YUZAWA TRAVEL GUIDE ???? | Things to do in Yuzawa + KIYOTSU GORGE and the Tunnel of Light ????✨
Today, we're taking you to Yuzawa, a town in the mountainous region of Niigata Prefecture, mainly known for its heavy snowfall and hot springs where we'll cover all of the top things to do in this travel guide. However, we visited in late summer, so there was no skiing for us!
Instead, we rode the ropeway up the mountain to visit an alpine botanical garden, hiked to the nearby Fudo Falls, and sampled sake at the Ponshukan Sake Museum inside Echigo Yuzawa Train Station.
We also visited lots of baths across town - hand baths, foot baths, and even a sake bath! Plus, we went on a day trip to Kiyotsu Gorge to visit the famous Tunnel of Light.
So join us in this Yuzawa travel guide for some ideas of fun things to do here on your own trip!

Yuzawa, nestled in the mountainous Niigata Prefecture, is renowned for its heavy snowfall and hot springs, but our late-summer visit unveiled a different charm. As skiing wasn't an option, we embarked on a diverse exploration, starting with the Yuzawa Kogen Ropeway. This scenic journey whisked us to an alpine botanical garden, a lush oasis showcasing the region's diverse flora.
Our adventure continued with a hike to the serene Fudo Falls. The cascade's natural beauty was a refreshing sight, distinct from Yuzawa's winter persona. Gastronomy was also a key part of our experience. We indulged in local delicacies like Chicken Katsudon and Ginger Pork, adding a flavorful twist to our journey. Not to be missed was the Nakanoya Soba Yuzawa Shop, where the soba noodles offered an authentic taste of Japanese culinary traditions.
The Ponshukan Sake Museum inside Echigo Yuzawa Train Station was a highlight, allowing us to sample various sakes and learn about their intricate brewing processes. Additionally, we discovered the unique pleasure of hand and foot baths across town, including a distinctive sake bath experience.
Our day trip to Kiyotsu Gorge was a journey into natural grandeur. The Tunnel of Light, a renowned attraction, presented a mesmerizing blend of art and nature. Finally, our visit to Suwa Shrine added a spiritual dimension, rounding off a trip that beautifully encapsulated Yuzawa's multifaceted allure. This Yuzawa travel guide is a testament to the town's year-round charm, offering myriad activities beyond its famed winter sports.

What to do in Japan in Winter
I spent a week traveling around central Japan, and here are some things you can do in Nagano Prefecture in the winter!
In part 1 of my Japan winter series, I visited the beautiful mountains in Chino and Komagane city in Nagano.
The views at the top of Mt. Kurumayama and Senjojiki Cirque were breathtaking and best of all you can get to the top easily by a ski lift or cable car.
For those who want more of a workout, it's a great starting place to hike to the other mountains in the Japan alps!
Stay tuned for part 2 where I share with you what you can do around the city and a hidden gem in Nagano!

The best place nearby Tokyo to go skiing: Niigata! 日本でスキーに最適な場所！
Planning to travel Japan during the winter? Good idea! If you're a wintersport fanatic like me, Japan is the best place to visit during the cold winter days. Not only does Japan offer the most breathtaking views, they also offer various places to enjoy your winter sports. I went to Niigata (again) with Hiroshi and we ended up staying in Echigo-Yuzawa, and skied for one day in Ishiuchi. We were told that this is maybe the biggest and best area to go skiing. But of course our oba-chan from our hotel was probably biased so I am not sure if this is true, but we defintely had a lot of fun for one day!
