The Akakura area in Myoko City, Niigata Prefecture is famous for its Akakura Hot Spring and has become a well-known tourist attraction.

Not only can visitors fully enjoy the hot springs, it is also a popular ski resort in the winter.

Taking the Shinkansen from Tokyo Station to Myoko Kogen Station, which is closest to the ski resort, only takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes, and the transportation is very convenient. The combination of hot springs and skiing here is one of the classic experiences you must try when visiting Japan in winter!
