Stay by the Gondola and See Zao Snow Monsters at Night | Lucent Takamiya (Hotel), Zao Onsen

Lucent Takamiya is a ski-influenced hot spring hotel in an excellent location right in front of the gondola station at Zao Onsen Ski Resort. The slopes are only a short walk away, and the famous Zao Snow Monsters, known as juhyo tree ice, are close enough to enjoy during a winter stay. Zao is one of Japan's most distinctive ski and snowboard destinations. During the day, you can see the spectacular tree ice from the ropeway while skiing. At night, you can ride the ropeway up the mountain to see the illuminated Snow Monsters. After a day on the slopes, relax in the large public bath, open-air hot spring, or private bath, all using Zao's natural hot spring water. Dinner is a local kaiseki-style meal, followed by a buffet breakfast the next morning. Planning a ski trip to Japan?
