ILoveZao 8 Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 Maybe I am biased, but I think it is great mountain for skiing. I think another people make good point. You should try it! Link to post Share on other sites

kintaro 0 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Thanks for the pics! I really miss Zao. I used to spend 30 days a year there. I moved back to Hawaii and haven't seen real snow in quite a while. Link to post Share on other sites

stemik 14 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 How many white faces do you get up there? Is it still spot the whitey up there? How about oriental overseas tourists? Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I'll tell you when I get back (going later this month). But I heard still not many, but increasing. Lots of Asias flying into Sendai and going there (but less this year because of economic explosions). Fine photos, ILoveZao. Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites

How about oriental overseas tourists? Caucasians are about, but not in numbers. Less than 5% by a margin, I'd guess. It's a popular destination with Koreans because they can get from Seoul to Sendai in 2 hours, and it's only about 60km on the expressway to Zao. There are also some direct flights to China. Southern Asia is very poorly served. Anyone like to see some of my Zao photos? Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Brill photos, ILoveZao. Do you live there? Link to post Share on other sites
ILoveZao 8 Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 My home is at the base of the mountain but I have small place in winter in Zao and spending most of winter in Zao. The number of foreigner (Westerner) is increasing but still only small number in total actually. In recent years, many more from Korea and other Asian country into Sendai. It was increasing quite fast. This year but I think the numbers are down as the exchange rate etc influence situation. Link to post Share on other sites
