[January to March] Snow trekking to the frozen waterfall called Hyobaku in Zao, Yamagata. Every winter, the entire huge waterfall freezes, creating a frozen waterfall about 30 meters high and several tens of meters wide. Its power cannot be conveyed in a photo. This area, which has long attracted ice climbing enthusiasts, is called the Ice Garden, and is a world of ice like in a movie. Step into the frozen world of Senninzawa Ice Garden in search of unknown spectacular views. On the way there, head downhill from the end of the lift at Zao Liza World Ski Resort. The end of the second lift is a field of frost-covered trees lined with large ice monsters. You can also enjoy viewing the frost-covered trees.

以前からスノーボードやスキーの雪遊びはしていたけれど、スノーシューは初めてでした。お天気がよかったので絶景を眺めようと斑尾山の山頂から少し先まで歩いた大明神岳から野尻湖を見下ろすコースごご案内いただきました。道中いろいろなお話をしてくれるのですが、どれも知らないことばかりで知識の広さに驚かされました。 スノーシューって大変だと思っていたけれど、普段は行けない場所を歩けたり、葉っぱが落ちて見通しのよくなった山から広い空が見えたり、スノーシューでないと味わえない世界があることを知り、毎冬のアクティビティに加わることになりそうです。

This is a snow trekking trip to see a large icefall with a drop of 50m or more. In the mountainous areas of southern Nara Prefecture, icefalls form here and there during the winter, but this one is the largest. There are places where it is difficult to walk on the snowy mountain trails, so we wear light crampons and walk slowly with the guide. The walking time is about 1 hour uphill and 40 minutes downhill, walking slowly while taking pictures.
