Echigo-Yuzawa: Yuzawa Highlands Ropeway and Ponshukan
A perfect one-day course in Echigo-Yuzawa that departs right from the Shinkansen station, ideal for a light train-based couple's trip. Ascend to the highlands in one of the world's largest-class gondolas, and the hot spring town and Echigo mountain ranges spread out below. In the afternoon, stroll along a quiet lakeside that mirrors "the Matterhorn of the East," Daigenryu-san, then visit a museum that brings the world of the novel "Snow Country" to life. The perfect ending is a sake-tasting tour at Ponshukan in the station building, comparing Niigata's local sake—a couples' journey by train.
