ライオンズマンション越後湯沢第２

It can be seen from the Shinkansen.

It's a great situation to enjoy skiing.

Location, management, price. I think it's the best apartment.

About 7 years ago, I replaced the Seibu resort condominium in Naeba, which I owned for nearly 20 years, with this condominium. Seibu hotels have lost their energy, and even Naeba has reduced its summer business, the restaurants and delica shops in the condominium have disappeared, the Shirakabahira slope has been closed, and the ski inn in Asagai has been closed due to the agitation. It was conspicuous, and even the mini supermarket was closed, making the apartment uncomfortable to live in. In addition, due to changes in the life cycle, families often act separately, and it is easy to go not only by car but also by Shinkansen, and you can enjoy not only skiing but also hot springs. I decided to look for. I spent nearly two years choosing an apartment so that I wouldn't repeat my mistakes at Naeba. I went around the condominiums in the hot spring town of Yuzawa, the condominiums next to NASPA, and the condominiums next to Iwappara. When I went to Iwahara by taxi from Yuzawa station, it was a pity that it was unexpectedly expensive. The apartment next to NASPA is also a taxi, but it's close, so my wife liked it at first. I used to go to Prince Hotels almost every day during the Naeba era. Especially in the summer, it was customary to eat at the Prince Hotel and let her daughter play at the amusement park in front of the hotel. The Naspa Adjacent Mansion felt like having a room at the Prince Hotel. However, I had to give up eating at the hotel every time because it didn't suit my family's financial strength. Therefore, we focused on hot spring towns where you can freely choose the place to eat, buy ingredients easily, and do not need to pay a taxi fare. The house can't afford the purchase price itself, but I thought that running costs such as management costs would become a burden when the frequency of use decreased. And the first thing I liked was Famil Villa. The floor plan was similar to that of an apartment in the Naeba era, and the management cost was acceptable. I was worried that the view from the window did not have a resort feel, but it is the easiest to reach from the station. In the winter season, I went to Naeba for a field survey and walked from the condominium to the shuttle bus stop. Then, it was hard to walk due to snow, and the shuttle bus stop was in front of the 3rd gate of Lions Mansion. In this case, even if I put up with the narrow floor plan, I felt that Lions Mansion No. 3 would be better. In addition, if the floor plan is allowed, Lions Mansion No. 2 in front of the ropeway was also added as a candidate. As for the building itself, the third one was clearly better, and when both were guided to the real estate agent at the same time, the third one was in charge. However, when I looked around with my own feet after that, I felt a big attraction for the second, such as staying at the Prince Hotel right in front of the ski resort, so I narrowed it down to two options. However, in the summer, I couldn't stand the hot spring town without an air conditioner, and I was hesitant to replace Naeba with a hot spring town until the end because it was never a summer resort. So, this time, during the peak of the heat, I drove from Naeba to the field survey. When I went down from Naeba, the hot spring town was stuffy. At that time, I went up to the summer plateau area by ropeway for the first time, but the coolness was the same as Naeba, and there were many tourists, and I felt like a resort. So, by thinking, "It's cool in the morning and evening, so if it's hot in the daytime, you can take a ropeway," the hesitation to buy a new one from Naeba for my family was removed, and I settled down at Lions Mansion No. 2. The following are the impressions I have used. I thought it would be a little difficult in winter to walk 10 minutes from Yuzawa station, but there was no problem because the free shuttle bus runs frequently. The green season is the main street of the hot spring town, so if you walk with hot spring guests wearing yukata, you will feel like a resort. I found various reasonable meals. During the ski season, you can go directly to the slopes from the ski locker exit, ski and go to the ropeway platform. It is a paradise in the sky at an altitude of 1000m with a 7-minute ride. Restaurant Edelweiss offers an elegant time by the window with a nice view. Even at the free rest area in the same building, I take a short break like reading a book in the study. The last one is quite slippery when you run non-stop with an altitude difference of 800m from the mountaintop to the back door of the condominium. The day after the snowfall, I get up early, put on my fat, and go up to the plateau with the first ropeway. When the fresh snow to put on the spur is gone, I come back once, go to the hot springs, have lunch, rejuvenate, and go skiing instead of the demo board. The benefits of having an apartment in a ski area are even more apparent when the family accompanies you. Leaving the family who are tired of skiing the day before and having difficulty getting up, I feel the