Starry nights above Mt Zao. Nestled between Yamagata and Miyagi Prefectures, Mt Zao is known as a skiers’ paradise but over the summer months hikers flock to this mountainous region for an adventure of a different kind. At the summit of Mt Zao lies Okama Crater, a breathtaking caldera lake. Trek to Kattadake Peak lookout for panoramic views and to enjoy the lake’s changing hues. 🥾🏔️
📍You can reach Mt Zao by rental car or public transport (train and bus) from both Yamagata and Miyagi Prefectures.
