White Stone Castle

Customer service will provide the driver's license plate number first. Wait at the designated time and address, and the driver will arrive on time. Then you can simply get in the car. The fox village has many foxes of various colors, and there's even a 1000 yen "fox hug" activity. Unfortunately, the snow had melted by the end of February, so we couldn't see the foxes rolling in the snow. However, I still recommend visiting overall. Taking public transportation would be very time-consuming, and this chartered car service perfectly suited our needs.

We participated in this tour on February 3, 2026. The itinerary was well-planned, the travel time was precise, and we even arrived early, allowing ample time for sightseeing and photos. Our guide, Ms. Yuka, provided enthusiastic introductions, and all members of our group were punctual, making it a wonderful trip. Because there was sufficient time, we were able to participate in the paid fox-holding and photo opportunity at the Fox Village. Furthermore, all information on the cruise ship in Matsushima was available in both Japanese and Chinese. The mode of transportation was a mid-sized bus; if you're worried about not being able to walk back to the parking lot, you can mark your parking location on Google Maps on your phone. We chose this tour because we didn't want to go to Ginzan Onsen (crowded, small attraction, long round trip), and Zao Ski Resort had a separate full day available, so this itinerary perfectly met our needs.
