What other travelers are saying about GALA Yuzawa Ski Resort
Definitely one of the busier and commercial feeling ski resorts here. Read up on how to beat the crowd. Having said that, the facilities are plentiful and thoughtful. Slopes are fun for the entire family. They have staff who assist you with the free winter shuttle bus service. Definitely worth the visit.

Mad genius idea for a day trip from Tokyo. Well organized / efficient setup - train station with rental, storage and cabin that takes you to the ski lifts with good options from beginner (green, blue) to intermediate (red) and some advanced (black). There’s also a spa (onsen) - enjoyable but not special. Food options limited but ok.

I brought the Tokyo Wide Pass (10,000 yen) when I arrived in Tokyo, and settled in hotel in Karuizawa. The reason I was not skiing in Karuizawa was that they use artificial snow which is less comfortable. On my second day I took JR to Gala Yuzawa (which is free!) and can see snowing once you get off JR (how exciting it is to a boy living in sub-tropical region). I joined the skiing with discount price (discount + 10% for equipment rental), and you can tell how much I have saved. The routes are of different difficulties, and for beginners there are coaches that speaks English and Chinese. It worth spend one day or more to this resort.

It was breathtakingly beautiful, and I came in winter to see snow. It was my first experience of a real snowfall. It was cold but very nice and fun for children and adults. It is kid friendly too, there are rental skiing shoes for infants, juniors, and adults. The shoes were a little hard to put on and I got a scratch or two on my legs because of the shoes. They were kind of uncomfortable but overall okay. They are also a little hard to walk with, but it is worth it. The service includes clothing in all sizes and the staff are kind. It will be hard to ski if you are a beginner, there are not many hills to ski on. The snowy ground is perfect for playing in and the snow is soft and powdery. To make snowballs you have to crunch them up. I would recommend it.

there are lots of tourists here and it's best to check the weather first before coming here, if the weather isn't clear the view of the mountains which should be beautiful won't be visible at all, the rental fee is quite expensive
