20 Unique Hotels in Japan

Ishiuchi Maruyama Ski Resort is about a 1-minute walk away, and Gala Yuzawa Snow Resort is about a 5-minute shuttle bus ride away. Echigo Yuzawa Station on the Joetsu Shinkansen is about a 10-minute taxi or shuttle bus ride away. This is a convenient lodging for skiing and snowboarding. From spring to autumn, we recommend sightseeing in Echigo Yuzawa, Minami Uonuma, and Tokamachi. Popular meals include local meat, the famous Minami Uonuma Koshihikari rice, and Yukimuro coffee.

A pension hotel with a southern European style white building that makes you feel like you are at a resort. For dinner, besides a Japanese-Western meal with sashimi served on a boat-like plate, you can also book a complimentary car to go to a sushi bar. They provide a breakfast with all-you-can-eat freshly baked bread.
