22 July 2008 - 15:00Nigata Trip

I and my friend went to Shiozawa in Nigata prefecture to enjoy summer of resort place.  We departed my house at Friday night, and it does take about 4 hours drive to get resort place. When we arrived, hot springs are waiting for us. It was soooo nice!!

We also went restaurant called “Keyaki Tei” to eat Open egg omelet & rice!

I would say that this restaurant has the best Open egg omelet & rice in Japan!!  Uhhh, Yammy!!

At night, we went to Japanese Sake Bar (Izakaya) called “Yakushi”, to have a dinner & some nice Japanese Sake!! Nigata is not only known as Ski resort but also known as a source of Japanese SAKE!!

It’s nice to visit Yuzawa area in summer too.  In the morning, we went to visit a fishing park. I felt it’s a nice place to have some fun with family, friends, and girlfriend & boyfriend. This fishing park has a BBQ place, so you can have a trout BBQ lunch (you just fished) after fishing.



We also visit Yuzawa & Gala ski resorts. First, we took The Yuzawa Kogen Ropeway to reach hillside of the mountain (Elevation 1,172m), and you can see the magnificent view of the town and surrounding area.  At the top of the mountain there is a mountain-side toboggan run (706m) and a beautiful Alpine Flower Park featuring hundreds of varieties of seasonal flowers.
