Zao and Yamagata
Zao, located on the Yamagata-Miyagi prefectural border, is a mountain park centered in the Zao Mountain Range. You can enjoy the beauty of nature there, when you visit locations such as the mysterious Okama crater lake, also known as Goshiki-numa (five-color marsh). It is known for its varying water colors which can change several times a day. Also well known is the Zao Shizen-shokubutsu-en (botanical garden), a treasure house of alpine plants. Aboard the ropeway car, you can take a bird's eye view of the whole Yamagata Basin, or enjoy the night view and the starry sky from a lodge or inn.If you prefer outdoor sports, enjoy camping and trekking among the verdant greens of spring or the scarlet leaves of autumn, take a horse-riding lesson at the International Horse Riding Club at the foot of the mountain, or go paragliding at Bo-daira. In winter, Zao turns into a mecca for winter sports such as skiing and snowboarding. Descending the slopes through clusters of ice-covered coniferous trees is truly exhilarating!
