– Attractions Introduction –

  • Ginzan Onsen

Ginzan Onsen, located in Yamagata Prefecture, is named after the discovery of silver mines over 500 years ago. The streets are lined with wooden hot spring inns, with gurgling streams flowing through them. At night, gas lamps illuminate the streets, exuding a nostalgic and romantic atmosphere. This area was once the filming location for the classic Japanese drama "Oshin" and is even said to have inspired the hot spring baths in the anime "Spirited Away." Every winter, the snowy landscape and retro architecture create a dreamlike scene, attracting countless travelers.

  • Yamagata Zao Hydrangea (It is recommended that passengers purchase cable car tickets in advance on the official website to shorten waiting time.)

Zao's frost-covered trees are one of Tohoku's most spectacular winter wonders. Due to the terrain and climatic conditions, cold water droplets cling to coniferous trees, then blanket them in thick layers of snow, creating a snow-like "juhyo" (ice frost). Ascending via a cable car, you'll be amazed by the breathtaking spectacle of a silvery world unfolding before your eyes. This is a truly unique winter wonderland, a must-see.

  • Zao Fox Village

Zao Fox Village, located in Miyagi Prefecture, is Japan's only fox-themed park. Home to over a hundred lively and adorable foxes with diverse personalities, some lazily basking in the sun, others nimbly running about, their expressions truly soothing. Visitors can enjoy close-up viewing, feeding, and photo opportunities in designated areas. The snow-covered landscape in winter adds to the fairytale atmosphere, making it one of Tohoku's most popular attractions.
