The Zao Chuo Ropeway's central-slope camera shows the lifts and surrounding mountains. For the area around Juhyo Kogen Station and its winter snow monsters, open that station's camera instead. The official page lists broadcast hours of 06:00–18:00 Japan time; the YouTube thumbnail may be older. The map pin marks the slope area, not a confirmed camera mount.
