Niigata City - Yuzawa: Stylish Traditional Hotels

Nestled in the southern corner of Niigata, Yuzawa is one of Japan’s most easily assessable snow sports hotspots, just 80-90 minutes from Tokyo Station via the Joetsu Shinkansen. With its long winter season, which generally stretches from mid-November to late May, there’s plenty of time to tear up the powder-covered mountains, so here are five stylish and uniquely Japanese accommodation options worth considering when visiting Yuzawa.
