Sendai Yamagata Ginzan Onsen Full-Day Tour

Description

Yamagata Secret One-Day Tour: Cut off your worries and encounter the romance of hot springs From climbing the 1015 stone steps of the path of asceticism to strolling through the dreamy Ginzan Onsen, this one-day trip to Yamagata will completely purify your body and mind. First stop [Hojusan, Yamadera (Risshaku-ji Temple)] This ancient Tendai宗 temple is known as an energy sacred place for "severing bad relationships and forging good relationships." As you slowly climb the stone steps, each step seems to shed a worry. Matsuo Basho left a famous line here, "The sound of cicadas seeps into the rocks," which shows its ethereal and serene nature. Don't miss the "Godai-do Hall" built on the cliff. The moment you look out at the distant mountains, it is definitely worth the hour-long climb! Second stop [Michi-no-Eki Tendo Onsen] This is a paradise for shogi fans and a secret base for foodies. Watch a live carving demonstration of shogi pieces up close and feel the charm of a century-old craft. You can also feast on Tendo's special La France pear desserts at "Tento La France Factory" If you are tired of walking, soak your feet in the shogi-themed foot bath "Koma no Yu" for a full sense of healing. Final stop [Ginzan Onsen - Holy Land for Four Seasons] Step into the Notoya, the model for the "Spirited Away" scene, and feel like you've stepped into a time travel. The Taisho-era romantic wooden inn, the gas lamps on both sides of the Ginzan River, and the light snowflakes create a beautiful picture. The town is small, but every step is amazing: free foot baths, cute wooden doll souvenirs, and curry bread and rich tofu to eat while walking, full of Japanese happiness. Whether it's spiritual purification, traditional craft experience, or a romantic stroll through the world of animation, Yamagata can help you meet a purer version of yourself.
