Zao Fox Village (Zao Kitsune Mura)
Zao Fox Village is a unique wildlife park where hundreds of foxes roam freely in a natural environment. Visitors can observe different species of foxes up close and learn about their behavior in a setting surrounded by forests and mountains. The village offers a rare and memorable experience, especially popular in winter when the snowy landscape enhances its charm.

Ginzan Onsen
Ginzan Onsen is a historic hot spring town famous for its traditional wooden ryokan lining a narrow river. The town is especially picturesque in winter, when snow-covered rooftops and softly glowing gas lamps create a nostalgic, fairytale-like atmosphere. Walking through Ginzan Onsen feels like stepping back into Japan’s Taisho era.

Mount Zao Ski Resort
Mount Zao is one of Japan’s most well-known winter destinations, offering ski slopes suitable for both beginners and experienced skiers. In winter, the area is also famous for its “snow monsters” (juhyo), natural ice formations created by harsh weather conditions. The resort provides an exciting mix of winter sports and stunning alpine scenery.

Zao Onsen
Zao Onsen is one of Japan’s oldest hot spring areas, known for its mineral-rich waters believed to have therapeutic benefits. After skiing or sightseeing, soaking in an onsen here is an ideal way to relax and warm up, completing the Yamagata experience with comfort and tradition.
