The appeal of Zao's Okama is its unique location, where you can experience both mystical scenery and the power of nature.
Okama is a crater lake located in the heart of the Zao mountain range, characterized by its sparkling emerald-green surface. This vibrant color changes depending on the weather, season, and sunlight, offering a different look every time you visit. Its beauty has earned it the nickname "Zao Blue," attracting many tourists and photography enthusiasts. 📸
Located at an altitude of approximately 1,600 meters, the air is cool and refreshing even in summer. From the observation deck, you can enjoy panoramic views of the rugged crater walls surrounding Okama and the majestic Zao mountain range. If you're lucky, you may even encounter mystical scenes such as a sea of clouds, sunsets, and starry skies.
The area around Okama is also home to blooming alpine plants from spring to summer, autumn foliage in autumn, and snowy landscapes in winter, allowing you to enjoy the magnificent changes of nature throughout the year. It's also a perfect destination for hiking and driving.
Zao Okama is a place where you can experience the power and beauty of nature with your whole body—a special experience. It's beloved by many as a power spot where you can escape from everyday life and refresh your mind and body.
