Japan> Zao Ice Tree in Yamagata, Skiing Guide

📍> The Zao Range (ざおうれんぽう) is majestic, spanning Yamagata and Miyagi counties, with the main peak Kumano-dake (elevation 1,841 meters) located on the Yamagata side. Beautiful scenery can be seen all year round, especially the autumn red leaves on the mountain top and the 'Zao Ice Tree' of Zao Mountain in northeastern Yamagata, which is one of the absolute winter views in Japan. . 💠During the entire ski season, the 'Ice Tree Group' appearing on the upper part of the ski resort is very spectacular. In addition to being able to ski on the 'Ice Tree Primitive Snow Road' during the day and admire the ice trees on both sides of the ski trail, there is also an ice tree light show at night. Under the colorful lights, the ice trees look spectacular and mysterious. With 26 snow trails and 41 ropeways, no matter how big the scale is, it's impossible to ski all in one day, so it's recommended to stay at least one night. . 💠How to get there: Snow friends, you can choose Air China's direct flight to Sendai, with one flight each on Wednesday and Sunday, with a stopover in Shanghai. The direct flight on Wednesday and Sunday, the departure time from Beijing is 7:20, and the departure time after stopping in Shanghai is 10:40. Arrive at Sendai Airport at 14:25 Japanese time. . The general route is: take the 'Sendai Airport Line' from Sendai Airport, and arrive at 'Sendai Station' 25 minutes later; change to the 'JR Senzan Line' at 'Sendai Station', and arrive at 'Yamagata Station' about 1 hour and 15 minutes later. . 💠From Sendai Airport to Yamagata Station, there is another mode of transportation, called the express bus, with a one-way fare of 1,500 yen, half price for children under 12, and it takes 80 minutes to reach Yamagata Station. However, if you take a plane from Beijing with a stopover in Shanghai, you won't be able to catch the departure time of the express bus. Unless some snow friends fly to Sendai Airport from an airport in Japan, see if the arrival time can catch up with one of the four express buses a day. Snow friends, please check the arrival time on the day and decide whether to choose the express bus. . 💠Take the Shinkansen from Tokyo After snow friends land at Tokyo Haneda or Narita Airport, take a car to 'Tokyo Station' and take the Tohoku Shinkansen, a one-stop service to 'Yamagata Station', and then take a bus from 'Yamagata Station' to the ski resort. The one-way fare for the Shinkansen from Tokyo Station to Yamagata Station: 11,680 yen (about 680 RMB) The Shinkansen journey time: 2 hours 41 minutes When you arrive at 'Yamagata Station', refer to the above 'Yamagata Station → Zao Onsen' bus timetable and take the bus to go. .

Its not easy to go to Tibet once, especially when you are still on duty and cant take time off. From late night in Tokyo, you will arrive at the Zao in the morning, and you will wake up to another world outside the window. It is not easy to go to the Tibetan king. It is not easy to see the hoarfrost. Because of the terrain, the chances of seeing the blue sky and white clouds in Zaowang Town are very small. The unique weather and geographical environment creates spectacular hoarfrost. hoarfrost means that the trees are covered in snow and ice, forming a spectacular "snow monster" view. Many of them look very funny like little monsters. If you don't ski, there is also a cable car that is designed for tourists to enjoy the hoarfrost. If you are a skier, you can take the cable car to the top of the mountain and slide down to see the scenery. It is a pity that our luck is still slightly poor on the day. The night after the blizzard is still cloudy on the second day. The sun is only exposed for a while. I hope that I will have the opportunity to see the blue sky and white clouds of the Zao.

Because of the volcanic activity, there are many hot springs in the mountains of the Tibetan King. The oldest one is the Xianshang Hot Spring, which was first discovered in 1428 and has been in existence for hundreds of years. It is said that it was famous for the bathing of the first ancestor of the Sendai ancestral yida dynasty and its first film, Cang Jinggang. . Although the first hot spring township is very small, there are only three or four hot spring hotels, but these hot spring hotels are very powerful. The Tang Master I stayed in was the old shop hot spring hotel that opened the door from the time when the hot spring soup was opened. The right side is the old building of Tangzhu One hot spring hotel for more than 600 years, which has been included in the Japanese tangible cultural property. . The charm of the "Tang Master" hot spring hotel is that any item you see may be hundreds of years old or worthy of art. The 600-year-old building itself is a place full of stories, and it is worthwhile for every visitor to explore its history. The ancient aisle seems to take us through the time hundreds of years ago. The hotels sleek rooms are quaint and elegant, with soft wood tones to create a sense of warmth and a touch of style. The most famous of the "one of the soup masters" is Tang Zhiquan, which is famous for its therapeutic effect. In addition to the "medicine soup", it is famous for its open-air hot springs in the forest view. You can enjoy the view of the surrounding forest while enjoying the hot springs.
