Take a trip to Gala Yusawa, a -1 degree ski resort

Share your experience of visiting a ski resort in Japan 🇯🇵

The ski resort we went to is called Gala Yusawa. It is a popular place for tourists because it is easy to travel. You can visit it with just the Tokyo Wide Pass because the route covers Nanita Prefecture.

For those who intend to ski, the price here is quite reasonable and not too expensive. For those who do not ski, you can buy a gondola ticket to the highest viewpoint. I must say that the view is very beautiful. The place is called Bell of Love. It feels like you are in Switzerland when you are up there. As for the weather, it is very cold. I recommend dressing thickly and wearing a jacket because the temperature here is quite cold. The item that you cannot miss is gloves and they must be snow gloves.

For those who are afraid of being hungry or thirsty, this place sells a variety of food and drinks. The food is delicious. I ordered a very large fried chicken curry rice that was enough to fill me up by myself. There is water, snacks, and ice cream. There is everything. There is also equipment for rent. There is also a Thai interpreter if you can't speak Japanese. There is also a ski school where you can buy a course and learn. The teacher is a Thai-speaking teacher.

As for opening and closing times, it is recommended to come early in the morning at 7 am, leave Tokyo Station, and return around 3-4 pm because the last train leaves around 7 pm. If you miss the last train, it will be difficult to find a place to sleep. And for those who come in the winter, it starts to get dark around 4-5 pm.

P.S. We went in February 68.
It was very cold and it snowed. It was so cool. ><
