湯沢町
Yuzawa is a mountain and hot-spring town in Niigata, with Echigo-Yuzawa Station as a useful starting point. It is distinct from Yuzawa City in Akita. Choose the highland park and local snow-country museum as separate visits.
This guide covers places within Yuzawa, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
