったなぁと感じました。 作品のそばまで行くには靴を脱ぐ必要もあるので、より寒いです。 大人は800円、幼児はタダ、小学生以上は400円です。 パッと見るだけなら20分、歴史なども含めてじっくりみるなら1.5時間と言ったところかと思います。

(Translated by Google) This museum displays the works of Yukihisa Isobe, one of the leading figures of the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale. Learn more about amazing artworks and environments. Recommended. (Original) 大地の芸術祭の立役者のひとり、磯辺行久さんの作品が並ぶ美術館です。素晴らしいアート作品や環境について深く学べます。おすすめです。

(Translated by Google) Each piece is large and well worth seeing. The courtyard is also an interesting piece of artwork. It's great that you can also visit the adjacent facilities. (Original) 作品一つ一つが大きくて見応えが有ります。 中庭も作品としても面白い。 隣接施設も回れて良い。

(Translated by Google) "A memorial museum dedicated to an artist famous for his emblem series" I visited it during Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale 2023. Yukihisa Isobe's pop permanent exhibition and large-scale works with the theme of wind were on display. (Original) 「ワッペンシリーズが有名な芸術家の記念美術館」 大地の芸術祭２０２３で訪問しました。磯部行久氏のポップな常設展と、風をテーマとした大型作品が展示されていました。

(Translated by Google) There is a permanent exhibition by Yukihisa Isobe. If you look closely, you will be fascinated by the art that affects the environment. An art museum that was converted from a closed elementary school. The open atrium is wonderful, and there are numerous installations spread out below the diagonally descending breezeway. The outside pool is a work of art. (Original) 磯辺行久氏の常設展示がある。じっくり見ると環境に働きかけるアートに魅了される。 廃校になった小学校を改造した美術館。吹き抜けのある空間は素晴らしく、斜めに下る渡り廊下の下に数々のインスタレーションが広がる。外のプールはアート作品となっている。

(Translated by Google) The site of the old elementary school in this town has been turned into an art museum and has been enriched. I enjoyed taking pictures as long as I didn't have a flash. There were art works all over the town, and I was able to enjoy them while enjoying the scenery. (Original) この町の旧小学校跡が美術館になっていて 充実しました。写真もフラッシュなしなら OKなので 楽しめました。 さして、町全体に あちらこちらでアート作品があって 景色を楽しみながら作品も楽しめました。

(Translated by Google) It's a stylish park. I think it would be perfect for secretly flirting...lol. There's also a tire swing, so two people can ride on it. (Original) オシャレな公園です。隠れてイチャつくにももってこいかと…笑。タイヤのブランコもあるので2人乗りもできますしね。

(Translated by Google) It would have been better if the building was used as an office or something. (Original) 事務所とかで使っている建物だったらもっと良かった

(Translated by Google) I'm glad they included the location, which is near a closed elementary school. Inside, there are many places in the shade, so it's cool. (Original) 廃校の小学校のそばこれがあるというロケーション含めて良かった。中は日陰になってる場所も多く涼しい。

(Translated by Google) It may be called scrap metal, but it's very good when layered over the four seasons. (Original) 鉄クズと言われればそうかもしれないが、四季に重ねると、とても良い

(Translated by Google) Art festival work. Surrounded by an iron wall, there are benches scattered on the gravel, tire swings, rusted farm equipment, and an open view of the Kamakawa River.This is a wonderful park that looks like a modern miniature garden. There is a parking space for 1 car on the side of the road. (Original) 芸術祭作品。鉄の壁に囲われた敷き砂利の上にポツポツと置かれたベンチ、タイヤブランコ、錆びた農機具、目和開かれた釜川の景色、モダンな箱庭のようで素敵な公園。道脇に駐車スペース1台分有り。

