A central-slope camera linked by Zao Chuo Ropeway, showing lifts and mountain scenery. The official page lists broadcasting hours of 06:00–18:00 Japan time. The marker is an approximate central-slope reference, not a verified mounting point. This is a different view from Juhyo Kogen Station; the YouTube thumbnail may not be current.
Image update intervals and capture times depend on the operator. Check the official page for current broadcast status.
How to view this camera
What the camera shows
Zao central slopes and lifts
Viewing format
YouTube video
Select “Watch on YouTube” to open the operator’s video. Check the player’s live indicator and broadcast date before treating it as a current view.
When to choose this view
Choose the central-ropeway broadcast for Zao’s central slopes and lifts, distinct from Juhyo Kogen’s intermediate-station view.
What this view cannot tell you
A recording may remain outside broadcast hours. Visible lifts do not establish service or run access.
If the video has ended or will not play, check the operator’s channel or camera page for a new stream. A preview image alone does not confirm that a broadcast is live.
“Connection last checked” records a link check, not an image capture time or confirmation of a live broadcast.
The camera only covers its field of view. Check the relevant official notices for weather, transport and access restrictions. Source information
During an earthquake, severe rain, typhoon or other emergency, use this view only as a reference. Follow official weather, disaster and transport alerts, plus instructions on site, when deciding whether to evacuate or travel.
An officially linked camera at Busshoike Hut near Mount Gassan's ninth station. The original offers photographs of the hut surroundings and the snowfield direction. This seasonal service provides updating still images; weather or communications may delay updates, and darkness can obscure the terrain. Snow is not always present. The marker uses an approximate hut-area reference from Yamagata's official tourism map, not the summit or the eighth-station parking area.
Ginzanso provides an outdoor camera from its fourth floor. Select “銀山荘4階屋外” near the bottom of the official website. This is a different viewpoint from the Kosekiya camera in the historic onsen street, and opens in an older HTTP viewer.
Hijiori’s official tourism site recommends Kotobukiya’s live camera. Check the outdoor scenery, weather and snow around the Dozan River in the onsen village. The view is near the restaurant, not inside a bathing area.
See the area around Juhyo Kogen, an intermediate station on the Zao Ropeway, through the official camera. Zao's snow-covered trees, known as snow monsters, form in particular winter conditions; check the source image before planning a visit.
A City of Tsuruoka camera showing chidokan historic buildings and the town in periodically updated still images. The official page lists 04:00–20:30 operation and 15-minute updates, subject to delays or interruption. The marker is an approximate city-hall area reference, not a verified mounting point. Images are not reproduced here because the city prohibits unauthorized reproduction; use the official source link.
