Trekking on Mount Zao
Alena EckelmannZao Mountain - Trekking across a volcanic landscape in summer and skiing in winter, plus winding down in hotspring waters.
Mount Zao is a 1,841-meter-high volcano between Yamagata and Miyagi prefectures in the northern Tohoku region. It is one of Tohoku's most famous attractions, offering spectacular views and unique attractions for all seasons of the year.
The most famous sights of the mountain include the extraordinary blue colored Okama crater and the mystical "" snow monsters "" - trees that form in mid-winter. These are located around the top of the Zao ski area and are usually most spectacular around mid-February. The multiple layers of snow and ice give the trees a monstrous shape. Access is made possible by a cable car and a gondola for skiers and non-skiers. In the evening the snow monsters around the summit are illuminated.
The Okama is a crater lake that measures 1km in circumference with a 27m depth. It is known locally as 'Goshiki-numa' (five-colour lake) for its changing surface colours.

Within the Mt. Zao scenic area is Zao Onsen (蔵王温泉), a popular hot spring and ski resort. Zao Onsen is especially popular during winter, where the famous "snow monsters" form on the wintery slopes of Mount Zao. Due to the Tohoku region's harsh winters and heavy snowfall, the trees atop Mt. Zao get covered with snow and resemble monstrous-looking frozen sculptures. Many make the trip to Zao Onsen especially to see the snow monsters, which is a unique event that only occurs during February when snowfall is abundant. Other than the snow monsters, Zao Onsen resort offers several different ski slopes of varying difficulties. Visitors can also utilize the Zao Ropeway to get around, as well as enjoy the mountainside views from above. If you're visiting during winter, make sure not to miss the snow monster illuminations at night — as part of the annual Zao Snow Festival. Festivalgoers enjoy firework displays, illuminations, professional ski and snowboard shows, and many more fun activities.
