The snow quality at Zao Liza World is among the best in Yamagata Prefecture, offering superb powder snow and well-groomed trails. Enjoy a variety of winter activities, including skiing, snowboarding, and cross-country skiing. There are also a variety of lift pass options available, including a Family Plan and an All-Inclusive Ski & Snowboard Plan, which is ideal for those who don't have their own gear.

The mountain, standing 1,446 meters above sea level, features stunning frost-covered trees in winter.
