- Attractions Introduction -


  • Ginzan Onsen

Ginzan Onsen, located in Yamagata Prefecture, is named after the silver mines
discovered there over 500 years ago. The area retains a rich nostalgic
atmosphere, with wooden hot spring inns lined along a stream. At night, the
streets are illuminated by gas lamps, creating a quaint and romantic
atmosphere. Ginzan Onsen was not only the filming location for the classic
Japanese drama "Oshin," but is also said to have inspired the hot spring baths
in the anime "Spirited Away." Every winter, the snowy landscape and retro
architecture create a dreamlike experience, drawing countless travelers.


  • Yamagata Zao Ice Tree

The Zao frost trees are one of Tohoku's most spectacular winter wonders. Due
to Mount Zao's proximity to the Sea of ​​Japan, the northwest monsoon winds
condense cold water droplets on the coniferous forests, blanketing them in
thick layers of snow, creating unique "snow monster" formations. As you ascend
in a cable car, your view of the silvery white world outside is captivating.
Marvel at the magnificent frost trees, awe-inspiring at the wonders of nature
and a truly breathtaking winter experience.


  • Zao Fox Village

The Fox Village in Zao Town, Miyagi Prefecture, is Japan's only fox-themed
park, home to over a hundred free-roaming foxes. Upon entering the park,
you'll be greeted by a vibrant and adorable group of foxes with diverse
personalities, some lazily basking in the sun, others nimbly running about,
each a delightful sight. The park also offers a hands-on experience where you
can hand-feed the foxes and take photos with them, a truly therapeutic
experience. The snow-covered landscape in winter adds to the fairytale
atmosphere, making it a must-see attraction for travelers visiting Tohoku!