(Translated by Google) I quite liked it The theme was easy to understand, and even though I went there in early September, it was a refreshing place with a cool breeze blowing. You can also swing lol The parking lot looks like a vacant grassy field across the road, and you can park your car without permission. (Original) かなり好きだった テーマも分かりやすくて、9月上旬に行ったけど涼しい風が吹いてて爽やかな場所だった ブランコもできる笑 駐車場は道路挟んで向かい側にある草っ原の空き地みたいなスペースに勝手に停めてく感じ。

(Translated by Google) I visited for the first time in about 10 years. Although it is an old stock exhibited at the Tsumari Art Triennale, it still has the same presence as ever. I've posted a photo (leaving aside the quality of the photo), but the real thing is several times better. The composition of the golden rice fields cut out through the gaps between the inorganic rusted iron plates creates a strange sensation of turning an ordinary rural landscape into art. When you look at the seemingly inorganic space from a cut-away perspective, it feels like a dry landscape in an ancient temple in Kyoto. The midsummer days are quite harsh, but as autumn deepens, I want to spend half a day in a daze while listening to the sound of flowing river water. (To prevent the spread of infection, please be considerate and offer your time to the next viewer.) (Original) 10年位ぶりに訪れました。妻有アートトリエンナーレでは古株の展示物ですが相変わらずの存在感です。 写真を上げてますが(写真の出来は置いといて)やっぱりここは実物の方が数倍いいです。無機質の錆びた鉄板の隙間から今時期は黄金色の田んぼを切りとって見える構図は何気ない田舎の風景がアートになる不思議な感覚。 一見無機質な空間が切り取られた視点を通すとまるで京都の古刹にある枯山水の様に感じてしまいます。真夏の日中は流石に厳しいですが、川の流れる水音を聞きながら秋が深まるこれからの季節は半日ボーッとして居たいです。(感染予防のため、次の観覧者の方に節度を持って譲り合い鑑賞しましょう。)

Very good for family, especially for family with babies. The room is enough wide to live together. Staffs are friendly and helpful. The equipments for formula bottle are prepared as photo shows. Do you need diapers? Lucky, this hotel supplies them for free (inc. accommodation fees)!!

Very friendly staff. Breakfast and Dinner buffet had a wide variety of typical Japanese, Chinese,Korean, French and western cuisine. Sushi bar, noodles bar, Peking duck, dessert bar, great selection of bread, healthy salad bar, drink bar were frequently replenished. Tried some rare delicious local Japanese food. Rice from nearby fields. Sake tasting was available at their mini convenient store. Was lucky to try Niigata local sake. Great value!

An excellent hotel for a nature getaway from Tokyo. The buffet restaurant is superb. There is so much good food. The sushi is made to order and excellent. They also feature a number of regional dishes that you should try. The soba and cold tofu come to mind. If you are traveling with young kids try to book the “welcome baby” room. It’s equipped with tons of accommodations for little ones. Just be aware, if you are coming by Shinkansen, that the hotel is basically in the middle of nowhere. There is a shuttle bus from the station to the hotel. Fortunately there are plenty of activities you can enjoy, such as bug catching, led by nature guides who explain about each specimen - in Japanese of course (don’t worry, all the bugs were released at the end).

Lovely place, wonderful scenary. The rooms are nice. Service is friendly. The buffet dinner is outstanding.

A wonderful hotel. A very scenic area. Lots of activities, such as golf, cycling, swimming, running around the grounds. Great for adults and children. The buffet restaurant has tons of great food, very easy to over eat. The multiple onsen are big and comfortable, and you are given access to a Shampoo Bar if you ever wanted to know what using very expensive shampoos and conditions is like. If I had one complaint it would be for a quite large room the mini-refrigerator in the rooms is tiny! It’s barely big enough to hold more than a couple bottles of water. Overall a wonderful experience and I look forward to staying there again.

we stayed 6 hotels during our trip and belnatio is the best in terms of food, staff, quality and value. we stayed here 3 nights. The hotel buffet is very delicious. Snow park was fun even for adults. we will be back!!

