- Itinerary Introduction -

• Zao Juhyo

Zao's frost-covered trees are a renowned natural wonder in the Zao Mountains
of Yamagata Prefecture. During winter, strong cold winds blanket the trees in
thick layers of snow and ice, creating a spectacular display known as "juhyo."
January to March is the best time to see the juhyo. Visitors can take a cable
car to the summit to admire these massive icy trees up close and enjoy skiing
at the Zao Ski Resort. The nighttime illumination of the juhyo adds to the
magical atmosphere, attracting numerous photographers and tourists.

*Depending on the departure date and plan, there are two types of tours: the Zao Juhyo Ropeway on the Yamagata side and the Zao Juhyo Ropeway on the Miyagi side. Please note this when making reservations.

• Things to note when viewing frost-covered trees:

  
  

• The shape and appearance of the juhyo vary depending on the weather, and can be seen from mid-December to March each year.

  
  
• For the safety of our customers and to protect the frost trees, please view them in designated areas. (Do not cross the safety ropes.)
• The mountains are extremely cold in winter, so be sure to take precautions against the cold and wear snow-resistant shoes to prevent injuries.
• The cable car may be suspended in the event of rain, dense fog, thunderstorms, or strong winds. Please note that the mountaintop observatory may also be closed.
• If the cable car stops running, ticket refunds will be made.

- Attractions Introduction -

• Ouchijuku

Ouchi-juku, located in Minamiaizu, Fukushima Prefecture, flourished during the
Edo Period as a post town on a key route connecting Aizu-Wakamatsu City and
Nikko-Nama City. Today, the town retains its Edo-era charm, with thatched-roof
houses lining the road. Residents continue to use the area as both shops and
residences to preserve this scenic beauty. Designated as an Important National
Preservation Area for Groups of Traditional Buildings in 1977, the town's
residents work together to maintain the architectural landscape and the
traditional thatching techniques. The preservation of the traditional thatched
roofs over approximately 400 years is a result of the villagers' voluntary
efforts. Led by skilled craftsmen, villagers collaborate to re-roof the roofs.
Visitors to Ouchi-juku can enjoy a glimpse into the pristine Japanese
landscape, spanning over 400 years.

• Tadami Line

The JR Tadami Line connects Koide Station in Uonuma City, Niigata Prefecture,
with Aizuwakamatsu Station in Aizuwakamatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture,
covering a total length of approximately 135 kilometers. This route, nestled
amidst breathtaking scenery, passes through the Furusato of Uonuma's
specialty, Koshihikari rice, creating a breathtaking landscape. The vibrant
autumn foliage blends with the gorge, while the snowscape, reminiscent of an
ink painting, is a must-see. Photographers from around the world flock to
capture the breathtaking scenery of the gorge and the railway. In winter, the
Tadami Line, traversing the breathtaking snowscape, is a truly breathtaking
sight.

Ginzan Onsen, located in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan, is a historic hot spring
town renowned for its well-preserved Taisho-era architecture and tranquil
surroundings. Originally a silver mining village, the area gradually

industry. Ginzan Onsen is known for its traditional Japanese-style inns lining
