3.Ski Resort Dining
At the Polar Bear restaurant inside Plaza Aurora near Kids Park, you’ll find menus featuring local specialty apples and a wide variety of gourmet dishes that let you savor the flavors of Iizuna Town.
Our recommendation is the “Baked Curry” for ¥1200 (tax included). It’s mildly spicy and generously loaded with vegetables like shimeji mushrooms, bell peppers, and broccoli.