This is basically a countryside golf resort, but it has enough attractions for the non-golfer to make the (long) journey worthwhile. These attractions include a spa (with small swimming pool), putter golf, and a really nice (and free) display area/library that is dedicated to the natural environment and history of this part of Niigata Prefecture. I spent hours leafing through the photo collections in the library. The resort has lots of rooms. These can be a bit expensive at weekends, but there are midweek bargains to be had if you look around on the web.

A castle with contemporary art installations inside. The contrast outside and inside is quite big, which works very well artistically. A 15 min short hike from parking space, but you probably want water bottle if it is summer.

One of my favourite sites ETAT circuit. Walk up, instead of taking the shuttle. Yes you’ll be cursing but the reveal at the top is well earned.

Super unique and creative. With the trek. Make sure to buy your art passport and bring it with you or you'll need to pay! Lovely views!

The climb up the hill was worth it!

This is now an art exhibit. Get ticket from museum First floor - ok? Cool but weird Second floor - nice? Third floor - love it

Check the the open days and hours before you go.

(Translated by Google) I stopped here on my way back from my trip to Nagano and Gunma. There is a parking lot on the way to the Matsushiro Castle Ruins Park Campground. From there, there is a long uphill promenade, and it takes about 15 minutes on foot to reach Matsushiro Castle. I didn't feel that hot while I was walking, but when I arrived and sat down to rest, I started to sweat. To enter the castle, you need to purchase a ticket for the Matsudai Nohbutai Field Museum, which costs 1,200 yen for adults and 600 yen for elementary and junior high school students. At the Matsudai Nohbutai Field Museum, you can view all the facilities and art works, but since I only stopped by briefly, I didn't buy a ticket and only viewed the works with the view that I had always admired. This castle was built for regional development tourism, and the actual castle is a little further back and was apparently the mountain castle of the Uesugi family. Next time, I would like to make time to take a leisurely stroll. (Original) 長野・群馬の旅、帰路の途中に立ち寄りました。松代城跡公園キャンプ場に行く途中に、専用の駐車場があります。そこから、長い登り坂が続く遊歩道があり、徒歩１５分程で松代城に行けます。歩いている時は、それ程暑さを感じなかったのですが、着いて椅子に座り休憩したら、どっと汗が出てきました。お城に入場するには、まつだい「農舞台」フィールドミュージアム券を購入する必要があり、一般１２００円、小中学生６００円です。まつだい「農舞台」フィールドミュージアムは、全ての施設とアート作品を鑑賞出来るもので、自分は、ちょっと立ち寄っただけだったので、購入はやめて、憧れの眺望の作品だけ鑑賞しました。このお城は、地域発展観光の為に建てられた物で、実際のお城は、もう少し奥にあり、上杉家の山城だったそうです。次回は、時間を作って、ゆっくり散策したいと思います。

We were here in the winter, so the art was not in the field. Beautiful area, though!

Great outdoor museum - and the area is breathtaking!

The art wasn’t great. Mediocre at best.

