I was very satisfied with today's full-day trip. Thank you to the driver, Wang Tao, for the pick-up and drop-off and for the great conversation in Chinese. Today was a good day, and we arrived safely and smoothly at Zao Fox Village. The hundreds of foxes were very cute. Next was Ginzan Onsen. The snow has mostly melted, but there's still a little bit of snow, and the scenery is beautiful. Three hours was plenty, and the timing of the shuttle bus was just right, very smooth. Heading home now.

Great day tour from Sendai Station. The bus was spacious, clean, comfortable, and had WiFi plus a tray for drinks and snacks. Driver and guide were punctual and professional.
Our guide, Sanichi, really stood out. He speaks good English, is knowledgeable, and shared useful tips throughout the day. He also told us the inspiring story of Hamaguchi Goryo and the “Fire of Rice Sheaves,” with light jokes along the way that made the tour feel relaxed and welcoming. He helped take photos and gave great recommendations on what to see and eat.
Zao Fox Village was fun and unique, with foxes up close. Feeding or hugging costs extra, and the guide helped with translation. Lunch was a simple but tasty noodle and tempura set.
Ginzan Onsen was crowded and rainy, but well managed with clear instructions. Still worth visiting, as it’s very hard to reach by public transport. Overall, a fantastic day trip—the guide’s passion made all the difference.

The hotel pick-up and drop-off was very convenient, much easier than taking the bus on my own. The tour guide was very friendly. Unfortunately, the Shiroishi warm noodles shop was closed on Wednesday, so we went to Tendo Onsen instead. Many shops in Ginzan Onsen were also closed, which was a bit of a shame, but the scenery along the way was very beautiful and worth a visit.

We participated on October 20th with a group of 7 people. Our tour guide was Ms. Wei, and we had a very new mid-sized bus. Our driver, Mr. Iwabuchi from Japan, was a very professional driver.
In the morning, we took the Zao Ropeway, and in the afternoon, we went to Ginzan Onsen. There were scheduled restroom breaks along the way. Due to time constraints, lunch was changed to the Yamagata Prefectural Tourist Center, which was clearly explained in advance via e-mail, which was great. Also, Ms. Wei helped everyone order during lunch, providing excellent service. It was a wonderful day trip, and my family was very satisfied.

Originally, the day tour required a minimum of three people, but because one of the members canceled, the guide didn't want to disappoint us, so they proceeded as planned, turning it into a private tour for just my husband and me. Although the only person accompanying us on the entire trip was a driver who only spoke Japanese, he enthusiastically translated everything for us, communicated with us using translation apps, and introduced us to many of Sendai's unique features. We are truly grateful to him! The fox village and Ginzan Onsen are worth a visit, and we are very fortunate that we chose this day tour and had a fulfilling and enjoyable day!

The Travel Agent emailed the reminder invluding the driver’s details via email a day before the trip. Communicated with the driver, Mr Li, whom is pleasant and accommodating. He arrived on time, drive along the trip was smooth and safe. My family and I enjoyed the destinations along the trip. Recommended.
