[2025 Zao ] Travel Guide for Sumikawa Snow Park (Updated Jul)

I went on a snowmobile tour of the frost-covered trees at Miyagi Zao Ski Resort Sumikawa Snow Park❄️ After purchasing a ticket, first rent boots. When the time comes, board the snowmobile. It will take about 30 minutes to reach the summit. On the day, we couldn't go to the best spot for frost-covered trees due to the blizzard, but we stopped at a place called Kamakura along the way and took some time to take photos. I wanted to go to the best spot, but it's a natural phenomenon, so there's nothing we can do about it. I'll try again next time! 📍〒989-0916 Kuraishidake, Togatta Onsen, Zao-cho, Karita-gun, Miyagi Prefecture, National Forest #Miyagi #Zao #frost-covered trees #trip2022

In the middle of winter, the Zao area is popular for winter sports such as skiing and snowboarding at ski resorts, but in fact, snow trekking tours like this are also held. You can choose a course based on your physical strength and skill, so you can rest assured. You can see scenery that you rarely see. #Mountain climbing #Snow scenery #Zao #Miyagi Prefecture
