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.

Mr. Sato, our driver, was lovely and provided excellent service. He was very friendly and conversational, and his pick-up and drop-off were punctual. If anyone is interested in visiting Ginzan Onsen to see it at night, I highly recommend this transfer service.

Quick facts about Obanazawa
General info
What to know before visiting Obanazawa
Discover Obanazawa’s pace and top experiences
Obanazawa’s bookings on Klook show a strongly seasonal rhythm, with tours leading the way among activities. Expect a year that swings between a busy winter peak and much quieter spring and summer months, so planning around those swings will shape your experience.
Best months to visit for crowds and prices
Klook data shows January as the busiest month and May as the quietest. Prices move independently of demand at times: they dip through autumn with October typically the cheapest month on Klook, while prices climb to a peak around June. If you want lower prices and fewer people, aim for October or the quieter late-spring and summer months; if you prefer peak-season atmosphere and don’t mind higher demand, January delivers the liveliest scene.
Tips for travellers from the United States
Travelers from the United States typically book about two weeks ahead, with more cautious planners locking in options closer to four weeks before travel. For short, flexible trips you can still find last-minute availability roughly a week out, but if you’re traveling in January’s peak, booking earlier on Klook will help secure preferred tours and times.
