One of the key attractions of the Ashikaga area is the Ashikaga Flower Park, which is one of the best spots in the entire Kanto region to view spectacular illuminated displays. The Minakami area attracts visitors due to its many activities and spas. Both are popular destinations that delight young and old. Famed for its ski resorts, the Zao area overwhelms visitors with its enchanting beauty in winter when it is buried in snow and studded with the magical forms of trees turned into "ice monsters" by snow and ice.
