❄️Three experiences at Mount Zao in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan: hot springs ♨️ skiing ⛷️ tree ice ❄️

Mount Zao in Yamagata Prefecture is a place where you can enjoy hot spring bathing, skiing, and viewing the amazing sight of frozen trees. It is worth recommending to everyone.

From Tokyo, take the JR Yamagata Shinkansen 🚄 and arrive at Yamagata Station in about 2.5 hours. Then transfer to the franchised bus 🚌 to Zao Onsen, which takes about 40 minutes.

Zao Onsen Ski Resort offers a variety of ski trails of varying difficulty. It is recommended to reserve two days for skiing. On the first day, play the novice route. On the second day, you can take different chairlifts to higher places and ski while admiring the frost trees. For example, the Zao Daigongendo at Chuo Kogen Station has beautiful scenery and a relatively easy route. It is worth mentioning that the snow in the ski resort is soft and slippery, and it won’t hurt too much if a novice accidentally falls 👍🏼 If you feel pain in your bones after skiing, you can go to the bathhouse to soak in the hot springs to relax 🧖

Starting from Zaoshan Station at the end of the hot spring street, take the cable car 🚡 to Juhyo Plateau Station and Jizo Mountain Summit Station. As soon as you exit the station, you can see the full wonders of Juhyo and Jizo statues. In addition, the "Tree Ice Fantasy Corridor" and night lighting events are held at specific times in winter. Please check the official website for details.

In summary, one place has three different experiences. Why not take a three-day and two-night ski and hot spring tree ice tour in winter? ⭐️
