Even if you don't ski or snowboard, you can enjoy the spectacular views above the clouds and the fun of playing in the snow at Yuzawa Plateau. Here's a look at some of the unique attractions of Yuzawa Plateau.
A ride on the large 166-passenger ropeway, the red "Alpen Flora" or the blue "White Spur," will take you on a 7-minute aerial stroll to the plateau area at an altitude of approximately 1,000 meters. The panoramic view of the sea of clouds and the snowy landscape below is an experience you can only enjoy at Yuzawa Plateau.
At the "Snow Play Park" in the foothills area, you can enjoy unlimited snow tubing and sledding. Even if you have no experience with skiing or snowboarding, you can fully enjoy the snow itself.
In the mountaintop area, you can enjoy warm drinks and original sweets at "Alpina," an authentic Italian restaurant, and "kumo cafe," a stand-up cafe located inside the mountaintop station. You can relax and enjoy the magnificent scenery in your own way.
The ropeway station is about an 8-minute walk from Echigo-Yuzawa Station. From Tokyo Station, it's a minimum of 70 minutes by Shinkansen (bullet train). The area around the station also boasts plenty of sake tasting spots and local gourmet food, so you can enjoy yourself before or after playing in the snow.
