When the Shinkansen Meets Japan’s Worst Winter Storm ｜Tokyo to Gala Yuzawa🚅

When the Shinkansen Meets Japan’s Worst Winter Storm ｜Tokyo to Gala Yuzawa🚅

Just a short ride from the bustling streets of Tokyo lies a breathtaking winter paradise. In this video, I take the Joetsu Shinkansen to GALA Yuzawa, a unique destination where the Shinkansen station is directly connected to the ski resort!

It’s incredible how the landscape transforms from skyscrapers to massive snowbanks in just over an hour. In this journey, I explore:

GALA Yuzawa Ski Resort: The ultimate convenience—step off the train and you’re at the gondola base! Perfect for skiing and snowboarding.

Relaxing Onsen: After enjoying the snow, there’s nothing better than soaking in a traditional Japanese hot spring (Onsen) to warm up.

Echigo-Yuzawa Station: Exploring the local town and the famous “Ponshukan” for sake tasting.

Heavy Snow Scenery: Experience the magic of Japan’s “Snow Country” just 70+ minutes from the city.

Whether you are an avid skier or just want to witness the stunning snowy countryside, Yuzawa is the perfect day trip from Tokyo.
