亮点

  • Surreal white 'snow monster' frost-covered trees
  • Evening ropeway runs and colored light-ups
  • Summit views over the juhyo plateau

由来与背景

Juhyo form when supercooled droplets and snow freeze onto Maries' fir trees in Zao's harsh winds — a rare phenomenon seen at only a few northern spots.

Good to know for visitors
