Какво да правите в Ginzan Onsen

I'm not sure if it was an issue with Klook, but the itinerary visited Ginzan Onsen first and Naruko Gorge last, which is the reverse of what was written on Klook. The three attractions are quite far apart, so the drive is long, which we knew when booking. However, it is very suitable for first-time visitors to the Tohoku region, completing three sights in one day, and the stay at each attraction is quite sufficient. We stayed at Ginzan Onsen for 75 minutes, which differs from the 1.5 hours stated by Klook, but if you only do a footbath instead of a day-trip hot spring, the time is enough. As for the boat cruise, the bento box was quite good; if you can choose your seat, try to pick the right side of the vessel (with the engine at the stern). Naruko Gorge has beautiful scenery. The tour guide (Yang Liu) was responsible, providing sightseeing routes and information for each spot. When we arrived early for the boat ride, she negotiated with the boat operator for us to take an earlier departure. Additionally, today's tour participants were all very punctual, so the entire trip went very smoothly.

Удобен хотелски транспорт в рамките на 2 км от гара Сендай JR. Няма много беседи, просто споделен комфортен бус с 9 места. Обърнете внимание, че в имейла за програмата от предната вечер ще бъде посочен часът на пристигане на мястото за посрещане. Препоръчително е да слезете по-рано и да изчакате. Не са включени следните разходи: Входна такса за селото на лисиците (ученици от прогимназията и нагоре = 1500 йени / под тази възраст = безплатно) Разходи за обяд в Shiraishi Uumen - Koan Пристигнахме и чакахме за опашка още преди отварянето на ресторанта, като общият брой хора от двата буса беше около 15. След отварянето настаняването и поръчката отнеха 17 минути, а до събирането оставаха само 15 минути след сервирането на храната. Чакахме дълго за хранене и трябваше да ядем много бързо... въпреки че бусът ще изчака, е доста изнервящо.

Although we didn't visit during the winter, it was still very beautiful. The overall environment is peaceful with quite a few tourists. For visitors who plan to soak in the hot springs, it is recommended to bring your own towel to dry your feet. Sitting by the river to enjoy the scenery and relax is a wonderful experience.

our driver, Wei, is very enthusiastic and friendly. overall, this day trip is of low value, the fox village was small and boring. the noodle place was closed. it was crowded on the ginzan onsen shuttle bus and the place was small. the driving roads was not smooth and most of the time were spent on driving.

The 2-day trip to Ginzan Onsen was an absolute 10/10! I strongly recommend staying overnight; the night view is truly breathtaking, making you feel like you've stepped right into the fairytale world of Spirited Away. The pace of the itinerary was very comfortable, with no rushed sightseeing. Staying at a ryokan, we enjoyed authentic Japanese meals for breakfast and dinner, and the hot spring water was of excellent quality—soaking in it left our whole bodies wonderfully warm. Strolling through the historic hot spring street during the day, watching the antique lamps light up at dusk, and experiencing the quiet, crowd-free town in the early morning made for amazing photos. The entire arrangement was smooth, worry-free, and effortless. It was an unforgettable trip, and I'd love to visit again next time!

The weather was poor all the way from Sendai, but upon reaching Mt. Zao, the area was wide open and a strong gust of wind blew the clouds away, revealing the "Zao Okama" crater lake! I was fortunate to witness this ever-changing crater lake with my own eyes. Driving further to the Zao Ropeway, although many autumn leaves had already fallen, the desolate yet magnificent scenery was still unforgettable! Lunch featured regional snacks from Yamagata Prefecture, and right across the restaurant was a large supermarket where we could quickly buy seasonal fruits—how wonderful! Arriving at Ginza Onsen required transferring to a shuttle bus, which certainly squeezed our staying time. As it was getting dark, some of the inns had already lit up their warm lights, making for quite lovely photographs! The tour guide, Ms. Yangliu, was always thoughtful in reminding everyone of the meeting times, explaining the features of the attractions in detail, and even reminding us where we could grab a bite before returning to Sendai. Her service attitude was extremely warm and professional!

Our tour guide also served as the driver and was very responsible, ensuring everything was well-arranged. The tickets he purchased were for the first row, which was an excellent spot and great value for money. The hotel arranged in the middle of the trip was an old Japanese inn, providing a wonderful experience. The other two attractions were also fantastic; the hot springs would have been perfect if visited in winter. The itinerary design was very good. If I had to point out a flaw, it would be that the hotel we returned to after the Nebuta Festival was quite far. While the tourists weren't too tired, sleeping through the journey, the driver worked incredibly hard, driving for several hours late into the night. I suggest optimizing this part of the route.
