[Northeastern Japan 2-Day Tour] Ginzan Hot Spring, Zao Juhyo & Fox Village (Depart from Shinjuku) | Chinese and English-speaking Guide
2026/01/21
Seeing snow for the first time was fantastic for me overall. Our guide, Oliver, was excellent; he was very kind, spoke three languages, and actively guided us throughout the trip. The itinerary was very well-planned, with ample time to explore, take photos, and enjoy the scenery at each stop. The hotel was comfortable, and the driver was a very skilled driver. Although the bus seats were a bit small, they were generally quite comfortable. I was lucky enough to see beautiful snowscapes. Although the heavy snowfall prevented me from seeing the Zao Snow Trees that day, and I only reached the first level of the cable car, it was still incredibly breathtaking. The foxes were also very cute.

Mr. Kenichi Nishioka, the driver, was very responsible. He picked us up and dropped us off on time, and hiring a car was perfect for our trip. Now we have another travel option.

Tohoku Day Trip | Ginzan Onsen, Zao Snow Trees & Cable Car, Special Lunch | Departure from Sendai (Chinese-speaking tour leader)
2026/01/04
In the morning, we went to Ginzan Onsen, had lunch at noon, and then enjoyed Zao Juh (a type of Japanese ice sculpture) in the afternoon. We were quite lucky with the weather; the Ginzan Onsen shuttle bus schedule was perfect, and we had priority tickets for groups at Zao Juh, so we didn't waste time queuing. Lunch was also very plentiful. Thank you to Lion Travel for organizing this tour; my family was very satisfied. Thank you also to our tour guide, Lili!

There were many foxes, and they enjoyed being cuddled and fed. The 90-minute visit felt a bit rushed.

Tohoku Day Trip | Ginzan Onsen, Zao Snowflakes, Fox Village | Departure from Sendai (Shared Ride/ Private Charter Car)
2025/12/31
Although it was a shared tour without a guide, the driver was very friendly, the ride was smooth, and the time was well managed. The Fox Village and Zao Snow Tree cable car trip was interesting and the scenery was beautiful and spectacular; however, in winter, you need to wear enough warm clothing and hats to visit Zao Snow Tree.
