What to expect
Zao Icefall Snow Trekking | January to March only
Zao, in Yamagata Prefecture in northern Japan, is one of the snowiest regions on Earth. Every winter, a spectacular 30-meter (100-foot) ice wall forms as an entire waterfall freezes solid, creating a breathtaking icefall
Along the way, cross snowy landscapes and walk among Zao's famous "Snow Monsters" — enormous trees covered in thick layers of snow
This experience combines three unique experiences: a stunning icefall, iconic Snow Monsters, and Zao's traditional mountain-worship culture. It's one of YAMAGATA EXPERIENCE's most popular experiences
Just 2.5 hours from Tokyo by Yamagata Shinkansen, Zao offers a winter wonderland few travelers ever experience
