Tokyo Wide Pass - where to see snow

I will be travelling to Tokyo around this Christmas and New Year (22 Dec 2019 to 1 Jan 2020).
I am thinking of getting the JR Tokyo Wide Pass (since it is much cheaper than the JR pass 7 days).
Using this pass where can i go to to see snow other than Gala Yuzawa? I will be glad if someone can give me some suggestions.
It can be a City or a small town (but not a town which is so small that it has nothing interesting) It has to be a place where the chances of having snow is very very high.
At this location, i would love to stay in a Ryokan which has a private Onsen.
I am planning to spend 4 nights in Tokyo and go over to this other location for 2 nights and then back to Tokyo again for 4 nights.

Why do you exclude Gala Yuzawa or Echigo-Yuzawa or Iwappara?
They should have snow at end Dec and are easy to reach from Tokyo and within The validity of the pass.
Itfs kind of you are excluding the best option you have to achieve your goal.

Is there things to see/ do/ shop around Gala Yuzawa or Echigo-Yuzawa?
The last time when i was in Gala Yuzawa and Echigo-Yuzawa, it was in February and the town was full of snow on the ground. For my upcoming trip in December (around 28 - 28 Dec), do you think there will be snow in the town? or am i only able to see snow up in the ski resort?
Yes Kusatsu seems like there are more things to see/ do/ shop compared to Echigo-Yuzawa.
The same question, will there be snow on the ground in December? around 26 to 28 of dec i will be going that area.

I spent Christmas Eve night at Manza Onsen back in 2013. There was a lovely amount of snow. As for things to do, onsen or snow sports. But really, sitting in a rotenburo as snow falls is as good as it gets for ultimate relaxation.

And as for things to do around Echigo Yuzawa - drink sake at the station.

Has anyone been to both Nozawa onsen and Kusatsu Onsen? How would you compare this 2 places?
My gf and I, we do not know how to ski, therefore will not be skiing. So we prefer a place which has a little bit of shopping, things to see, places to visit, and a place which has more restaurant and cafes.
