Tohoku

In Zao Fox Village, many foxes roam freely around you. Afterwards, you'll be taken to Matsushima. The tour includes a voucher for trying Kamahō Honpo's hand-grilled fish cakes. You'll also receive a complimentary grilled oyster from Takejaku-an, which is quite delicious. There are many food trucks along the pier, creating a very chill atmosphere. The tour price also includes a ferry ticket for a coastal tour of Matsushima, one of Japan's three main islands. Overall, it's a wonderful trip where you can get up close to foxes and sample Matsushima's unique cuisine.

Thanks to our tour guide Diffany for reminding us of the importance of punctuality, which allowed everyone to have a smooth and enjoyable weekend.

There is a dedicated bus line from Hakodate Station to the Hakodate-Tsugaru Strait Ferry Terminal, which is very convenient. The ship is spacious, and you can lie down on the floor tatami in the standard cabin. The journey takes 3.5 hours to reach Aomori Port, which is a more unique travel experience than taking the Shinkansen.

The itinerary was well-planned, and the driver was very polite. Although he spoke Japanese, communication was no problem using a translation device. The scenery along the way was beautiful, and joining a KKday tour is a great option if you don't have a car!
