Obanazawa दिन की यात्राएँ

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.

ड्राइवर, जो हमारे गाइड भी थे, बहुत चौकस थे। उन्होंने पिक-अप स्थान की दोबारा पुष्टि करने के लिए पिछली रात हमसे संपर्क किया। नौ सीटों वाला वाहन आरामदायक था और उसमें भीड़ नहीं थी। हम भारी बर्फबारी से ढके गिंज़ान को देखकर भाग्यशाली थे - वास्तव में एक सुंदर और सार्थक अनुभव।

इन दो दिनों में हमारे गाइड टोनी थे, उन्होंने हमारा बहुत अच्छे से ख्याल रखा और हमें छोटे-छोटे उपहार भी दिए। जब हम गिनज़ान ओन्सेन गए तो बहुत ठंड थी, उन्होंने हमें वार्मर पैक भी दिए। दूसरे दिन भी उन्होंने हमें वार्मर पैक और चॉकलेट दिए। जब हम फॉक्स विलेज नहीं जा पाए, तो उन्होंने हमें किसी और जगह ले जाने का इंतजाम किया, और हम शिरोइशी कैसल गए, जो बहुत सुंदर था और घूमने, टहलने और तस्वीरें लेने लायक था। ड्राइवर भी बहुत अच्छे थे, उन्होंने बहुत सावधानी से गाड़ी चलाई और उतरते-चढ़ते समय सभी का गर्मजोशी से अभिवादन किया। इस बार गिनज़ान ओन्सेन जाते समय हमें भारी बर्फबारी देखने को मिली, जो बहुत खूबसूरत थी। दूसरे दिन जब हम ज़ाओ जुह्यो गए, तो हमारी किस्मत बहुत अच्छी थी, मौसम बहुत साफ था। हालांकि, बहुत सारे व्यक्तिगत यात्रियों के कारण हम सबसे ऊपर वाली केबल कार में नहीं बैठ पाए, फिर भी यह बहुत सुंदर और देखने लायक था! हमने सुना था कि हमारे जाने से एक दिन पहले ज़ाओ में भारी बर्फबारी के कारण दृश्यता बहुत खराब थी, लेकिन जिस दिन हम गए उस दिन मौसम बिल्कुल साफ था! हम बहुत भाग्यशाली थे। हम कामेया होटल में रुके, होटल ऐतिहासिक लग रहा था, लेकिन इसे काफी साफ-सुथरा रखा गया था। कमरा भी बहुत बड़ा था, और नाश्ता स्वादिष्ट और भरपूर था, जिसमें पारंपरिक जापानी और पश्चिमी दोनों तरह के विकल्प थे। इन दो दिनों में गाइड और ड्राइवर ने बहुत मेहनत की, उन्हें धन्यवाद! 👍

Today, I booked this tour program with Andy Shi as our guide. I felt very happy and had a great time. The guide was very kind, helpful, and attentive throughout the trip. Everything was really nice. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience!

Excellent and competent! The tour guide/driver led a very good and experienced small group, and reminded the group members the day before departure. At each location, there were clear instructions and introductions to the attractions, as well as maps and walking guides. This time we went to Yamadera Temple and there was snow, the scenery was very beautiful. The tour guide/driver also suggested that we go to Ginzan early to see the snow scene and specially adjusted the itinerary, and finally we went to Tendo to buy souvenirs and local products. The journey was very pleasant!

मैं व्यक्तिगत रूप से सोचता हूँ कि कुल मिलाकर अनुभव बहुत अच्छा था, हालाँकि, जिस हिस्से पर मुझे लगता है कि ध्यान देने की आवश्यकता है वह दोपहर के भोजन के अवकाश के लिए दिया गया समय है, राजमार्ग पर रुकना थोड़ा कम है। इसके अलावा, व्यवस्था और आतिथ्य के लिए गाइड को बहुत-बहुत धन्यवाद।

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!

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.

We arrived early to the bus stop and had already received a helpful message from our tour guide Yoshi on Whatsapp. We boarded the bus and had Yoshi guide us to the Zao Fox Village and Ginzan Onsen. There were some last minute changes but he explained everything and we had a great day visiting the local prefecture and neighbouring areas. The food was great, the stories Yoshi provided and English translation was great. We visited what we wanted and had a great day. Thank you to Yoshi and our professional driver for making this a great day! Arigato Gozaimasu!
