Updated: Mount Zao Onsen Yamagata Snowboarding Guide (How To Get There, Snow Monsters)
The snowboarding in Mount Zao Onsen, Yamagata, Japan, is like nothing we’ve ever seen before. In this updated guide, Will will go over lodging, how to get there, lift tickets, restaurant recommendations, conditions, and which lifts to take to see the snow monsters. If you’re going to be in Japan during winter, snowboarding here would be a great addition to any itinerary.
A lot of people go snowboarding in Nagano or Niseko (and we have guides on those as well), but this is a place we keep coming back to. This updated guide should tell you everything you need to know, but check out the one we made last year as well for even more information!
