The contrast between the expanse of the basin, blanketed in silvery white, and the mountain ranges in the distance makes it a popular "photogenic spot" for couples, girls' trips, and families. Ugo Town is also a region where "life with snow" remains deeply rooted, and the surrounding area is home to many roadside stations, hot springs, and local cuisine, making it an excellent choice for a trip to experience "Ugo Town in winter."
