I had a wonderful stay at Sierra Resort Yuzawa with my family for a winter getaway. The service was exceptional, with thoughtful touches like a complimentary mini bar and a gourmet dinner that was delicious every night. The location is a bit tricky, as there’s a bit of a walk from the car park, but the gorgeous views from the hotel made it worthwhile. While the skiing conditions varied, the overall experience was lovely, aside from a few challenges getting to the lifts. I definitely plan to come back.

I had a lovely stay at Sierra Resort Yuzawa with my family. The hospitality was top-notch, and the amenities like the onsen really made it special. However, the location posed some challenges, especially with the uphill walk back to the resort after skiing. Overall, we enjoyed our time here, although the ski accessibility could use some improvement.

Sierra Resort Yuzawa is a beautiful spot for a family winter getaway. The staff is incredibly attentive, and the onsen experience is world-class. However, the resort's location poses some challenges, especially during inclement weather, and while the dining is enjoyable, my boys found it not quite filling enough after a day on the slopes.

Sierra Resort Yuzawa is a lovely spot for a winter getaway, complete with beautiful on-site amenities and attentive service. The onsen and gourmet dining were highlights, but the location requires a bit of effort to access and the ski in/out experience could be improved. Overall, it offers a relaxing stay despite a couple of minor drawbacks.
