GALA Yuzawa (Yuzawa, Niigata) - 25th December 2013


Recommended Posts

Gala is ultra convenient with its own Shinkansen station close by Echigo Yuzawa station.

Fastest from Tokyo is just under 80 minutes.

Get off the train, buy a ticket at the counter and walk 50m to the gondola.

It might be worth mentioning 2 things:

 

Weekends can be or certainly used to be mad busy. Gala isn't good at all when it's busy. I would definitely make it a weekday place.

 

They were today being very insistent about ducking ropes being a big no-no. Special messages over the speaker every so often in Japanese, English and Chinese.

Thanks.

The downhill course is actually quite good if there's no-one else getting in the way.

Kind of like Nozawa Skyline in a way, in parts.

Gets a bit wiggly down in the lower part but some good stretches higher up.
