The stunning and moving Ice Monsters of Mount Zao:: Tohoku Region, Japan
Tohoku, Mount Zao Ice Monsters, travel, attractions, popular itineraries, must-visit
Severe cold winds from Siberia carry moisture that rises upon hitting the cliffs of the Mount Zao plateau in Japan’s Tohoku region, turning into supercooled droplets. These droplets freeze instantly on the needles of evergreen conifers, forming ice crystals. After countless cycles of refreezing and snow accumulation, they eventually become massive columnar snow formations — a natural wonder that can only be seen in the snowy landscapes of Japan’s Tohoku region during winter. These are the legendary Mount Zao Ice Monsters.
