01Echigo Yuzawa Onsen
越後湯沢温泉"Snow Country" — 80 min from Tokyo by Shinkansen
川端康成「雪国」の舞台、新幹線で80分
Echigo Yuzawa is the most accessible "real snow country" onsen from Tokyo — just 80 minutes via the Joetsu Shinkansen, exiting the long Daishimizu Tunnel into a transformed white world (the legendary opening of Kawabata's "Snow Country": "The train came out of the long tunnel into the snow country"). GALA Yuzawa is Japan's only ski resort connected directly to its own Shinkansen station, and several more resorts sit within walking distance of Echigo-Yuzawa Station, alongside 60+ ryokan/hotels at every price point. Spring waters are alkaline simple type, soft on the skin. Winter snowfall regularly tops 3 meters in town. Free public footbaths dot the station area.
越後湯沢は東京から「最も近い本物の雪国温泉」で、上越新幹線でわずか80分。大清水トンネルを抜けると白い世界が広がる、川端康成「雪国」の冒頭シーンそのもの(「国境の長いトンネルを抜けると雪国であった」)。新幹線駅直結のガーラ湯沢をはじめ駅周辺に多数のスキー場、価格帯豊富な60軒以上の旅館・ホテル。アルカリ性単純泉で肌に優しい。冬の積雪は街中で3mを越えます。駅前に無料足湯多数。
