One of Japan's most beautiful sights 🇯🇵 Zao Ice Trees

Zao Tree Ice is located in Yamagata Prefecture, northeastern Japan. This stunning sight is limited to each winter! Tree ice is the ice that attaches to the surface of trees when fog and clouds cooled to below freezing point blow through them. But the weather in winter is more unstable. Those who can go up the mountain in good weather are lucky! This time I also met the blue sky, I was really blessed by God 🫶🏻 📆Viewing Period: Roughly from December to March If you want to visit the tree ice, it is recommended to visit between late January and late February when you can see the beautiful and huge tree ice 🚠Transportation: Arrive from Yamagata Station by bus to Zao Onsen in 40 minutes. "Tree Ice Viewing Pass" is available at the "Yamagata Station-mae Bus Service Office Sales Window" (including a round-trip ticket from "Yamagata Station-mae" Station to "Zao Onsen" Station + a discount package for round-trip tickets from Zao Cable Car "Yan Foothill" Station to "Jizo Summit" Station.) ⛷️ How to play: ⭐️ Take the cable car up the mountain: 360 degrees to see the trees, ice and snow strange ⭐️ "Dilian Peak Station" Observation Deck: Open view, many people take pictures here ⭐️ Tree ice lighting, night parade (not every day, please pay attention to the official website schedule) ⭐️ Ski viewing ‼ ️Precautions ❕In addition to tree ice, Yamagata Zao can also enjoy the Zao hot springs and skiing at the foot of the mountain, and the weather is unstable, it is recommended to stay at least 2 nights. ❕ It’s really super cold in the plateau area! It's minus 10 degrees Celsius. Keep warm, otherwise you'll be too cold to play. It's really too cold. You can go to the restaurant to keep warm first. The view inside is beautiful! #travel #travel #I miss #japan attractions #japan ##one of the must-see attractions in life
