NASPA is an easy journey from Tokyo, taking about 80 minutes by
train from central Tokyo or just a few hours by car.
The journey from Tokyo takes you north through Saitama and Gunma
Prefectures and into Yuzawa Town.
To get an idea of where NASPA is in
relation to the center of Yuzawa Town, check out the Course Map of
the resort here.
NASPA is located very close to the center of Yuzawa Town, which is only
a 80 minute train ride from Tokyo using the Joetsu Shinkansen
“bullet train” service. (Actual times vary, but the
journey time is usually between 70 and 90 minutes) |

Once in Yuzawa, NASPA provides a free shuttle bus service from the
main Echigo Yuzawa station (and other main parts of the town).
The journey from the station to the resort takes only a few
minutes.

Using the Kanetsu Expressway from Tokyo (Nerima Interchange),
you can be in Yuzawa in about 2 hours (this may be more due to
severe weather conditions in winter).
NASPA is just a 5 minute drive from the Yuzawa Interchange (Yuzawa
I.C.) of the Kanetsu Expressway.
Directions from Yuzawa IC:
After leaving the Interchange toll booths, turn right onto
Route 17 at the first set of traffic lights.
Go straight ahead and through another two set of lights.
At the next set of lights, you should see a large NASPA sign on
the left hand side of the road - turn left here.
Go past Yuzawa Town Office, over the local train line, under the
Shinkansen line and you will come to a T-junction after about 500
meters. Turn left at this T-junction.
If you follow this road you will soon arrive at NASPA.


Narita International Airport is actually a 1 hour train journey
from the center of Tokyo, but the journey from the airport into
Tokyo is simple.
The best way is to use one of the two high speed train services
- the Narita Express (J.R.) and the Keisei Skyliner (private
company line).
Both of these trains can be taken from either of Narita's 2
terminals, and are well-signposted.
They both take about 1 hour from Narita into central Tokyo.
Take either one of these services to Tokyo Station (Tokyo-eki),
and then transfer to the Joetsu Shinkansen.
