2025 02 Yuzawa: Day trip to Joetsu Kokusai
Day trip to Joetsu Kokusai, on a 3 day National Holiday weekend. Left at 5:15AM and arrived at the Snow Country at around 7:30AM, and on the hill by 8AM. Joetsu is spread out of a number of hills, unfortunately, lifts are slow, and runs are short and best suited for beginners. Very snowy, with great snow, and not as busy as expected for a 3 day weekend. Had quick onsen at Yama no Yu (https://sp.yuzawaonsen.com/), small basic local onsen.
