【2026シーズン】上越国際スキー場（2026.1.18）家族でスキー（Family skiing in JOETSU KOKUSAI）

This time, for the 2026 season, we went on our first overnight ski trip in a while! We stayed one night in Sakae Village, Nagano Prefecture, and two nights in Minamiuonuma, Niigata Prefecture, using the Passart Alltrack for our overnight ski trip to Sakae Club & Joetsu Kokusai! Day 2: Joetsu Kokusai Ski Resort in Minamiuonuma City, Niigata Prefecture♪ Yesterday at Sakae Club ended at noon due to rain, but snow started falling in Yuzawa overnight, leaving the slopes packed with fresh powder♪ Covering the entire vast Joetsu Kokusai resort is tough, so this time we focused solely on the Toma slopes. It was an amazing day skiing every inch of Toma. The weather kept snowing all day, so the views from the summit were a bit disappointing, but the super dynamic slopes had an absolutely top-notch atmosphere! It was an extremely satisfying trip to Joetsu Kokusai Ski Resort. By the way, the night before, we stayed at the super popular inn in Tokamachi, “Oku Echigo Ryokan Ichibankan”! It was an incredibly good value, we enjoyed authentic kaiseki cuisine, soaked in the hot springs, and it was the best inn ever♪ It's a bit of a drive from the Yuzawa area, but amazingly, it's only a 15-minute drive from Joetsu Kokusai's Toma slope! If you're visiting Joetsu Kokusai, you absolutely must stay here! It's such an amazing inn, so please check it out!♪
