The hottest months are usually August and July with an average temp of 71°F, while the coldest months are February and January with an average of 37°F. The rainiest months in Zao are September, August, July, and October, with each month seeing an average of 8 inches of rainfall.
What is there to see and do in Zao?
You don't need to spend big to find places to visit in Zao. You can budget for the top local attractions on your list, and then plan some activities that cost very little. Take in the local culture at Miyagi Zao Kokeshi Doll Hall and Yajiro Kokeshi Village, or visit other spots like Shiraishi Doll Warehouse.
How can I get to Zao and get around on a budget?
Scoping out the transportation options in Zao is a smart way to keep your trip affordable. The closest airport is Sendai Airport (SDJ), situated 18.5 mi (29.8 km) away. However, if that doesn't suit your budget, you can arrange flights in and out of Yamagata Airport (GAJ), which is 24.3 mi (39.1 km) away. Zao might not have very many public transportation choices so a rental car could be an economical alternative to see more of the area.