location is good when I ski alone in the morning and ski with my family in the afternoon. As for the summer heat, there is nothing to block because the front and back are slopes, so when you open the window, a magnificent view and a cool breeze come in, and the ropeway rises from the front of the apartment, so unexpectedly I feel like a summer resort. It was also correct to give priority to summer and move it to the north side. The summer plateau area has more tourists than the ski season, doubling the resort feel. The altitude is 1000m and it is as cool as Naeba, so when I stay in the condominium, I go up by ropeway every afternoon. Recently, the whole family has been buying highland ski season tickets and glee season tickets. Then, you can enjoy the plateau area all year round without spending daily expenses, feeling like a private slope or a private garden in an apartment. Even if the season ticket is combined with summer, it costs about 34,000 yen if you use a discount ticket. Also, if you have a season ticket for the plateau, you can buy a one-day ticket for Gala for 1000 yen, so I go on an expedition once every two days at Landor. It is quite a big slope when you slide through the plateau area and the gala area. You can also use the Komakusa hot water at the ropeway platform with the season ticket. I feel like an apartment with two hot springs, soaking in Dicentra on the way back from a walk on the plateau. By the way, the prices of resort condominiums have been declining recently. For those who want to enjoy skiing and hot springs at a reasonable price, there is no choice but to take advantage of their chances. However, a solid future outlook is also important. From that point, I would like to pay more attention to the amount of management costs and the actual operation status rather than the main unit price. Hot springs are absolutely necessary, but pools and restaurants may have been excessive now. Many condominiums are already closed except for hot springs. The maintenance plan for the shared facility, which was too luxurious, was unreasonable. In that sense, when viewing a second-hand property, you should focus on the quality of maintenance rather than the luxury of shared facilities. If you spend the management fee on the maintenance of excessive shared facilities including the shuttle bus, you will not spend money on renewing the paint on the outer wall and renewing the piping of the internal pipes. If you neglect to renew the paint on the outer wall, the concrete will be neutralized and its useful life will be shortened rapidly. For that reason, it is not good if the management cost is low, and it is necessary to have rationality that can be managed with it. The hot springs alone cannot be maintained unless they are of a scale that matches the total number of units. The larger the building, the more advantageous it is, but if you have an apartment of the same size, you can maintain a large hot spring with a small burden by increasing the number of units in a small section. In that respect, the strategy for this condominium is clear. A small section of 30 square meters is standardized, and each unit has a reasonable management cost, making it possible for ordinary office workers to own it for a long time. In addition, the management union firmly selects a management company, negotiates terms, and re-concludes the contract. The common space is as clean as a hotel because employees of the cleaning company come to clean it every day. I'm surprised at how different it is from Naeba's apartment. Before I bought it, I was interested in the tatami room, but when I tried using it, I realized that the tatami mats allow a family to sleep comfortably even in this size. Now, we are trying to change the image like a luxury hot spring inn with folk art furniture. In my experience, it is a wise choice to value the resort environment around the condominium rather than the amenities in the condominium. This is because there is no maintenance cost in the resort environment around the condominium. It is unlikely that the old birds will sing in the hot spring town and plateau area of ​​Yuzawa, which is conveniently located just an hour by bullet train from Tokyo. Recently, the number of tourists visiting hot springs and snowy landscapes from Asia has increased dramatically, and it is bustling throughout the year. The resort environment, which is a combination of the hot spring inn town of Yuzawa and the plateau area in the summer and winter, seems to have an internationality that will not go away unlike Naeba, which is only skiing. Well, the confused phrase "results are all right", for me "the capital if I live". I hope that you can find an apartment that will be the "results" and "the capital if you live" by properly organizing the conditions required by each lifestyle.

I visited my friend's room. There is a slope for beginners in front of you, and the departure and arrival place of the ropeway is in front of you across the road, so it is a very good place for skiing and walking in the city. The apartment had a hot spring and it looked like a hotel. It was also nice to see the fireworks rising from Gala on Saturdays and Sundays.
