[Grupo/Ônibus fretado] Termas de Ginzan + Árvores de gelo de Zao + Vila das Raposas Tour de 1 dia em pequeno grupo requintado (partida de Sendai)

Overall, the itinerary is still recommended. This trip used a 9-seater vehicle, and on the day, a total of 6 people shared the ride, making the seating space comfortable. The driver was punctual for pick-ups and drop-offs, had a friendly and polite attitude, and the driving process was stable, making one feel at ease. The stay at Fox Village was about one hour, which was quite sufficient to fully visit the park and browse the souvenir shop. It should be noted that even in winter, there might still be some odor in the park due to animal excrement and the foxes themselves. Travelers who are more sensitive to smells might need to pay special attention. The Ginzan Onsen itinerary was from 13:00 to 16:45, which was quite ample. Travelers can bring their own towels for foot bathing or purchase them at nearby stores. On that day, due to heavy snowfall, low temperatures, and a large crowd, taking photos required a longer waiting time. It was a pity that we couldn't actually soak our feet, but the overall stay time was still considered sufficient. In addition, the group members generally adhered to the meeting and itinerary times and returned to the bus pick-up area for Ginzan Onsen (Taisho Roman Kan) early. Finally, with everyone's agreement, we returned earlier. Overall, the trip atmosphere was good, making it a pleasant journey.

Driver Xiao Lu drove very steadily and was punctual! Although we only departed at 09:07 because a group member couldn't find the way, we still arrived at Zao Fox Village on time. We arrived at Ginzan Onsen at 12:45, instead of the scheduled 13:30, which gave us plenty of time to shop and soak our feet. Plus, there were very few tourists at this time on a Monday, allowing us to take many beautiful photos. On the way back, we even returned to Sendai Station an hour early, which was fantastic!! However, many shops and restaurants in Ginzan Onsen were already closed, and tourists started to increase after 15:00 when they reopened. We explored until 16:45, just in time to see Ginzan Onsen as it got dark (it starts getting dark at 16:00 in winter), which was beautiful! Since there were only a few of us in the group, we were transported in a small van, which allowed us to be dropped off at the closest parking lot to Ginzan Onsen, avoiding the need for a shuttle bus or a long walk. Overall, the itinerary was great and highly recommended!!

We had some initial difficulty finding the meeting point indicated by the app: Sendai Station is truly labyrinthine, and the directions are not as clear as in Tokyo. Furthermore, the driver was not exactly at the indicated meeting point, but in the parking lot in front, among a thousand parked cars. If you don't know your way around well, it's difficult to orient yourself, and you risk missing the trip due to this small misunderstanding. Apart from this, the trip was very pleasant, and our driver's guidance was quick and optimal. Even though he didn't speak English, with the help of a translation app, we understood each other without problems.

Today's one-day itinerary was very satisfying. Thank you to driver Wang Tao for the pick-up and drop-off. We chatted happily in Chinese. Today was a beautiful day, and we arrived safely at Zao Fox Village, where hundreds of foxes were adorable. Next, we visited Ginzan Onsen. Most of the snow had melted, but there was still a slight snowy landscape, creating a wonderful atmosphere. Three hours was just enough, and the timing for the shuttle bus was also perfect, making everything very smooth. We then returned.

Arriving at the summit of Mount Zao, I saw the "Snow Monster" (Juhyo), and was incredibly lucky to experience -12 degrees Celsius with a blizzard – something I'd never encountered before. Although my mouth was full of snow and frozen, it was breathtakingly beautiful and absolutely worth the trip. Upon reaching Ginzan Onsen, I also happened to catch heavy snowfall and the evening illuminations, creating a romantic, snowy atmosphere that was unforgettable. There were too many tourists at the attractions that day, and the queues for the cable car and bus were extremely long. Our driver was very patient while waiting, and despite the heavy snow, he drove carefully, ensuring our safe transport. Joining the tour also allowed us to meet new friends and look out for each other. I am grateful for this travel experience.

素晴らしいドライバーで、とても親切でした。朝の集合場所も分かりやすく、降車場所も便利でした。手間のかからない日帰り旅行をしたい方や、運転しない方には強くお勧めします。*注意* 蔵王ロープウェイの乗車は保証されていません。私たちが到着した午前10時頃には、すでに120分待ちの行列でした！次の目的地（銀山温泉）へ向かうための再集合時間は午後1時30分でした。リスクを冒す価値があるか？分かりません。なので、よく考えてください。

great experience 🥰My trip to Ginzan Onsen was such a wonderful and unforgettable experience. The town looked like something out of an old Japanese movie, with beautiful traditional buildings, a small river flowing through the center, and soft lights glowing at night. Walking around there felt peaceful and magical, especially when the snow made everything look even more stunning.

これは基本的に「相乗り」です。ドライバーが2つの観光地まで送迎し、ご自身で観光します。ドライバーは前日に、仙台バスターミナル向かいの道路が集合場所である旨のテキストメッセージを送ってきました。最初の目的地は蔵王山でした。ロープウェイのチケットはご自身で購入する必要があります。事前にオンラインで購入するとファストパスが利用できますが、指定された時間帯を逃した場合は、そのまま列に並んでください。次の目的地は銀山温泉でした。車のピックアップ時間は午後4時30分だったので、冬の午後4時頃にはライトアップされた銀山温泉を見ることができました。銀山の道は非常に凍結していて滑りやすいので、スノースパイクを着用してください。多くの人が転倒しているのを見かけました。各場所での滞在時間とドライバーの運転は問題ありませんでした。自分で移動する手間が省けたので、この車を予約してよかったです。キツネ村を追加する選択はしませんでした。あまりにも慌ただしくなると思ったからです（方向が逆になります）。

Todo según lo esperado. Nos llevaron a Fox Village, donde tuvimos tiempo de sobra para visitar, y luego nos trasladamos a Ginzan Onsen. Allí aparcamos a 5 minutos del onsen y cambiamos a un autobús que nos llevó y nos trajo de vuelta. Tuvimos más de 3 horas disponibles para visitar Ginzan Onsen, pero sentimos que 2 horas fueron más que suficientes. Hermosos paisajes a lo largo del camino.

The driver was very punctual, which was a great relief. The car was spacious and comfortable. It's a shame that tickets weren't included; otherwise, it would have been absolutely perfect. All in all, it was still excellent.
