Co dělat v 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.

Hotel shuttle within 2km of Sendai JR Station makes getting around super convenient. There isn't much of a guided tour; everyone just shares a comfortable 9-passenger van. Be sure to check the email sent the evening before for the exact arrival time at the pick-up spot, and it is recommended to head downstairs a bit early to wait. The following costs are not included: Fox Village admission fee (Junior high school students and above = 1500 yen / younger = free); Hand-stretched Shiroishi Umumen noodles at Koan (meal cost). We arrived and waited for a table before the restaurant opened, with a total of about 15 people across two vans. It took 17 minutes just to be seated and place our orders after opening, leaving only 15 minutes until the meeting time after the food was served. Waiting so long for a meal and then having to rush through eating was quite stressful—while the van will wait for you, it is rather annoying.

I když jsme nepřijeli v zimě, bylo to tu přesto velmi krásné. Celkové prostředí je klidné, turistů tu bylo dost. Cestovatelům, kteří si chtějí dopřát termální lázně, doporučujeme vzít si s sebou vlastní ručník na osušení nohou. Sedět u řeky, kochat se výhledem a odpočívat je opravdu skvělý zážitek.

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 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!

The tour guide was very thoughtful! We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel, and the nine-seater van was full. The timing was perfectly managed, and the guide even gave us a brief introduction to the sights. It's a shame it rained the whole time we were there, which made it a bit more challenging! Even so, we still felt that overall, it was a great one-day trip! Not tiring at all! Highly recommend it to everyone.

Průvodce a řidič v jedné osobě byl velmi zodpovědný, vše bylo perfektně zařízeno a zakoupené vstupenky byly do první řady, což bylo skvělé místo a vynikající hodnota za peníze. Hotel, který byl zařízen uprostřed cesty, byl také starý japonský ryokan, což byl velmi příjemný zážitek. Další dvě atrakce byly také skvělé, jen kdybychom jeli do horkých pramenů v zimě, bylo by to dokonalé. Trasa byla navržena velmi dobře. Jedinou vadou na kráse bylo, že po festivalu Nebuta byl hotel, do kterého jsme se vraceli, velmi daleko. Turisté nebyli příliš unavení, protože celou cestu prospali, ale řidič byl velmi vyčerpaný, protože několik hodin v noci nepřetržitě řídil. Doporučuji to optimalizovat.
