Blizzard arrives at Zao, transforming it into a fairy tale world for a day of crazy photo-taking

Zao Onsen has a history of 1,900 years. Strolling here, you can smell the strong sulfuric mineral scent. The town's traditional inns and souvenir shops, combined with the charming snowy scenery, are truly unforgettable. Public transportation: You can take the Tohoku Shinkansen to Yamagata, and then take a bus from Yamagata Station. If you are using public transportation, it is recommended to stay at Yamagata Station, visit Zao for one day, and Ginzan Onsen for another day. At Zao, you can ski, take a cable car to see the ice trees, and enjoy day-use hot springs on the onsen street. ​
