Nishiazuma Mountain and Tengen-dai Plateau

[Heavenly Paradise and Winter Miracle] Exquisite powder above the clouds and the famous mountain 'Tengendai Kogen & Nishi Azuma Mountain'

The 'Tengendai Kogen' sprawling in the hidden retreat of Yonezawa, and the towering 'Nishi Azuma Mountain' (one of Japan's 100 famous mountains) behind it. This is an overwhelming natural field of the four seasons that can be accessed by a ropeway to an altitude of over 1,300m, leading to a different world.

■ Trekking in the 'Heavenly Wetlands' where alpine plants bloom wildly

The charm of Nishi Azuma Mountain, the highest peak of the Azuma mountain range (2,035m), lies in the balance of easy access and untouched deep nature.

• Panorama above the clouds: There is a gentle route with a wooden path, where you can enjoy breathtaking views overlooking the Yonezawa basin from the wetland area filled with lovely alpine plants.
• Summer colors: A trekking course where you can encounter high-altitude plants like Chinguruma and Watasuge, perfect for nature lovers.

■ One of the best snow qualities in Honshu and the globally rare 'Snow Monsters'

In winter, top-class powder snow falls in Honshu, making it a sacred place where winter sports can be enjoyed until the May holidays.

• Ice art 'Juhyo': Near the summit during the severe winter, the globally rare 'Snow Monsters (Juhyo)' appear. The sight of conifers covered in snow and ice, growing to massive sizes, is breathtaking.
• Mystical snowfields: Walking among the giant snow monsters wearing snowshoes, you can fully experience the overwhelming power and mystery of nature in an extraordinary adventure.
