Things to do in Zao Ropeway Zao Sanroku Station

My first visit to Ginzan Onsen two years ago was met with a breathtaking blizzard. I was stunned by the beauty but also frozen by the temperature. Although I enjoyed the purest essence of Taisho Romance, the heavy snowfall prevented me from taking many photos, leaving me with only one picture and a lingering regret. This time, I decided to revisit with my camera to recapture those memories. Without the overwhelming snow and bustling crowds, I could better appreciate the retro charm of the place. I finally got to see the waterfall I missed last time, explore the mine I hadn't visited, and browse the small shops I couldn't properly explore before. Ginzan without the snow offered a different kind of serene elegance. This dream-fulfilling trip finally allowed me to make up for that beautiful regret from years ago. A special shout-out to the incredibly generous and delicious set lunch; I even thought it was extravagant. The plating was truly a work of art, and I thank the travel agency for their thoughtfulness.

Our tour guide, Ashley, was very friendly and provided detailed explanations! We were able to use the fast pass lane for the cable car, avoiding the long queues to go up the mountain! The guide mentioned that the snow had started melting two days prior, leaving only branches. Luckily, the day before our trip, strong winds blew the snow back, so the weather was perfect! ❄️🌲 We were so fortunate to see beautiful ice-covered trees ❄️ even though it was very windy and cold at the summit. The sun even came out as we were leaving! We were truly lucky! It's definitely worth seeing!

Van driver very good. Place is very good and cool. He help disabled. ginzan onsen, hotel, zao mountain and fox village.

Highly recommended for Mandarin-speaking as the place is run by Taiwanese. They were very helpful & patient with guidance for us group of beginner skiers.

Coach Vincent was very friendly and incredibly patient. He was excellent at guiding me, a beginner who hadn't skied in 20 years, constantly reminding and encouraging me. This allowed me to quickly regain my feel for skiing and even make some progress. Thank you, Coach! Awesome!!
