– About the Attraction | Zao Juhyo (Hydrome) is a must-see in Tohoku's winter –

▲ Zao Juhyo

Yamagata Prefecture in Japan boasts a truly spectacular and unique snow-viewing wonder: the Zao Juhyo! Located on the border of Yamagata and Miyagi prefectures, Zao is a mountain park centered around the Zao Mountain Range. It's accessible year-round and popular for hiking, foliage viewing, and snowfall viewing.

The most unique of these is the Zao Juhyo (Hydrome) formations that appear every winter. Juhyo (Hydrome) forms when water-laden air cools, condensing into frost on the mountaintops. This frost, known as the "Ice Monster," forms the surface, enveloping the trees. During the day, take in the breathtaking scenery from the Zao Ropeway, reminiscent of a military parade. At night, witness the vibrant illuminations of the Zao trees during the winter frost season. It's not only breathtaking, but also a popular Instagram spot!

▲ Fox Village
A half-day trip to the Fox Village in Miyagi offers a relaxing and relaxing experience, complete with exclusive opportunities like feeding and holding foxes! The Fox Village has been a popular attraction in Miyagi for years! Raised in nature, the village features approximately 100 wild foxes, including familiar Hokkaido foxes and rare species. Not only can you observe the foxes up close, but you can also enjoy exclusive experiences like feeding and holding them! Watching these adorable little foxes is a true delight in the cold winter. Because they are raised in nature, the foxes retain their wild nature, so visitors must adhere to all park regulations to avoid harming themselves and the foxes.
