A world of silver spreads out beyond the gondola from the central exit of Ishiuchi Maruyama Ski Resort. It is an area that you can enjoy even without skiing or snowboarding, with a terrace where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Uonuma Plain and Echigo Sanzan, and a kamakura-shaped dome tent that allows you to become one with the snowy landscape. There is also a cafe, so you can of course eat inside, but you can also take it out and enjoy it on the terrace or in the dome tent.

Tsunan Snow Festival started to launch sky lanterns since 2012 as a prayer for recovery from earthquake. As many as 2000 lanterns are launched all together at once! It's so exciting, isn't it? In 2018, Tsunan Snow Festival is held on March 9 and 10.◎You can launch the sky lanterns except for the festival. Some tour agents and hotels at Tsunan take reservation for the lantern launch experience, and I enjoyed it.

’Forest Of Beauties (Bijin Bayashi)' is a forest of beech trees which are 90 years old. For it's a heavy snowfall area, the snow remains till May. But the scenery of the holes around trees appearing when the snow thaws, and the beautiful spring greens, make me feel the changing of seasons. ◎Parking area is available. And you can access by bus from Matsudai Station of Hokuetsu Express Hokuhoku Line.
