- Attraction Introduction -


  • Ginzan Onsen

Ginzan Onsen, located in Yamagata Prefecture, is named after the discovery of
silver mines over 500 years ago. Wooden inns line the streets, with streams
flowing gently by. At night, gaslights illuminate the entire street, creating
a nostalgic and romantic atmosphere. This location was a filming location for
the classic Japanese drama "Oshin" and is rumored to be the inspiration for
the bathhouse in the anime "Spirited Away." Every winter, the snow-covered
scenery and retro architecture create a dreamlike scene, attracting countless
travelers.


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

Zao Snow Trees are one of the most spectacular natural wonders in the Tohoku
region during winter. Due to the terrain and climate, cold water droplets
adhere to the coniferous trees, which are then covered with thick snow,
forming snow-like ice formations. As you ascend by cable car, a silvery-white
world unfolds before your eyes, a magnificent spectacle that is truly
breathtaking. This is a winter-only natural wonder that you shouldn't miss.


  • Zao Fox Village

Zao Fox Village, located in Miyagi Prefecture, is the only fox-themed
amusement park in Japan. Home to over a hundred foxes, each with their own
lively and adorable personality, some lazily sunbathing, others nimbly running
around, their antics are incredibly soothing. Visitors can also observe, feed,
and take photos with the foxes in designated areas. In winter, the park is
covered in snow, adding to its fairytale-like atmosphere, making it one of the
most popular tourist attractions in the Tohoku region.
