Saker att göra i Yamagata

Även om vädret inte var perfekt, då vi inte kunde se någonting från Zao Cable car, var guiden hjälpsam och försökte föreslå andra rutter. Han var också en rolig guide som fick oss att känna oss avslappnade under hela resan. Dessutom var kunderna från Taiwan så vänliga att de lät mig umgås i deras grupp 🥹 Rekommenderar turen till alla som planerar att delta. Bättre att ta med en jacka för att hålla dig varm på Zao-berget!

The 2-day trip to Ginzan Onsen was an absolute 10/10! I strongly recommend staying overnight; the night view is truly breathtaking, making you feel like you've stepped right into the fairytale world of Spirited Away. The pace of the itinerary was very comfortable, with no rushed sightseeing. Staying at a ryokan, we enjoyed authentic Japanese meals for breakfast and dinner, and the hot spring water was of excellent quality—soaking in it left our whole bodies wonderfully warm. Strolling through the historic hot spring street during the day, watching the antique lamps light up at dusk, and experiencing the quiet, crowd-free town in the early morning made for amazing photos. The entire arrangement was smooth, worry-free, and effortless. It was an unforgettable trip, and I'd love to visit again next time!

Although we didn't visit during the winter, it was still very beautiful. The overall environment is peaceful with quite a few tourists. For visitors who plan to soak in the hot springs, it is recommended to bring your own towel to dry your feet. Sitting by the river to enjoy the scenery and relax is a wonderful experience.

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.

Mr. Sato, our driver, was lovely and provided excellent service. He was very friendly and conversational, and his pick-up and drop-off were punctual. If anyone is interested in visiting Ginzan Onsen to see it at night, I highly recommend this transfer service.

Guiden var även chaufför och var mycket ansvarsfull, allt var välordnat. Biljetterna vi köpte var på första raden, platserna var utmärkta och det var verkligen prisvärt. Hotellet som ordnades mitt i resan var också ett gammalt japanskt värdshus, en mycket trevlig upplevelse. De andra två sevärdheterna var också fantastiska, men om man besöker onsen på vintern vore det perfekt. Rutten var mycket välplanerad. Om jag ska nämna en brist så var det att hotellet efter Nebuta-festivalen låg väldigt långt bort. Turisterna hade det inte så jobbigt, de sov hela vägen, men chauffören hade det väldigt tufft med flera timmars körning mitt i natten. Jag föreslår att detta optimeras.
