Sendai

We went skiing as a family. It snowed the night before, so the snow piled up and made for great skiing conditions. There weren't many other people, which the kids seemed to enjoy.

With the itinerary arranged well, and having pre-booked group priority tickets for the Zao Ropeway upon arrival, we didn't waste time queuing and had more time to enjoy the beautiful snow-covered trees and take photos on the mountain. Lunch was also plentiful, featuring delicious local Yamagata cuisine. Our tour leader, Ms. Huang Lili, was very experienced, attentive, friendly, and provided excellent explanations. We were on a day trip on March 17th, and were very lucky to even see the snow-covered trees!

I've used this service several times before, and I enjoyed it again this time!

This visit to the Zao Fox Village in Miyagi Prefecture was a truly therapeutic experience. The park operates on a free-range system, allowing for close observation of the foxes' habits, making it perfect for ecology and photography enthusiasts. 1. Historical Origins: Founded in the 1990s, the Zao Fox Village was initially established for fox conservation and research, later evolving into a facility combining education and tourism. 2. Behavioral Observation: Foxes are among the few canids with feline characteristics (such as their pupils and climbing abilities), making it fascinating to observe their social behaviors (such as howling when fighting for territory). 3. Seasonal Requirement: The foxes shed their thick winter fur in winter, reaching their most fluffy and adorable peak appearance, making this the most recommended time to visit.

I bought three tour packages for my Sendai day trip and I was really impressed with HIS Travel, especially the tour guides who provided very informative explanations. The meals and services were also excellent. Although the route from Fox Village to Ginzan Onsen isn't exactly on the same line, and much of the itinerary involves traveling by bus and changing buses, the tour group handled everything meticulously, ensuring that everyone was comfortable and at ease. It was a fantastic experience.

Thank you KKDay for providing this opportunity; I was extremely satisfied! I hope it continues! I'd love to take a lesson every year, haha! Thank you to instructor Taira and another excellent teacher for their guidance and assistance. Thank you for your excellent attention to student safety and emotional support, which made my husband and I have a wonderful and enjoyable experience. Language wasn't a problem, haha! After class, you're free to explore, but please remember to return your ski suits and helmets by the designated time! So we spent the afternoon exploring the snow on our own! It was very comfortable and relaxing; we could even go inside to rest before heading out again! Finally, we were completely satisfied and ready to take the bus home! Highly recommended! Go for it! (P.S. After getting off the bus, the ticket office and restaurant are on the right. There are changing rooms and general ski equipment rentals in the middle. Regular skiers and snow enthusiasts can get ready and then enter from there. However, if you've registered for a ski lesson and need to check in, after getting off the bus, go directly to the far left to find the ski school hut. Registration, equipment rentals, etc., are all done there. We had to ask the staff at the entrance/exit office for directions; everyone was very friendly!)

The original speed is fast, but there should be a daily limit; it's still quite useful though.

Despite the rain, the overall experience was good. The driver drove smoothly, and there was plenty of time. I would suggest stopping a little longer at the Tendo stop, as 50 minutes was too rushed for sushi, and the food service there is rather slow. We soaked our feet in the Ginzan Onsen foot bath, but since it was a weekday, many shops were closed. The place wasn't very big; it would have been better if we could have stayed until the lights came on.
