Passeios por Ginzan Onsen

I booked a 2-day, 1-night trip to Ginzan Onsen and Mount Zao via Klook, traveling with GogoDay and tour guide Tony Chiu. The driver and Tony were friendly and took great care of everyone. Tony tried his best to explain things and introduce the places in Chinese, Japanese, and English. He was also very kind, prepared, and provided some warm packs and Japanese sweets for us. This was especially helpful as our group had over 50 travelers from different countries. Thank you so much, Tony! I will strongly recommend this tour to friends and hope we can join your tour group next time!

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! 👍

The trip was wonderful. It's worth visiting, though a bit rushed. We considered ourselves lucky as it was snowing. It was so beautiful. The Zao Ropeway is another spot you must not miss. The view was magnificent.

It was a beautiful trip and definitely worth booking. It was an amazing experience and one we will remember for life. Our tour guide Jud was extremely helpful and everything you would ever want as a tour guide. He was kind, respectful, accommodating, and most of all organized. He was able to guide such a large group of people so well and still kept the experience personal. We will definitely be recommending this to all of our friends. Shout out to Jud!!

Two years ago, my first visit to Ginzan Onsen was met with a breathtaking blizzard. I was stunned by the beauty and frozen by the temperature. Although I enjoyed the purest sentiments 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 those memories with my camera. Without the overwhelming white snow and bustling crowds, I could better appreciate the retro charm of the place. I made up for everything I missed last time: the waterfall, the mine I hadn't explored, and the small shops I couldn't browse thoroughly. Ginzan without snow offered a quiet elegance, and this dream-fulfilling trip finally completed the beautiful regret from years ago. A special commendation goes to the incredibly rich and delicious set lunch; I even thought it was extravagant. It was truly a beautiful plating art, and I thank the travel agency for their thoughtfulness.

This time, I shared a car with three partners, and there was a dedicated car service along the way (available within a 2km radius of Sendai Station). Mr. Li is a Chinese national who has worked in Japan for four years. He has a kind demeanor and provides simple introductions. If you're looking to charter a car or share a car and want to avoid the hassle of travel, I highly recommend joining this tour!

I personally think the overall experience was great, however, the part I think needs to be looked into is the time allowed for the lunch break; the highway stop is a little short. Other than that, good job to the guide for the arrangement and hospitality.

What a nice trip and unforgotable memory. Thank you very much to Mr. Tony, our tour guide who has helped us a lot and of course did his job very well during the tour. Keep up the good work !!! Thank you Go go day.... CU next trip🤗
