Yamagata

The two-day tour was packed with activities that fulfilled our wishes. We finally visited the fairyland-like Ginzan Onsen and were awestruck by the Zao Snow Tree World. An unexpected bonus was our visit to Ouchi-juku, which resembled Shirakawa-go. Our tour leader, Vivien, was incredibly attentive, providing a well-planned itinerary, pointing out the best photo spots, and always greeting us with a smile, making it a pleasant and unforgettable trip.

When I arrived in Sendai, it hadn't snowed yet, and I thought I was doomed and could only see tree branches. But it turned out that there had been a blizzard on the mountain the day before, and the weather was great that day, so I got a spectacular view. It's definitely on my must-see list. However, the itinerary was too rushed. It took about half an hour to get up the cable car and then I had to come down, so I couldn't explore and take pictures of the beautiful scenery properly, which was a bit of a pity.

The driver arrived on time and thoughtfully offered to take a group photo for us. Communication, both before and during the trip, was smooth and efficient with customer service, making it a great choice for a worry-free trip to Ginzan Onsen.

We were very lucky; our family of five was the only one who signed up that day, so it felt a bit like a private tour. The travel agency even assigned us a friendly and lovely guide who was also from Taiwan! Kinshu-he Shrine isn't large, but it's very unique and is a shrine for praying for wealth! Many of our itinerary activities were moved up, and the travel agency even flexibly arranged for us to take a taxi instead of the shuttle bus to Ginzan—super kind! It saved us a lot of time! There weren't many crowds when we went to Ginzan Onsen, and we even had enough time to build a snowman! Seeing the long queues when we came down made me so glad I joined this great value tour!!

Thanks to Ashley, our trilingual guide, for leading us to the legendary Spirited Away scene and even encountering a blizzard, which added a unique touch to Ginzan Onsen. We also appreciate the driver's professionalism in taking us back to Sendai Station on time.

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!

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 ❤️❤️

The hotel was great, the location was carefully chosen. Although we couldn't go to the top of the ice tree, the tour guide immediately changed the itinerary. Peter Yang was excellent, fluent in English and Chinese, and also spoke fluent Chinese.
