Introduction

Although named as the Snow Mountain, it only snows from November to April or May of the following year, and the rest of the time it is covered in bare rock and blooming rhododendrons. The Shika Snow Mountain Scenic Area has two convenient cable cars that can easily take you to the top of the mountain. The scenery along the cable car route is breathtaking. Each season brings its own beauty to the Snow Mountain, with green grass in spring, blooming flowers in summer, colorful foliage in autumn, and magnificent snow scenery in winter.
