What other travelers are saying about Kandatsu Snow Resort
4 March 2022 Crowded on a weekday not much area for beginners just ppl everywhere.
Shuttle bus to station was fully packed
With so many other choices in Niigata, Gunma, ibaraki and nagano
I have no reason to come here again
I only came to Kandatsu because Gala was closed, and I was not disappointed. I loved the slopes, which I feel had something for every level. I lost my insta 360 going down a black slope but I managed to find it buried in the snow the 2nd time I descended from the top haha. Unforgettable experience. The resort and rental is very well organised, and the food at the middle of the mountain is nice too. Highly recommended.

Nice resort next to Echigo Yuzawa. It is a good place for intermediate and beginner skiers. Very popular for snowboarders. It can be crowded during the weekend. The mid level chalet has a few good restaurants. The base chalet caters everything you need to ski. Access from Tokyo is easy with Joetsu Shinkansen. 70 minutes from Tokyo station.
Lost one side of my gloves at the ground base and the staff was kind enough to send it to my place in Tokyo in just 2 days. The communication was very smooth. Really appreciate their help.
The resort overall level best suits non first time beginner to lower intermediate riders. The main gelande is packed but you can always find secluded areas. The courses are quite short but the park and beginner zones are great. Beautiful scenery and quality snow.
Rental snowboards come with Burton's StepOn by default. You can also ask for strap ones.
For a day trip, JR Ski Ski deals are the best ones to my knowledge.
It's a very well maintained ski resort that's open night skiing! There are fewer lifts in operation during night skiing, but the lifts are fast, so you can get on the lifts with relatively little waiting. There are fewer lifts in operation during night skiing, but the lifts are fast, so you don't have to wait long to get on a lift. The restaurant is also open, so you can use it when you get hungry after skiing. The night skiing is open until the end of March. The quality of the snow is really good, so I highly recommend you try it out during the winter season!☃
