Gala Yuzawa, Japan

Introduction

Conveniently located, it even has its own bullet train stop, (one along from Echigo Yuzawa) this is a modern set-up, especially popular with the younger day trippers. Here you don?t have to endure a 10-minute bus journey but you will have to put up with higher prices and unfriendly staff (even a single locker costs #5).
