Experience the cold in Japan this February

Experience the cold in Japan this February For this trip, we will experience the snow in Yamagata city. If traveling from Thailand, the travel route will start from • Don Mueang - Narita Airport • Take the Shinkansen train from Tokyo to Yamagata for 2:45 hours. • Transfer to a bus at Yamaga Station, platform 1, to Zao Onsen city, which takes 30 minutes. Prepare your winter clothes because Zao Onsen has very thick and soft snow. Tourists come to see the snow monsters, which are very rare, as there are only about 3-4 places in the world where this Snow Monster phenomenon occurs. You will need to take the Zao Ropeway, located in the middle of Zao Onsen city. You can walk from the bus station to the ropeway. The weather is very unpredictable, so if you are lucky and the sky is clear, you will see the monsters clearly. When you reach the top of the mountain, you can walk up to take pictures with the snow monsters. You can go anywhere on the mountain for beautiful views. Caution: There are many tourists, and it will take 2-3 hours to wait for the ropeway. The queue is very long. It is highly recommended to buy tickets online in advance because if there are many people, they may stop selling tickets. Additionally, buy an express pass to enter the special express lane. If you are well-prepared, you can get on quickly. For those who intend to ski, this city has many routes to play, including green, red, and black routes. The views along the routes are incredibly beautiful, and you can ski through the snow monsters. Summary: If you have never been to this part of Japan, it is highly recommended to visit at least once. There are many tourist attractions, and this city is famous for its Onsen hot springs. You can soak in natural hot springs.
