Weather can be a real problem on Zao and can be radicly different on the top. When I arrived at the bottom it was sunny. After taking the ropeway up (appromitly 20 mintues) it was windy, overcast and beginning to rain. When I returned to the bottom it was sunny again. The weather also varied on different sections of the summit as well. Might want to bring your rain gear with you.

Japan is home to many captivating lakes and Okama crater lake on top of Zao-san is no exception. Japan is also home to many lifeless, chard and lackluster mountains and Zao-san is no exception.
