Miyagi Zao Tour of Juhyo, Ice Monster
©AFLO
Zao is a sightseeing spot that can be toured with a return day trip from Sendai. In winter, it is famous for skiing and Juhyo Tour. When the roads are opened around the end of April, the snow forms walls over 10m high close to the sides of the road leading to the mountain top. After the Juhyo tour, it's recommended to relax in the hot springs in Togatta Onsen before returning to Sendai.
