Excursão de dois dias para Ginzan Onsen, gelo de árvores de Zao e vila de raposas de Zao (hospedagem em hotel onsen) (inclui café da manhã e jantar)

Our tour guide for these two days was Tony, who took great care of us and even gave us small gifts. It was very cold at Ginzan Onsen, and he gave us hand warmers. On the second day, we also received hand warmers and chocolates. When we couldn't enter the Fox Village, he found an alternative for us, and we went to Shiroishi Castle, which was beautiful and worth a stroll and some photos. The driver was also excellent, driving very smoothly and always greeting everyone kindly when getting on and off the bus. This trip to Ginzan Onsen coincided with heavy snowfall, which was incredibly beautiful. On the second day, we visited Zao Juhyo (snow monsters), and we were incredibly lucky with the weather, which was perfectly clear. Although we couldn't take the cable car to the very top due to too many individual tourists, it was still very beautiful and worthwhile! We heard that the day before we went, Zao had a blizzard with very poor visibility, but on the day we visited, the sky was clear and sunny! We were very fortunate. We stayed at Kameya Hotel, which looked historic but was well-maintained and quite clean. The room was also very spacious, and the breakfast was abundant and delicious, offering both traditional Japanese and Western options. A big thank you to our guide and driver for their hard work these two days! 👍

Mr. Jude (蔡萌) is a responsible and friendly tour guide. Despite the unexpectedly worse-than-usual snowy road conditions, he did his utmost to accommodate our request to spend extra time at Ginzan Onsen to enjoy its beautiful gas-lit atmosphere. The highlight was the renowned Zao Snow Monster Ropeway tour. Even during peak hours on a busy Saturday, Jude successfully secured the ropeway tickets and thoughtfully arranged for us to stay longer at Jizo Sancho Ropeway Station (地藏山頂駅), allowing us to fully appreciate the Jizo Son (藏王地藏尊) and the spectacular Zao Snow Monsters (藏王樹冰). Thumbs up to Jude (蔡萌) for his dedication and excellent service.

We truly enjoyed our tour with Mr. Jude. He was responsible, punctual, and very well organized throughout the trip. His clear explanations and deep local knowledge made every stop meaningful. He also took good care of our group’s comfort and safety, which made us feel completely at ease. We highly recommend Mr. Jude to anyone visiting Ginzan Onsen and Zao Snow Monsters tour.

We had a marvelous time at Ginzan Onsen. The trip was definitely not rushed. We were able to compare its day and night view because our guide, Tom, gave us 3 hours to explore. My friend and I had an amazing time! Next was Zao ropeway which was equally wonderful! We love that Tom lets us enjoy the tour and make adjustments as needed. Definitely recommended!

Wow! This trip was definitely value for money. The one-night accommodation was the highlight of the trip! The travel agency gave us a traditional Japanese room with tatami! In addition, the dinner was fantastic and the breakfast was sumptuous! Not to mention the free-to-use Onsen! P.S. There is a Lawson near the hotel too. For other itinerary items, admission was free except for the fox village. Sammy, the handsome German-Chinese tour guide, was knowledgeable about the places we were visiting and was also very patient with latecomers. We enjoyed following his tour and hope we can join his tour in the future! And please expect to sit on the bus for hours because the journey from Tokyo to Sendai is long, and on the second day, please eat more for breakfast because we didn't eat until 6 PM at the rest and relax station.

Despite mishaps during the trip as one of the person in the tour got injured, our guide was able to resolve it quickly and smoothly go with our itinerary. Very recommendable!

Two very enjoyable days! We had a great time and the overall itinerary was very worthwhile. Special thanks to our tour leader, Xiao Cai (Brother Cai Meng), for his thoughtful arrangements for each activity and for introducing us to and reminding us of some Japanese cultural注意事项. Brother Cai Meng worked hard, running up and down throughout the trip, and even acted as a photographer + Reels director 🤣. I only have one thought about these two days: choosing the right tour leader makes the trip perfect 💯. We felt completely taken care of and brought home many wonderful memories. Looking forward to our next trip together! 🇯🇵✨

The overall itinerary was well-arranged, with every attraction properly scheduled. The highlight was probably the good weather we encountered; it snowed on the first day at Ginzan Onsen, and the second day was sunny, allowing the cable car to operate normally. Also, the group size wasn't too large, so we were able to take photos at the summit without much hassle. However, the second day's schedule was a bit rushed, and no time was allocated for lunch, so we had to eat snacks in the car. Our tour guide, Tom, was generally okay, but he wasn't proactive in communication before departure and didn't respond to my questions about the pick-up arrangements. He was easygoing and willing to help, but there's room for improvement in his professionalism.

This 2-day trip was amazing! We visited Ginzan Onsen during snowfall and Zao Monster during a sunny day, so I guess we were all pretty lucky! It was a memorable day at the right time and place. Even though we didn't visit Zao Fox Village, the whole tour was still very amazing. Our guide, Tony, was very nice to everyone and gave us some little treats. His tips were also really helpful throughout the trip. It's recommended to go in early February!

A snow experience full of joy and surprises. The Ginzan River scenery was incredibly beautiful, and with the perfect weather, we were treated to a stunning snowy landscape, just like something out of a fairy tale. Although Mount Zao was extremely cold with biting winds at the summit, it gave us an unprecedented and precious experience. However, the most important thing was that you arranged for a warm, humorous, thoughtful, and incredibly fluent English and Mandarin-speaking guide, Carter Sasaki, to lead us. His constant attentive service truly made my family and me feel warm even in this extremely cold weather, creating beautiful, unforgettable, and happy memories. I hope to have the opportunity to travel with Carter again to various places.
