What's to expect
The waters of Zao Okama shift with the seasons and weather, showing shades of green, blue, and emerald—hence its nickname, the “Five-Color Pond.”
Take the ropeway straight up into the mountains and effortlessly enjoy panoramic views of the magnificent Zao Mountain Range.
From the summit, enjoy sweeping views of mountain ranges and plateau scenery—a popular mountain experience.
Stroll along the Ginzan Onsen streets and soak in the classic Taisho-era romantic, retro atmosphere of Japan.
Spring–summer limited: step into the orchard and hand-pick plump, rosy, in-season white peaches.
