I had a fantastic experience at Sierra Resort Yuzawa! The service was exceptional, and the onsen was absolutely world-class. However, navigating to the resort from the parking area involves a bit of an uphill walk, which is not great in tough weather. The dining experience was delightful, but I wish the food portions were larger after a long day of skiing. Overall, it's a great spot for a winter getaway with some minor inconveniences.
