Approaching the wild charm of Yuzawa Nakazato, known to those in the know

Ski resort "" adjacent to Echigo-Nakazato StationYuzawa Nakazato Ski Resort".It is a slope in Yuzawa that can be reached from Tokyo in about two hours by car and about one and a half hours by train.About XNUMX minutes from Yuzawa IC, there is little snow on the road thanks to the snow-melting pipe, and there are no steep slopes, so access is easy with origami.
The wide variety of courses on the slopes, which are compact but have a wide variety of courses, are equipped with various attractions, free parking lots, and free large communal baths.And, in fact, it is highly evaluated as a little-known spot for slippery powder.This time, I would like to take a closer look at the wild charm of Yuzawa Nakazato, which everyone in the know knows.

Central zone on the slopes perfect for families with children

First of all, the slope layout is a wide ski area with eight lifts installed side by side.The intricate terrain peculiar to Yuzawa gives each lift a variety of courses, and the mountains that rise in the back of the ski resort make you feel like you are abroad.Many lifts span valleys on the slopes.I am happy that it is not easily affected by the wind and the lift is rarely suspended.

The wide and spacious course that can be accessed from the XNUMXrd and XNUMXth romance lifts can be seen from the train-shaped resting place "Blue Train Nakazato" installed in front of the slope, in front of the resting place. Is a perfect place for families, as there is also a kids' space where you can play sledding.In addition, sliding toward the train itself is a pleasure not found on other slopes.By the way, the vast parking lot is also in contact with this slope across "Blue Train Nakazato".It is very easy to access the slopes without going up and down the stairs.

The new mountain terrace at the bottom of the slope is a facility where rentals, snacks, shops, and kids services are gathered in one place, and you can choose your own clothing and gear from the kids' room and the place that is nice for the family of Mama Kimmy Kids Snow School. We also offer a rental service that introduces a brand buffet system that allows children to do so.

XNUMXth and XNUMXth slopes ideal for skill improvement from cruising to snow park

There is a snow park at the bottom of the XNUMXth slope on the left side of the slope, which can be said to be a hidden spot in Nakazato.Although the number of items is not large, it is a place where you can enter the park while enjoying slope cruising, and the boxes, rails, and the connection from the back side hips to the front side hips are sized to be enjoyed by beginners to advanced people and make you smile naturally. ..The park, which cherishes the flow, well expresses the charm of snowboarding that connects items to the left and right, and is a place that I would like to recommend to people who want to improve their skills from the entry level of the park, as well as powder freaks.

In fact, the wildness that free riding groups can play for a day is attractive

And there are still many hidden sights in Nakazato no Mori.Although the number of lifts and the difference in altitude are small, the slopes are facing all directions, north, south, east and west.It seems that Nakazato's potential is greatly raised by the widespread understanding of ski resorts for tree runs and powder riding.

The slopes that can be accessed from the 1st highway and the XNUMXnd romance lift are formed by undulating terrain and moderately open tree runs, in addition to the steep course of the open burn, and the slopes can be entered from anywhere. Can come down to.Also, the place where mash is studded in the forest and various places is attractive, and the short lift that you can try many times makes it more fun.It's also nice to be able to get on the lift and look for spots while looking at the slopes.It's often said that the park should be visible from the lift, but the powder also gets excited by the view of the terrain and slips from the lift, giving the wide and abundant line of slopes and terrain a place to play all day long. ing.Also, on the slopes facing north, south, east and west, you can enjoy looking for spots with good snow conditions while reading the sunlight and wind direction.

Mash seems to be made of natural terrain, but here in Nakazato, as a new attempt, we assume free riding users to expand the tree run course and snow cover by identifying the terrain and cutting trees. The course is designed so that you can mash it.What I had been hoping for was already done here.Slopes rich in undulations and terrain on slopes that can be slipped many times even though they are short distances.The idea of ​​a ski resort makes us very much looking forward to future developments.

Course layout that can realize "even a family wants to slide powder"

Nakazato, which has a full range of services for families, is also recommended for fathers and mothers who want to slip powder.When it comes to family-friendly slopes, there aren't many places where you can slide powder, and the slopes on wide gentle slopes are the center.However, since all the elements are compactly gathered here in Nakazato, even if you leave your child for a while and try to slip one, you can enjoy the powder and come back in 1 minutes. ..

Enjoy authentic pizza on the slopes.If you spend your time slowly, shift the peak time

"Paolino" is a pizza restaurant that grills light meals in a wood-burning pizza oven.The natural yakimono pizza peculiar to firewood is delicious.The menu is abundant, so it's fun to order and share a few.There are some fashionable posters of Nakazato in the past inside the store.The space inside the store where you can feel the warmth of wood is a recommended place to spend a relaxing time.Weekends are crowded, so it's a good idea to stagger the peak hours.

Good access and good service, powder, park, delicious lunch.And don't forget the free public bath.There is no doubt that it will be a more fulfilling snowboarding day if you heal your tired body after slipping and go home.

In Yuzawa, a heavy snowfall area, there are many days with over 1 cm of snow per day.I think there are many days when the topography of Nakazato and the environment full of ideas are intertwined with such a climate.Yuzawa Nakazato Ski Resort has a potential that cannot be imagined from a compact slope.Please come and enjoy the charm of Nakazato.
