If you love Nosawa Onsen but hate the crowds, try something a little further away. Zao Onsen in the Yamagata Prefecture has 12m snow seasons, lovely powder, loads of lifts and fun local foods to try plus the very amazing and unique ‘snow monsters’. (Eerie snow and wind blasted trees near the peak of the mountain). If you enjoy first tracks and make early starts avoiding the Zao ropeway that takes tourists up to the monsters, you’ll have a fabulous time. And then there is the private and public town onsens and apres skiing. Sensational.

The landscape is spectacular and worth to queue. The wind is very strong and blew with snow like storm, so sometime we could hardly see the things on top, then stop at the middle station and enjoy the view there. Will come back for skiing, must be wonderful experience.
