Show Monster Yamagata – Natural wonders in the snow

📍Address: Yamagata, Japan Snow monsters, or "Juhyo", on Mt. Zao in Yamagata Prefecture are one of the rarest and most spectacular natural phenomena in Japan. When winter comes, the pine trees on the mountain are covered in snow and ice from the cold wind, forming strange shapes that resemble snow monsters. Tourists can take the Zao Ropeway to see the view from the top, and experience the magnificent atmosphere at night when the lights are on. This is another special experience that should not be missed in winter! #yamagata #traveljapanbyyourself #getdiscountswithoutluck
