It was so spacious and I had a great time skating. There is a shuttle bus from Morioka, so it's easy to access. Please note that the shuttle bus needs to be reserved in advance.
The package I ordered included a lucky stone, duck feed, and lunch. Seating was arranged, and after checking in, we received a number and waited to be called. Lunch was delicious, and the ducks chasing the boat were so cute! When we arrived at the walking spot, the snow scenery was so beautiful that it was easy to forget to throw the stone and make a wish while taking pictures, so please keep an eye on the time!
Customized round-trip itinerary to Sendai. The driver was friendly and polite, and could communicate in Chinese, which was very convenient. The car was clean and comfortable. Overall, I was very satisfied with the trip. Chartering a car made the journey very easy, and I will definitely use it again in the future and recommend it to my friends.
Due to weather conditions, some parts of our original itinerary could not be visited. The contact person immediately offered suggestions and discussed alternative attractions. The driver was very friendly and helpful, recommending many restaurants. This saved us the trouble of traveling and changing vehicles in the snowy winter. We were very satisfied with the experience!
Just as expected, there was no wind, and there were so few people that I was worried about them! The lift was easy to get on, so I was able to ski down the slopes in an incredibly comfortable manner. There seemed to be a slightly larger number of skiers, but it seems that all the snowboarders were enjoying themselves in the forest. Even the beginner's section was too difficult to attempt the tree run, but I was very satisfied just with the slopes. The temperature was minus 10 degrees, but thanks to the lack of wind, it didn't feel that cold. The Sangen pork red curry was also very delicious. I'll definitely go again, even if I have to take the Shinkansen and rent a car!!
