If you want to ski down the mountainside, you'll need to reach the top of it first. Hop on Gala Yuzawa and enjoy the ride up.
When you've finished at this mountainside transportation system in Niigata Prefecture, why not make your way to Kagura Ski Resort, Ishiuchi Maruyama Ski Resort, and Yuzawa Nakazato Ski Resort? They're not far from Gala Yuzawa and also popular with tourists.
