2025 Katta District Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

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

To witness the mountains and rivers at sunset, to live a life without regrets. The mountains and rivers are tranquil and vast, free of greed, anger, ignorance, and attachment, yet we are all in a hurry, still on our way. To come to this world once, one must strive to see more of the scenery. To set off is always an act of pursuing one's own value. Nothing special, but a group of special people. I begin a beautiful encounter, collecting photos is to collect the world. At the end of the worldly sail, there will be tenderness and moonlight. In every story, there is a beautiful journey. To guard a lake, to still a side of illusion, to witness a lifetime of beauty.

The most famous attraction of Zao in northeastern Japan is taking a cable car to the top of the mountain to see the frozen trees, which are called Juhyo. To see Juhyo, you have to take a cable car up the mountain. From "Zao Route", you have to take two cable cars: "Zao Foot Station" → "Juhyo Plateau Station" → "Zao Summit Station" Whether you can see the frost trees also depends on the weather conditions. When we took the cable car to the top of the mountain, it was a snowstorm and visibility was very poor. It was all white and super cold! The formation of tree frost is mainly due to colder weather and wind, so if the snow conditions are poor in a warm winter, the tree frost will not be so spectacular and obvious. Another indicator is the landmark Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva statue on the top of the mountain. By looking at the area covered by heavy snow, you can know the amount of snow that year. There is a mountaintop restaurant where you can have a meal and take a break. Once you’ve warmed up, you can continue playing in the snow outdoors. However, the wind is so strong and cold that you really can’t stay there for too long!
