Pick the experience you want to remember: a snow day in Yuzawa, a sake discovery, a warm bath or a meal worth travelling for.
Choose your next detour
Snow
Make Echigo-Yuzawa your starting point for a winter resort day. Choose skiing or snowboarding as the main event, then leave the evening for a warm meal or an onsen stay.
Sake
Explore sake through its aromas, flavours and the food beside it. A tasting can be a small detour of its own, with time to compare and discover what you enjoy.
Onsen
For an easy bath stop from Tokyo, explore Ponshukan’s indoor sake bath inside Echigo-Yuzawa Station. Our day-trip model combines the bath with time for lunch and a relaxed return.
Food
Try Niigata’s tare-katsu rice bowl, make time for sushi, or share a tray of hegi soba. Start with the dish you want to taste, then choose a city stop nearby.
