GALA Yuzawa has its own Shinkansen train station right at the base of the ski resort. Step off the train, pick up your pass and gear and you're ready to go!
About 1.5hr trip from Tokyo, all you need is to get your ski pass from the Info Counter, to rent a ski/snow board, ski wears at the Rental Counter, and go out for ski!
