Yakeyama Onsen

Itoigawa City, Niigata Prefecture

焼山温泉スキー場 新潟県糸魚川市

Yakeyama Onsen was a small ski area located to the south of central Itoigawa City in the south-west region of Niigata Prefecture. The gentle slope at this ski area was on the northern foothills of Niigata Yakeyama and to the north west of Mt Myoko. This area is geographically quite close to Myoko, but a journey to the north around the mountains is necessary to get there. Yakeyama Onsen closed in 2004.
