点评:It's less 1.5 hours by shinkansen from Tokyo, but is quite far from the Echigo-Yuzawa train station. There are buses from the train station but you need to check the schedule before you travel because they are not that frequent. We took a cab from the train station to get to the entrance to the resort, and asked the resort staff to phone a cab to take us back to the train station.
The advantage of this resort is that it opens in November and you can spend as much time or as little time as you want. There are frequent shinkansen trips from Echigo-Yuzawa (the trip back to Tokyo can be a bit crowded though).
We went to the resort (Mitsumata) to experience snow. We come from a tropical country and wanted to see snow. We were not disappointed. The snow was thick; from what I've seen on the forecasts, it was snowing every night there since November. The town of Yuzawa was also enveloped with snow; it's a very quiet town but it has the usual Japanese shops and restaurants.
You take a ropeway (gondola) from the resort entrance to the ski area. A round-trip costs only 2,000 yen.
There is a restaurant at the top of the ropeway, and although the food choices were limited (curry, fries), the drink (hot drink, cold drink) were refillable. The cost is reasonable.
I would like to go back to this place, this time spending at least one night so I don't have to hurry back to Tokyo.
翻译:从东京乘坐新干线不到 1.5 小时即可到达,但距离越后汤泽火车站相当远。火车站有公交车,但您需要在出行前查看时刻表,因为车次不多。我们从火车站打车到度假村入口,并让度假村工作人员叫出租车送我们回火车站。
这个度假村的优势在于它在 11 月开放,您可以根据自己的意愿花多或少的时间。从越后汤泽出发有频繁的新干线班次(不过返回东京的旅程可能会有点拥挤)。
我们去度假村(三椐)体验雪景。我们来自热带国家,想看雪景。我们没有失望。雪很厚;从天气预报来看,从 11 月开始那里每晚都在下雪。汤泽镇也被雪覆盖;这是一个非常安静的小镇,但有常见的日本商店和餐馆。
从度假村入口乘坐缆车(吊车)前往滑雪场。往返仅需 2,000 日元。
缆车顶部有一家餐厅,虽然食物选择有限(咖喱、薯条),但饮料(热饮、冷饮)可以续杯。价格合理。
我想再来这里,这次至少住一晚,这样我就不必急着回东京了。
