Yuzawa is covered in white throughout winter, and so when spring comes it makes a pleasant change to see new green on the trees and flowers in blossom. This is the time when ‘sansai’ mountain vegetables sprout all over the town great for making tempura, and to put in soup.

Japanese summers are hot, but Yuzawa is a great place to avoid the excesses of city heat. The green environment allows for cooler temperatures, especially during the evening. The wide open spaces of Yuzawa’s ski resorts are put to good use in summer there are many music festivals to enjoy

When the temperature drops during the fall, the leaves on the mountain trees change into a riot of colouｒs; vivid reds, yellows and orange, which create the most spectacular scenery. Autumn is also the time of the rice harvest. The Yuzawa area is famous for its ‘koshi-hikari’ rice the most valued brand of rice in the country.

With its huge amounts of snowfall and mountainous terrain, it was only natural that Yuzawa should become a mecca for winter sports. Snow clouds generated over Siberia pick up precipitation from the Sea of Japan, and Yuzawa is the first mountain range that such clouds meet. This leads to massive snowfalls averaging 11.7m over the past 10 years.

Yuzawa is one of the main ski and snowboard towns in Japan, a snow paradise hosting over 6 million skiers and snowboarders per year. With 16 ski resorts in the Yuzawa area, the only problem is deciding which resort to visit each day. The sheer amount of ski resorts allows for a great variety that only Yuzawa can provide – beginners, intermediate and advanced skiers and riders all have resorts dedicated to their needs.

There are a number of resorts within easy reach of the main station, ranging from small slopes near the center of town to the large Mount just 30 minutes away. All resorts unless otherwise noted are open to both skiers and snowboarders.
