Yuzawa Nakazato Snow Resort 1-Day Lift Ticket + Rental

Experience an unforgettable day in the snow at Yuzawa Nakazato Snow Resort, one of the favorite spots in the Echigo Yuzawa area. This great-value package includes a 1-day lift ticket and gear rentals at a discounted price, making it easier than ever to enjoy the slopes. 

With 16 different runs to choose from, there’s something for everyone—gentle, wide slopes for beginners and families and steeper trails for those looking for a challenge. Kids will love the Smile Kids Park, where they can sled, snow tube, and play in the snow with the help of snow escalators.

Don’t have your own gear? No worries! This package covers rentals for skis, snowboards, and even clothing, so you can show up with just your winter spirit. Angel Slope is perfect for trying out skiing or snowboarding for the first time, while free rest areas around the resort give you a place to relax between runs.
