Icicles of Ashigakubo

Icicles of Ashigakubo, located near Yokoze in Japan, is a collection of frozen ice-like formations cascading down a mountain. The sun coming through these icicles creates a beautiful and mesmerizing natural environment. During wintertime, a heavy snowfall makes the impression of a long white mountain curtain culminating in an impressive number of icicles. The formations are natural and the slow dripping of water slowly erodes the rock surface, forming beautiful works of art. It is best visited during the colder months when the icicles are at their most impressive, though the bleak winter landscape is worth seeing any time of year.
