Discover the must-see attractions in the Tohoku region with a comfortable bus journey. The Kinzua Water Shrine, located in Miyagi Prefecture, is an ancient sacred site visited to wish for wealth, business success, and good luck. The name of the shrine comes from a legend about a giant golden snake that found the water source. The shrine features many snake-related objects, such as talismans in the shape of snakes, ema, and the “Snake Eyes” pool, attracting numerous believers who visit.

Ginzan Onsen, located in Yamagata Prefecture, is a nostalgic hot spring town famous for its wooden hot spring inns from the Taisho era. This historic place by the river enchants visitors with its fairy-tale and romantic atmosphere. With rich natural hot spring resources, unique historical structures, and a tranquil environment, it draws the interest of many tourists with its charm and relaxing effects.

Although reaching these two popular destinations can be challenging, this day tour provides easy access and offers the opportunity to taste Yamagata's local cuisine. A Chinese-speaking assistant will accompany you throughout the tour, ensuring that your experience in Japan is smooth and enjoyable.
