Free shuttle bus services run throughout the day from the station to most of the local resorts and taxis are available outside the West Exit.
If you are travelling by car, exit the highway at the Yuzawa I.C. (Kan-Etsu Exit 16), all of the resorts have ample parking, though you may have to pay on weekends and busy weekdays.
