Located near Echigo-Yuzawa and surrounded by majestic nature, Naeba is home to the Dragondola-Japan's longest gondola, stretching 5,481 meters through the autumn sky. From its panoramic windows, the breathtaking tapestry of red, gold, and orange foliage unfolds below, making it an unrivaled seasonal experience. Historically, this was a place where people gathered to celebrate the changing seasons and live in harmony with the mountains. In autumn, the valleys bathed in color and the crisp mountain air have long offered a quiet sense of fulfillment.
During the ride, you'll feel as if you are gliding through the sky, passing golden peaks, crimson slopes, shimmering lakes, and distant ridgelines. At the summit station, fresh alpine breezes and sweeping views welcome you.
At Naeba Prince Hotel, we offer a stay that embraces this magnificent natural setting. Many rooms overlook the mountains, while our restaurants serve seasonal autumn menus featuring local flavors. After a day's adventure, unwind in the hot springs or spa, and when night falls, gaze up at a sky full of stars-a moment of pure connection with nature.
