Yamagata Zao: Autumn color cable car, a must-see spot in Japan

Yamagata Zao has a vast area and is lush and green in spring and summer. It is an excellent mountain-viewing spot in Yamagata Prefecture. In autumn, the green mountains gradually change into orange, yellow, and red autumn clothes. The warm-toned painting of nature is rich in layers and will amaze you no matter how many times you see it.


Take the Zao Cable Car at the Zao Cable Car Foothill Line to overlook the entire autumn scenery of the earth from a high altitude. The red, orange and yellow interlaced leaves on the entire mountain are bright and shocking. In addition, the red leaves begin to gradually move from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, so the period for appreciation is very long, bringing a different charm.

When you arrive at Zao Juhyo Station, you don't need to rush to the top of the mountain. You can walk around Kansatsudaira and Iroha Numa instead. There are observation seats on Guansongping, where you can look out over the autumn scenery of the distant mountains. The withered yellow grassland on the hillside in front of you, accompanied by the setting sun in the afternoon, also gives you another sense of autumn loneliness.

Ticket purchase guide: You can buy a package ticket at Yamagata Station, which includes round-trip bus tickets between Yamagata Station and Zao Onsen Bus Terminal and round-trip tickets for the ropeway cable car.
