My Recommendation
The park setup punches well above expectations for Yuzawa — this is where the park riders come to session. The base station and gondola infrastructure is impressively modern. Just know that the lift network requires about three transfers to go top-to-bottom, and the lower elevation means snow can turn heavy on warmer days.
About the Resort
A long-running Yuzawa classic with three base zones and fast lift access, Ishiuchi Maruyama blends broad groomers, night skiing, and a modern summit experience—The Veranda at Ishiuchi—with sweeping views over the Uonuma plain. It’s minutes from Echigo-Yuzawa and links easily with nearby resorts for longer trips.