(Translated by Google) Visited on October 27, 2024. The five-member Intelligent-chan group from college meets once a year, this time at the Echigo-Tsumari Art Festival. What on earth is this? The hanging laundry at the lift station is art. Maybe it's a pillowcase, but there were two orange tents nearby, but the tents don't seem to have anything to do with the Gejutsu Festival, maybe? I hung up my tattered Uniqlo pants to dry at home, but they were also stained. What on earth should I feel? Since I'm exhibiting something, am I making a statement or do I want people to feel something? Is it just smugness or is it OK for contemporary art to be anything that is different, something that has never existed before, or something that is rare? ? ? . One of the Intelligen-chan says that in Japanese, art and art are different, but art can be anything. To be honest, I don't really understand. Artificial objects in the grass. It's a foreign object, I can't feel any emotions. I have no impressions. There are ruins of a castle on top of the mountain, so I offer to go there. I agree too. No one has any regrets about watching Gejutsu, and no one is impressed by it. If you say something, you'll get beat up by the other four, all of them are cautious, and the intelligentsia-chans are smart. I'm not saying it's good or bad. The road leading to the castle ruins has disappeared into the bushes, and it is unclear where the castle ruins are. Where will contemporary art go? The road is in the bush (Original) 2024年10月27日訪問。 大学時の五人組インテリゲンちゃん年1回の集会、今回は越後妻有大地の芸術祭。 これはいったい何なの？リフト乗り場のぶら下がった洗濯物、これが芸術。たぶん枕カバーだけど、近くにオレンジ色のテントが2つあったけど、テントはゲージュツ祭とは関係無いらしい、多分？ 我が家で私のヨレヨレユニクロパンツを干したけどコレもゲージュツだ。 いったい何を感じればいいのか、展示しているからには、何かを主張している、何かしらを感じて欲しい？ 単なる独りよがり、現代芸術は人と違うこと、今まで無かった事、珍奇なものならなんでもOK？？？。 日本語では芸術とアートは違うとインテリゲンちゃんの一人は言うが、アートはなんでも有りだなー。 はっきり言ってよく分からない。 草の中の人工物。異物、感情が湧かない。感想が無い。 山の上に城跡があるというので、そちらの方に行くと言い出す。 私も賛成。誰もゲージュツを見る事には未練が無い、感激していないのだ。 能書きを言ったらほかの4人からボコボコにされる、全員用心深い、インテリゲンちゃん達は賢い。 良いとも悪いとも言わない。 城跡に行く道は藪に消え、何処に城跡があるか不明。 現代アートも何処へ行くのか、 道は藪の中

We arrived 15.30 and after buying tickets we had to hurry and start from the castle (drove the car up hill then walked) which closes at 16.00. Then drove down passing other outdoor arts before visiting the main building art the follows by another smaller building near by exhibiting traditional stories.

Very fun museum for families and everyone can be involved, kitchens food are so yummy! Can’t think we can get such nice heart warmed food out in the mountain! Thank you! 😊

(Translated by Google) You can park your car here and see the rice fields and Yayoi Kusama. Everyone here is kind. Pencil is about a minute's drive from here. When I asked this person, he said the road was wide, so I parked near the pencil and took a photo. Can you reach the summit from this information center? On the hill? It is said that there is a variety of art up to the castle. It seems that about two pieces of art will be added at each art festival. Since it was a weekday and not during the exhibition period, there were no people at all. (Original) 田んぼと草間弥生はこちらに車止めて見れます。こちらの方はみんな親切。鉛筆はここから車で1分くらい。こちらの方に伺ったところ、道幅広いからとのことで、鉛筆近くで路駐させて頂き写真撮りました。 こちらの案内所を起点として山頂？丘上？の城まで様々なアートがあるとのこと。毎回の芸術祭でアート二点ぐらいずつ増えるそうです。会期中でない平日なので、全然人いませんでした。

Cheap lift ticket for a small place. This place offers night time skiing and snowboarding, but only one lift is open. Both lifts are open on weekends. There’s a small shop as well with supplies and a tiny selection of gear.

We went there when there was barely any snow. They just decided to open despite the condition and for that reason we got good discount on what's already very cheap price. A small but nice place for family with small kids.

