letterman 0 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Hi there Just got a question for those who might be in the know. Can someone tell me is Ishiuchi Maruyama actually in Yuzawa town or the next town? My friend says it's in Yuzawa, I say not! Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Ishiuchi Maruyama is in Minamiuonuma-shi (city) which is just to the north of Yuzawa-machi (town). The Ishiuchi area used to be part of Shiozawa-machi (town). But in recent years, Shiozawa-machi (town) has been sucked into Minamiuonuma-shi (city), along with Muikamachi (town). Way too bit of a sprawled out 'city' with no real centre if you ask me, but that's another matter! So Ishiuchi Maruyama is actually in Minamiuonuma-shi. Ishiuchi Maruyama is right next to Yuzawa of course and very close, and the top of the resort is connected to the Gala Yuzawa resort. I wouldn't be surprised if part of the top of Ishiuchi Maruyama wasn't in Yuzawa, and part of Gala Yuzawa is in Minamiuonuma. Both are right on the border of both towns. But officially you win!
