A ski resort that looks like it's not on Earth

It is the Zao Onsen Ski Resort in Yamagata, Japan, famous for its frost trees. The photo was taken in early March 2022. There was a lot of snow and the weather was not cold. On a sunny day, the blue and white are distinct It is a real visual enjoyment to slide down the tree ice sightseeing route from the top of the mountain But there wasn't much snow on New Year's Day this year We couldn't see such majestic frost trees, and the weather was not good, so it was still a matter of luck to take good photos. By the way, I would like to recommend food and accommodation: p10-11 Takamiya Hotel Jurin The hotel is right next to the cable car, so skiing in and skiing out is very convenient. The hotel also has its own rentals There are indoor and outdoor hot springs. Although they are not big, you can enjoy the snow scenery. p12-13 The Great Chiyan of Kurao The beef tendon curry rice at the restaurant next to the Kaminodai cable car station is especially delicious It's really satisfying to eat a hot curry after skiing in winter