(Translated by Google) I went there with my kids on Sunday and Monday this week! In conclusion, I will go again. Anyway, it's child-friendly, and all the staff members have children? and It's more kind to mothers and fathers raising children than I expected. Does the kids park have bicycle sleds, normal sleds, long sleds, go-kart-like sleds, and skateboard-like sleds? You can play for free. It's before business hours, but can I play with the playground equipment at the kids park? When I asked, I happily agreed and let me play. Although the facilities are not that great, the amount of snow and the mountains you can ski on are great. I don't get bored because I have it. If you get bored, there is a great kids' space inside the house. Drink bars and menus are unimaginably cheap in this day and age. It's conscientious. Preschoolers are allowed to drink only one drink from their parents. Overall it's cheap. It was quite crowded on Sunday, but it didn't feel cramped at all. On Monday, it was empty and almost reserved. I'm worried about management. I heard that it's like this on weekdays. Occasionally there will be training sessions for schools, groups, and professionals. It seems that children of any age can ride the lift as long as they can ski. My 3-year-old daughter can't ski, but she really wants to ride the lift. I heard that It is said that it is at your own risk and not recommended, but if you hold it and ski safely, it seems to be OK. It's a compact ski resort and you can walk from the station. Highly recommended! Although it was Chinese New Year, there weren't many foreigners there. It looks like everyone is getting off at Echigo Yuzawa Lahen in the foreground. For those with children, those who want to ski quietly, and those who are beginners, This is a highly recommended ski resort. Personally, I find that the amount of information on websites, YouTube, etc. Since there aren't many, I think it would be good to promote it more! It's a very good place, so if it gets too popular It's a bit of a problem lol (Original) 今週、日曜と月曜日に子連れで行きました！ 結論から言うと、また行きます。 とにかく子どもに優しいし、スタッフさん全員子持ち？と 思うほど子育てママパパに優しいです。 キッズパークは自転車のソリ、ノーマルソリ、長いソリ、ゴーカートみたいなソリ、スケボーみたいなソリ？などがあり無料で遊べます。 営業時間前でしたが、キッズパークの遊具で遊んでいいですか？と聞いたら、 快く了承し、遊ばせてもらいました。 設備的にはそこまで充実はしていませんが、雪の量と、滑れる山が あるので飽きないです。 飽きた場合は、ハウス内のキッズスペースが充実しているので最高です。 ドリンバーやメニューがこのご時世では、考えられないほど安く、 良心的です。未就学児は親の1杯だけ回し飲みok。 全体的に安いです。 日曜はそこそこ混んでいましたが、窮屈さを全く感じません。 月曜日は、ガラガラでほぼ貸し切りでした。経営が心配になります。 聞いたところ、平日はこんなもんだと。 たまに学校や団体や、プロの練習が入るそうです。 子どもは滑れれば、何歳からでもリフトに乗れるそうです。 ３歳の娘は滑れませんが、リフトにどうしても乗りたい。と聞いたところ 自己責任、非推奨とのことですが、抱っこしたりして、安全に滑るならOKのようです。 コンパクトなスキー場で駅からも歩いていけるので とてもおすすめです！ 春節ですが、外国人の方はあまりいなかったです。 手前の越後湯沢らへんでみんな降りているみたいです。 子連れの方、静かに滑りたい、初心者である方には、 とてもおすすめのスキー場です。 個人的にはホームページやYouTubeなどをみても情報量が 少ないのでもっとPRしてもいいのではと思ってます！ とても良いところなので人気が出すぎたら ちょっと困るけど笑

(Translated by Google) For intermediate level The maximum slope is 24 degrees, but it is OK for beginners. It's a little-known ski resort so it's empty. It seems to be used for ski lessons at a nearby school. Easy to slip without worrying about people around you When I rented skis, the staff was very kind and helpful.Thank you. No clothing rental Lift fees are so cheap! ! Drink bar available If you write your name on a paper cup and keep it, you can drink again even if you slip. There is space for children to play All the food is served at a low price that you wouldn't expect from a ski resort. Accessories such as goggles are available for sale I think skiing is expensive. This is a ski slope that is easy on your wallet.

(Translated by Google) A small ski resort located near Matsushiro Station on the Hokuhoku Line. Although it is small, there are some places where it is challenging to ski, so it is definitely a place to go on a snowy day. The prices are reasonable and the food is great value for money. You won't have to worry about breaking the bank even if you ski until nighttime, so it's fine to just go.

