[Miyagi x Winter Travel] Snow is like a living thing! Natural artwork: Ice Monsters

📍 Miyagi Zao Ice Tree Tour Togatta Onsen, Zao-cho, Karita-gun, Miyagi Prefecture Kuraishi-dake National Forest Ski Slope House 🅿️ Yes ✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲ ▶️ Zao's world-famous "Ice Trees" They are also called ice monsters because the snow on the trees looks like living things. A majestic work of art of nature created by the unique weather conditions of the Zao mountain range😍 ▶️ I wanted to see it with my own eyes, so I joined a snowmobile tour However, unfortunately, there was a heavy snowstorm that day. Even on a day like this, the tour went ahead. ▶️We got off at a few places along the way to take photos, but we couldn't do it because of the snowstorm. We took about 10 minutes to take photos at a place where we could get off. We could only see it up close, but it was nice to see the impressive frost-covered trees. ▶️I'd like to go see them again on a nice day. ●The frost-covered trees are... ①A place where Aomori Todomatsu (Japanese larches) grow naturally ②A place where snow falls moderately ③It must be on the western slope of a mountain ④A winter-type atmospheric pressure arrangement with strong western winds When these four conditions are met, the world's rare natural beauty, "frost-covered trees," is born. #Miyagi #Zao #frost-covered trees #frost-covered trees at Zao #Ice Monster #0 yen trip January 2025
