Zao

I was the only Taiwanese on the bus; everyone else was Japanese, which made for a unique experience. Since most of our time was spent on the bus, even on the "Snow Monster" train, we had to make the most of our breaks to pee. Also, there aren't many places to visit in Okari-da Onsen, and some shops were closed. It might be helpful to plan ahead and decide what to eat, as meals aren't provided. Additionally, the booking dates for the itinerary aren't synchronized with Japan's schedule. If you're planning to come next year, you should check online for information about the "Snow Monster" train at Sumikawa Ski Resort to find out when KKDAY will reopen the tour.

This family trip included both the elderly and children. After assessing the transportation and the needs of the members, we decided to hire a car. The Chinese-speaking driver was very considerate and talkative. In short, everyone agreed that the trip was very worthwhile and a great experience!

The meeting point was very convenient, the tour guide was very responsible and attentive, the driver was very skilled, the itinerary was very smooth, plentiful and wonderful, a truly happy and enjoyable experience ❤️❤️

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.

It snowed heavily the day before departure, but the sun came out that day. The snow-covered scenery was beautiful, and the sunshine made for a wonderful time to enjoy the views – I felt incredibly happy. Our tour leader, Ms. Wang Lili, planned the time exceptionally well. Our travel companions were also fantastic; everyone gathered early and arrived on time without any delays.

Both attractions were well worth the ticket price! The foxes were adorable, and Ginzan Onsen was absolutely beautiful!

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