- 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!