(Translated by Google) I visited in winter. The parking lot had been cleared of snow, so it was easy to park, but there was a wall of cleared snow in the direction of the rice terraces, making it difficult (almost impossible) to see. I managed to peek through the wall of snow to see the rice terraces, but they were covered in snow and I couldn't really see them. I cannot recommend visiting here in winter. (Original) 冬に訪問しました。 駐車場の所は除雪がしてあり、車を停めやすかったですが、棚田方向には除雪した雪の壁があり、見ることが難しい(ほぼ無理)です。 雪の壁越しに何とか棚田をのぞいてみましたが、雪に覆われ良く分かりませんでした。 こちらの冬の訪問はオススメ出来ません。

(Translated by Google) There are many rice terraces remaining in Matsushiro, Niigata. Hoshitoge is the most famous and largest, but the rice terraces in Gamo are medium-sized and have a lot of character. I wanted to see the rice terraces in the moonlight, but there was still snow left in the rice terraces. I was surprised that there was still so much snow left even during the May holidays. My friend from Hokkaido was also astonished. There were two parking lots. Teenagers can park there, but the toilets are natural and not open. Would you like to help out with the rice terraces? (Original) 新潟松代（マツダイ）には棚田がいっぱい残っていて、星峠が一番有名で広いけど、蒲生の棚田は中規模で味があります。田ごとの月でも見たかったが、田ごとの残雪だった。５月の連休でもたくさんの雪が残っていてびっくり。北海道に友人も仰天していた。駐車場は２つあった。１０代くらいは停められるけどトイレは自然なのでない。 棚田のお手伝いでもするか？

(Translated by Google) Both have their merits, but these rice terraces have a better angle than the ones in Gimei. There is a parking lot and toilets nearby. My parents also grow rice, and I imagine it must be very hard to farm on such a slope. In order to protect this landscape, they must be taking various measures and facing many challenges, such as a declining birthrate and aging population, overconcentration in one area, and the decline of the primary industry. As tourists, we would like to support them in some way. (Original) どちらの良さもありますが、儀明の棚田よりこちらの方が角度が良いです。駐車場、トイレも近くにあります。 私の実家も稲作やっていますが、このような斜面で農業をするのはとても大変だと思います。この景観を守るために、少子高齢化や一極集中、第一次産業の衰退など様々な苦労、対策をされているはずです。観光客である我々が何らかの形で応援したいですね。

(Translated by Google) ◆First visit in May 2020 On the way to the hot springs, I stopped by the nearby Gimei rice terraces on my way back. It's a bit far from the viewpoint, and there are some abandoned areas, but it's a nice view. There is a parking lot, and it is recommended for those who like photography. (Original) ◆令和4年5月初訪問 温泉ツーリング途中、近くにある儀明の棚田の帰りに立ち寄りました。 視点場からは距離かあり、放棄地もめだちますが、良き景観です。 駐車場が整備されており、カメラ好きの方にはおすすめ出来ます。

(Translated by Google) There is also a bench in the large observation space at the bottom of the stairs. The view from the T-shaped road is also very beautiful. I visited in the afternoon on September 12th, but I would like to visit again to see the view of the sunrise sky and haze as seen in other review photos. Looking at the website, it appears that they operate nearby accommodation facilities such as private lodging facilities, as well as Satoyama experience programs, and are involved in various activities aimed at preserving rice terraces and revitalizing the region. (Original) 階段降りた広い展望スペースにベンチもあり。T字の道からの景色もとてもきれい。9/12昼過来訪でしたが他の口コミ写真にもあるような朝焼けの空ともやの景色を狙ってまた訪れたい。HP見ると、近くで民泊等の宿泊施設や里山体験的なプログラムも運営し、棚田保全／地域活性にむけ色々活動されているようです。

(Translated by Google) This is what the terraced rice fields look like on a rainy day at this time of year. (Original) この時期、雨の日の棚田はこんな雰囲気。

