“frost-covered Trees” – Art created by nature
In winter, you can see beautiful natural art called “frost-covered trees” on Mt. Gozaisho. The frost-covered trees are created when three factors – temperature, humidity, and wind – are all in harmony. The mechanism behind the creation of the trees is that the cold temperature causes water vapor in the air to be blown away by the wind, which then crystallizes on the trees!
Observation period: January to February, near the top of Mt. Gozaisho

Spring, when new life sprouts, will soon be upon Mt. Gozaisho.
