Important: About NASPA Ski Garden opening

NASPA Ski Garden will be open until Tuesday 10th March 2020

While there is some fresh snowfall forecast for Yuzawa this coming week, taking into consideration the wider forecast and continued generally milder forecast temperatures, NASPA Ski Garden has announced that it will be closing for the current season at the end of the day on Tuesday 10th March 2020.

We realise that this will be a disappointment for many people but considering the safe enjoyment of snow and what are acceptable conditions, we feel that this is a necessary decision. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Christmas tree and the first snows of the season

Good morning all.

Snow is falling at higher elevations in Yuzawa town this morning and there is a real feeling of winter fast approaching. NASPA Ski Garden plans to open from Friday 20th December.

If you visit NASPA right now, as you enter the hotel you can't help but notice the beautiful 7m tall Christmas tree on display in the Garden Lounge on the Lobby Floor. Photos don't do it justice!

Exciting times ahead...

Looking forward to autumn!

After a hot summer, daytime temperatures are now on the way down and evenings are becoming noticeably cooler.

Autumn is always a lovely time to be here in Yuzawa with comfortable temperatures as well as stunning natural scenery. Look out for the beautiful colourful autumn leaves in the Yuzawa region from October through November.

New shuttle bus timetables have been added to the site for the autumn months:
