Highlights

  • Experience riding on the JR Shinkansen, Japan's pride and joy, a high-speed train! There's no need to worry about traffic jams and it's punctual, so you'll have plenty of time to enjoy the snow.


  • It's definitely a good deal! The trip price includes a round-trip ticket for unreserved seats on the Joetsu Shinkansen and a round-trip ticket for the Ishiuchi Maruyama Gondola.


  • The Joetsu Shinkansen is a round-trip unreserved seat plan, so you can leave and return at any time you like. This plan offers a high degree of freedom and allows you to move around according to your own schedule.


  • It's just a little over an hour from Tokyo on the Joetsu Shinkansen, so you can enjoy dinner in Tokyo after a day of fun!


  • Enjoy an aerial stroll on the gondola at Ishiuchi Maruyama. A world of silvery white snow spreads before you.


  • On a clear day, you can see the impressive, vast snow-capped mountains from the observation terrace cafe at The Veranda. (Please note that this is subject to weather conditions.)


  • When the conditions are right, you can see the sea of clouds and the Echigo mountains dyed in the sunset.


  • The Observation Cafe offers a wide variety of meals and sweets in a relaxed and calm atmosphere.


  • At ROKKA, you can enjoy a taste of the food culture of a snowy country, dishes made with koji and sake lees from the famous sake brand "Hakkaisan," as well as Japanese sake and original drinks.


  • The dome tent (fee required, same-day reservations available at Ishiuchi Resort Center) will give you a private space to enjoy the snowy scenery with your family and friends. It's sure to look great! Please give it a try!


  • Tickets for the Joetsu Shinkansen, gondola tickets, and other coupons must be issued by the customer on the day of the event.