(Translated by Google) Rice terraces in Tokamachi, Niigata Prefecture. One of the rice terraces in Matsushiro. About 15 minutes by car from the rice terraces of Hoshitoge. The rice terraces at Hoshitoge are nice, but I also like this one. Although it is a small terraced rice field, a sea of ​​clouds is likely to occur here, and the rays of light that can be seen just after sunrise are magical. The snowy rice terraces were also nice. Even when it snowed, the roads here were plowed. (Original) 新潟県十日町にある棚田。 松代の棚田群の一つ。 星峠の棚田から車で約15分。 星峠の棚田もいいが、私はここもお気に入り。小さな棚田だが雲海が発生しやすく、日の出直後に見られる光芒は幻想的である。 雪の棚田も良かった。 雪の時もここの道路は除雪されていた。

nice

(Translated by Google) On December 30, 2024, the area believed to be the parking lot had been cleared of snow, but the scenic spot was blocked by a wall of snow. Still, I was able to reach out and take a photo from above the snow wall. (Original) 2024年12月30日、駐車場と思われる場所は除雪されていたが、絶景スポットは雪の壁で立ち入れなかった。 それでも手を伸ばして雪壁の上から撮影できた。

(Translated by Google) I stopped by in early July 2025. It's located along the Hokuhoku Highway and has only a parking space and benches. It's not as large as the famous Hoshitoge rice terraces, but it's a good place to take a short break. (Original) 2025年7月上旬に寄りました。ほくほく街道沿いにあり、駐車スペースとベンチがあるだけです。有名な星峠の棚田程の規模はありませんが、小休憩するには、良いんじゃ無いでしょうか。

(Translated by Google) I visited for the first time on April 16, 2023. Although it is a small rice terrace, it is a beautiful rice terrace with a rounded shape that matches the natural topography, and the softness that is different from the divided rice fields was very soothing. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the farmers who continue to carefully protect these wonderful rice terraces. It has become a terraced rice field that I want to visit again every season. (Original) 2023年4月16日に初めて訪れました。小さな棚田ですが自然の地形に合わせた丸みのある美しい棚田で、区画された田んぼとは違う柔らかさにとても癒やされました。 素晴らしい棚田を今も大切に守り継がれている農家さんに心から感謝申しあげます。 季節ごとにまた訪れたい棚田となりました。

(Translated by Google) There is a parking lot opposite the observation deck, but please be aware of the heavy traffic on Route 253. The best time to visit is during cherry blossom season, but it is also beautiful in the season of fresh greenery. (Original) 展望台の向かいに駐車場がありますが国道253号の交通量は多いので注意しましょう。桜の季節がベストですが、新緑の季節も綺麗です。

(Translated by Google) It was nice to have space to park my car. There were many places along the way where I wanted to take photos, but I didn't want to park randomly on the mountain road and cause trouble for others or cause accidents. My photography skills aren't the best, so these photos don't really convey the power of the mountains, but the large rice terraces in the mountains are lush and refreshing. If you want to see lots of smaller rice terraces, head further down the mountain or towards town. The rice fields are terraced, even in places like this, using the gaps between houses. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take any photos. (Original) 車停めるスペースがあるのが良かった 途中何度も写真撮りたい場所があったんですが　山道適当な所に停めて人に迷惑かけたり事故巻き起こしたりではよろしくないですからね あまり写真のセンス良くないので山の迫力が伝わらない写真ですが　山の中に大きめの棚田があるのは青々しくて気持ち良いです ちっちゃい棚田がたくさんであるのを見たければ もっと山を降りたり街の方に行くと こんな所にまで〜ってぐらい民家の隙間とかまで使って田んぼが段々になってました。残念ながら写真は撮れませんでしたが。

(Translated by Google) It is easily accessible as it is located along National Route 253. This is an easy spot where you can easily see the rice terraces. Please note that there is no dedicated parking lot, and there are not many parking spaces as parking is required in the evacuation space on the roadside. (Original) 国道253号沿いあるため、アクセスしやすいです。気軽に棚田が見えるお手軽スポットです。 なお、専用駐車場はなく、路肩の退避スペースに駐車するため駐車可能台数は多くありません。
