Located in Yamagata Prefecture in Tohoku Japan, Zao is a skiing mecca with a magnificent landscape of trees and ice. During the visit, in January, a strong cold wind caused the conifers on the mountain to freeze, and the ice gradually formed. At this time, the visibility at the top of Zao Mountain is very low, and the tree ice can only be faintly visible, because the tree ice is shaped like a monster, so the tree ice is also called a snow monster. Photographing the magnificent landscape of the tree ice on the Tree Ice Plateau is not a wasted trip.
