Sendai Zájazdy

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.

Vodič, ktorý nám slúžil aj ako sprievodca, bol veľmi pozorný. Kontaktoval nás večer predtým, aby potvrdil miesto vyzdvihnutia. Deväťmiestne vozidlo bolo pohodlné a nebolo preplnené. Mali sme šťastie vidieť Ginzan pokrytý hustým snehom – skutočne krásny a hodnotný zážitok.

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!

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!

Od začiatku objednávky s nami čínsky koordinátor podrobne komunikoval o itinerári a zmeny boli možné až do niekoľkých dní pred odchodom. Hoci vodič v deň cesty hovoril po japonsky, mal bohaté skúsenosti s riadením a vedel aj jednoduchú čínštinu, takže komunikácia nebola problém. Nakoniec sa cesta úspešne dokončila.

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.

Prišli sme na autobusovú zastávku skôr a už sme dostali užitočnú správu od nášho sprievodcu Yoshiho cez Whatsapp. Nastúpili sme do autobusu a Yoshi nás sprevádzal do Zao Fox Village a Ginzan Onsen. Nastali nejaké zmeny na poslednú chvíľu, ale všetko nám vysvetlil a my sme si užili skvelý deň pri návšteve miestnej prefektúry a okolitých oblastí. Jedlo bolo vynikajúce, príbehy, ktoré Yoshi rozprával, a anglický preklad boli skvelé. Navštívili sme, čo sme chceli, a mali sme skvelý deň. Ďakujeme Yoshimu a nášmu profesionálnemu vodičovi za to, že nám pripravili takýto skvelý deň! Arigato Gozaimasu!

The tour guide was very thoughtful! We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel, and the nine-seater van was full. The timing was perfectly managed, and the guide even gave us a brief introduction to the sights. It's a shame it rained the whole time we were there, which made it a bit more challenging! Even so, we still felt that overall, it was a great one-day trip! Not tiring at all! Highly recommend it to everyone.
