Although the weather was not perfect as we could only see nothing on Zao Cable car, the guide was helpful to try suggesting other routes. He was also a funny guide to make us feel relaxed during the whole journey. Also, the customers from Taiwan were so friendly to allow me mingle in their group🥹Recommend the tour to everyone who is planning to join. Better to bring a jacket to keep you warm on the Zao mountain!

Our driver, Mr. Lee, was very responsible. The day before our trip, he proactively contacted us to provide meeting information. The itinerary for the day was also very smooth. At each attraction, he provided introductions and allowed flexible time for us to explore. When he learned that the noodle shop we planned for lunch was closed, he immediately adapted and took us to eat lunch near Tendo Onsen, also allowing time for everyone to browse the shops. It was fantastic! ❤️ Transportation to Fox Village and Ginzan Onsen can be inconvenient, so having a package tour like this is truly perfect for independent travelers!! 👍🏻

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 one-day shared tour was very convenient, and with a small group, we moved quickly. The driver was very kind and polite, and simple English communication was sufficient. The timing and pace of travel between attractions and free time were managed perfectly!

We took a day trip arranged by the travel agency to Fox Village, Shiroishi Umen Noodles, and Ginzan Onsen. The itinerary was packed but rewarding. Observing the foxes up close at Fox Village was a unique experience, the Shiroishi Umen noodles were refreshing and distinctly local, and the scenery at Ginzan Onsen was charmingly rustic. It was an unforgettable experience combining nature, culture, and delicious food.

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.

Today, I had a wonderful time on a day trip to Zao Fox Village in Sendai and Ginzan Onsen. The weather was beautiful and sunny, which made the entire journey even more enjoyable. At the fox village, I got to observe many adorable foxes up close; they roamed freely, truly allowing me to experience the charm of nature. Furthermore, the scenery at Ginzan Onsen was picturesque, with babbling brooks and magnificent surrounding mountains that uplifted my spirits. Soaking my ankles in the outdoor hot spring and enjoying the comfortable warmth helped me forget the stresses of daily life. Overall, this trip not only allowed me to get up close with foxes but also immersed me in the beautiful natural scenery, making it a truly unforgettable experience.

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.

More about Obanazawa

What to expect

Guided tours in Obanazawa usually combine local culture, scenic stops and relaxed walking or short transfers; they suit travellers who enjoy learning about a place through a guide rather than doing everything independently. These Tours tend to be easy to moderate physically and work well for couples, small groups and solo explorers wanting organised access to highlights.

How to choose

Pricing is mid-range with a meaningful spread between budget and premium options, so there’s real choice at both ends of the market. Entry-level Tours typically cover core sights and basic guiding, while higher-priced options add longer routes, specialised guides or smaller group sizes — pick based on how much depth and comfort you want.

When to go

Demand peaks in December and is at its quietest in August; December brings the busiest bookings and a lively atmosphere, while August sees much lower demand and easier availability. If avoiding crowds is your priority, aim for the quieter months like August when tours are less crowded and booking is simpler.
