Excursão de Ônibus Iluminada por Ginzan Onsen e Destaques de Tohoku saindo de Sendai

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!

Отличная однодневная экскурсия со станции Сендай. Автобус был просторным, чистым, комфортабельным, с Wi-Fi и столиком для напитков и закусок. Водитель и гид были пунктуальны и профессиональны. Наш гид, Саничи, действительно выделялся. Он хорошо говорит по-английски, обладает обширными знаниями и делился полезными советами на протяжении всего дня. Он также рассказал нам вдохновляющую историю Хамагучи Горё и «Огня рисовых снопов», сопровождая ее легкими шутками, что сделало тур расслабляющим и гостеприимным. Он помогал делать фотографии и давал отличные рекомендации о том, что посмотреть и где поесть. Деревня лис Зао была веселой и уникальной, с лисами, которых можно было увидеть вблизи. Кормление или объятия стоили дополнительно, и гид помогал с переводом. Обед представлял собой простой, но вкусный набор из лапши и темпуры. Гинзан Онсэн был переполнен и дождлив, но хорошо организован с четкими инструкциями. Все равно стоит посетить, так как до него очень трудно добраться общественным транспортом. В целом, фантастическая однодневная поездка — страсть гида имела решающее значение.

The trip was very enjoyable! This group of 11 people happened to be all from Hong Kong and Taiwan, so the tour guide spoke Chinese the entire time (a Japanese person who spoke excellent Chinese!). The tour guide introduced a lot of Sendai's history along the way, and we learned a lot. Because everyone in the group gathered quickly and was very cooperative, we arrived early and had more time to spend at the attractions. It's about a 40-minute drive from Sendai Station to Fox Village, with a stop at a rest area with souvenir shops for a restroom break. At Fox Village, we got to hold limited-edition baby foxes in May 🦊, super cute! The smell wasn't as strong as I imagined (fox smell). It's about a 20-minute drive from Fox Village to the lunch spot, which was a really high-end restaurant with delicious food 😋. From the restaurant to Ginzan Onsen, it's about a 2-hour drive, with a stop at a rest area for a restroom break. We stopped at Taisho Romankan to transfer to a shuttle bus, which took about 5 minutes to reach Ginzan Onsen. The hot spring town isn't big; you can walk around it twice in 30 minutes if you're fast, or soak your feet in a footbath for an hour. The tofu recommended by the tour guide is only sold at Ginzan Onsen and is very delicious! Other souvenirs and curry bread are sold at Taisho Romankan, and the ice cream at Taisho Romankan is also tasty. On the way back, the tour guide had pre-booked the shuttle bus, so we got on at the scheduled time and had seats (we shared the shuttle with another group, 41 people in total). Because we left early, we encountered a minor traffic jam due to an accident on the way back to Sendai, but we still arrived at 6:15. I highly, highly recommend joining this day trip. I had some initial concerns, but HIS company responded super quickly when I wrote to them! (Klook customer service didn't help with inquiries, so I wrote to HIS company myself).

I was very satisfied with our trip. Our guide was very friendly and always gave us tips and recommendations when we arrived at a new stop. Our driver also did a great job. I felt safe and comfortable throughout the entire trip.

You can visit two places in one day. Fox Village is fun; you can pay to hug foxes, and baby foxes are cute. Ginzan Onsen is quite far from Fox Village, about two hours away. Even when it's not winter, Ginzan is still busy. Lunch, which included good noodles, was provided. Our guide, Elina, was very nice and helpful. She took us to the locations and clearly communicated the meeting place and time.

The directions to the meeting point were clear and helpful! The Japanese tour guide spoke English, and although it was a little different, we could understand. The noodle lunch set was great! The time spent at the fox village could be shortened so that we have more time at Ginzan Onsen.

This was the best day tour I over experienced! I booked this tour because I wanted to visit both Ginzan Onsen & Zao Fox Village and having it all came true on the same day is just so amazing! There are 3 tour guides who can speak English, Japanese, Mandarin. They are all very nice, the main tour guide (Shun-san) created this informative sheets & digital presentations for us, which I very much appreciated. I love the fact that almost for the entire ride he giving us history and recommendations for each places we visit/pass by. The visit duration in the Fox Village was good, but I wish I had a bit more time in Ginzan Onsen as it was very crowded and hard to get good pictures.. We also get lunch arranged and it was delicious! Overall I had such a wonderful time, totally recommended! I can’t wait to join another tour arranged by HIS on my next Japan trip! ❤️♨️🦊

The experience itself was good. Although I do have some questions regarding the quality of the car at the fox village, the overall experience was good. Just a warning that certain tourists mark their territories in the toilet, so they are rarely clean. They're better at marking territories than the foxes themselves, lol.

The tour guide speaks both Chinese and English, so communication is not a problem! Since I was traveling alone, the guide was very enthusiastic, friendly, and took great care of me. In Ginzan, she introduced me to the interesting stories and history of each inn ❤️ and also helped me take many beautiful photos ❤️. There was plenty of time to explore the attractions; I soaked my feet in Ginzan and even held a fox at Fox Village 🦊! Although the environment at Fox Village had a bit of a strong smell, the foxes were all adorable and walked right by us 😺. The guide also gave a very detailed introduction to Fox Village and the rules we needed to follow! The shuttle service was also convenient, with plenty of restroom breaks along the way!

The bus tour to Zao Fox Village and Ginzan Onsen was such a fun day. The foxes were super cute, and Ginzan Onsen visit was a bit fast but understandable given the traffic on the way home.
