A visit to Zao Resort


This time, I would like to introduce my travel experience to Zao Hotsprings and Ski Resort, situated in south Yamagata Prefecture. We visited Zao in March, 2008 for refreshment and to release the stress and fatigue. As for me, Onsen (Hot spring) is really good to release the stress. Moreover, there are "snow monsters" (Juhyoo) in Zao which are unique spectacle in the world. I would like to share the scenes of Zao and hope all of you will enjoy.

Zao is famous for the "snow monsters" which are made by a seasonal wind hits against trees, shaping the snow on trees in several forms of animals. Moreover, it is also one of the famous ski resorts and hot springs in Japan. Obviously, the weather at that time is really cold and seems everything is freezing. Here, the ice hanging from the window of hotel can be seen.

This is the unforgettable sunset scene from the mountain's summit of the ski resort. On the way to there, we can see the amazing snow monsters. Yoo...

Come on, to ride the tram to the mountain's summit and view the Juhyoo (snow monsters), let's get on cable cars and enjoy together.
