Niigata Prefecture is known for its heavy snowfall during winter, which can still be seen in some areas even in late spring. The Yuzawa Kogen Spring Snow Festival takes advantage of this remaining snow by offering sledding and fun games. Food trucks will also be available from May 3rd through 5th during the event.
The festival’s unique appeal lies in the opportunity to experience the last remnants of winter while enjoying the fresh greens of spring. The venue offers spectacular views, adding to the overall charm of the event. Ropeway tickets are required to access the festival, priced at ¥ 2600 for adults and ¥ 1300 for children (round trip). Visitors are advised to bring yen for any additional food or drink purchases.
