This time we rode a gondola (no reservation was needed) to the top of Yuzawa Kogen, a mountain in Niigata but actually famous for wintersport! When there is no snow here however, there are still many things to do on this mountain. Yuzawa Kogen has a bob slee ride, a very good pizza hut, some elevators that’ll take you up and down for free and some hiking tracks. Make sure to go on a sunny day as you won’t be able to see a lot of the pretty nature if it’s rainy since the mountain will be covered in clouds!
