This site provides info on Yuzawa town - the setting for 'Snow Country', a novel by Nobel Prize-winning author Yasunori Kawabata. Yuzawa is a perfect place to escape the bustle of Tokyo - only 77 minutes by bullet train.
The website is dedicated to winter sports, and with an online English language booking system makes it easy to book train tickets and accommodation - something that can otherwise be very difficult if you do not know Japanese.
