A masterpiece scenery that is unparallelled in the world

#springwander Tree ice is something that can be made by repeatedly freezing and snowing on the leaves and branches of the Aomori Todo matsu (scientific name: Ooshirabiso) that live nearby. It is a precious scenery that can only be seen in some mountainous areas of the Ou Mountains because it is formed only when special conditions such as temperature, wind direction, and snowfall are met. Although it is beautiful, it is called "snow monster" because of its appearance that looks like a monster.
