Ludens Yuzawa was a small ski area behind the Ludens Village hotel in Tsuchitaru, Yuzawa, a few kilometres from Echigo-Yuzawa Station. It opened in 1973 as Nakazato Showa and later traded as Ludens Showa before taking its current name. Its northeast-facing slopes ran from about 450 m to 680 m, with wide gentle runs and a kids' area that suited families staying at the hotel. In its later years it had a single lift. The hotel and slopes stopped winter operation from the 2018-19 season for what was called full maintenance, no reopening has been announced, and the property was later put up for sale.
