Ishiuchi opened for the 2025-2026 winter season on 19 December 2025. With 23 courses, it is one of the largest resorts in the Yuzawa area, and it connects to GALA Yuzawa and Yuzawa Kogen.
The resort is becoming a stay-and-play resort. It has an observation terrace and cafe where people who do not ski can enjoy the view, by day and at night. It is about 10 minutes by bus from Echigo-Yuzawa Station.
