FAQ
The natural phenomenon of ice coatings on trees, often seen on mountains like Gozaisho in winter, is commonly called "Juhyou" in Japanese. This translates to "ice monsters" or "frost-covered trees," describing their unique, sculpted appearance created by specific weather conditions.
Juhyou form under very specific cold and windy conditions. Supercooled water droplets in fog or clouds are carried by strong winds and freeze upon contact with trees, building up layers of ice. This process continues, creating the distinctive, often artistic, shapes of the ice trees on Mount Gozaisho, particularly at higher elevations.

Beyond the illuminations, visitors can explore the enchanting Begonia Garden, a large greenhouse housing thousands of colorful flowers, and enjoy seasonal flower gardens. There are also various restaurants and shops on-site.
To fully experience Nabana no Sato's illuminations and the Begonia Garden, it is generally recommended to allocate at least 2.5 to 3 hours. This allows ample time to stroll through the various light displays, visit the Begonia Garden, enjoy a meal or a snack, and browse the souvenir shops without feeling rushed.
