Yamadera & Zao Snow Monsters - YAMAGATA prefecture

[@KellieLStimson]

Another place that has been on my list for some time if I can ever visit Japan again. The snow is beautiful. Ive seen pictures in the other seasons and Autumn looks pretty spectacular! So looking forward to kendama. I teach my primary students a unit about Japanese games - we play Jankenpon, darumaotoshi, kendama, koma etc and learn language surrounding games. Lots of fun!

Autumn looks insane! I wonder if I can go back 😂 That sounds fun!! There’s an urban legend involving darumaotoshi so I always think of that 😆

[@Andrew.Ehrhardt]

This is honestly one of my favorite videos of yours. You really make it fun and are letting your personality show more. Well done bud

[@franklinthewoman]

Why thank you! 😁 it’s been fun to make these haha

Yay part 2, Yamadera is so stunning with snow

[@franklinthewoman]

I’d love to see it in autumn too!

I guess right after a snow fall is not the best time to visit.😃 The snowy backdrop is very picturesque though. I am planning to visit it in fall 2023 when the leaves are turning. Wow, that blizzard at the top of the mountain was quite something.

Fall will be amazing!! I want to go back 😆

OMG what an adventure. Sliding down stairs does not look fun. LOL

I think her rear end was pretty numb before she attempted that technique.

[@franklinthewoman]

I was expecting a bruised bum but luckily it was fine! The muscle pain hit full force two days later though 😂

[@franklinthewoman]

Maybe that helped 😂😂

[@moeyday]

this was so so gorgeous~ the sliding part is amazing lol there are sleds literally shaped as butts which this reminded me of hahaha

[@franklinthewoman]

Wow I’d totally buy a butt-shaped sled haha

Awesome video! One question - Any tips on luggage while travelling with JR pass? I know you can store it at the hotel but sometimes it is not on the way…
