The Joetsu Shinkansen (bullet train) from Tokyo provides a regular
service to GALA Yuzawa (and Echigo Yuzawa), making a day trip to
GALA Yuzawa from Tokyo very possible. Below are the current
timetables (December 2005) of the Joetsu Shinkansen.
Getting to GALA Yuzawa from Tokyo couldn't be much easier. Take the
Shinkansen bullet train from Tokyo Station and within 90 minutes you
can be at GALA Yuzawa station and minutes away from boarding the
Gondola up to the slopes and powder snow - the station and gondola
are in the same building! (Actual travel times depends on
which train you use).
From
Yuzawa IC, turn right into Route 17. After about 2-3km you
will see the GALA Yuzawa station on your left hand side, and soon
you will also see a GALA signpost on the side of Route 17 - turn
left here and you will soon be at GALA. It's just 5
minutes from the IC.
Car
parking is free on weekdays, 1000 yen on Saturdays and holidays
(inc. Sundays) during the periods 23rd December - 3rd January 2006

Below are the December 2008/2009 Joetsu Shinkansen timetables.
