Travel time may vary depending on road conditions. In addition, due to unexpected traffic congestion or crowded tourist spots, we may be forced to omit some sightseeing spots, shorten the sightseeing time, or delay arrival at accommodation or move up departure times.
Depending on weather conditions and growing conditions, you may not be able to see the frost-covered trees or snow scenery. In a normal year, frost-covered trees form in December (initial stage/frost formation), January (growing period/frost formation), and February (peak period). The growth rate varies depending on weather conditions, but if the winter is warm, you may not be able to see them.
To get to Ginzan Onsen town, you will need to change to a shuttle bus just before the hot spring town.
Depending on the ropeway reservation time, departure from the hotel on the second day may be around 7:30.
Waiting times for the Ginzan Onsen and Zao Ropeway are usually 60 to 120 minutes. We have set aside time to accommodate this wait, but you may have to wait a long time to board the ropeway.
The ropeway may be suspended or the riding section may be changed due to weather conditions, etc. In the event of suspension, we will refund the purchase price depending on the situation, but this does not apply if the cost is covered by alternative measures, etc.
The itinerary may be changed due to facility closures, etc.
Please note that for departures on December 30th, 31st, and January 1st, the second day of the trip will be omitted due to Toko Sake Brewery being closed.
