Reach the clouds in 7 minutes and enjoy the summer coolness of Yuzawa Plateau

In the height of summer, Yuzawa Plateau is a cool paradise in the sky. Take the 1,300-meter-long cable car, and in just 7 minutes, you can go directly from Yuzawa Onsen Street to the mountaintop, overlooking the Echigo Mountains and the blue sky with a sea of clouds. The plateau garden at the top is in full bloom, with lavender, lilies, and hydrangeas weaving into a colorful ocean, and the air filled with floral fragrance and coolness. Besides strolling and sightseeing, there is also a summer-exclusive thrilling experience—the 706-meter-long plateau slide (photo 2), winding down the hillside, letting you feel the exhilarating rush of wind whistling past your ears. Adventure lovers can also challenge themselves with zip-lining, grass sledding, or hiking trails to explore the natural scenery of the plateau. When tired, head to the mountaintop café to enjoy iced drinks and desserts, or return to the hot spring town at the foot of the mountain to relax. This summer, come to Yuzawa Plateau to encounter the coolness and joy of the high-altitude garden.
