Overview

【Zao Fox Village】 Zao Fox Village is a fox-themed zoo located on Mount Zao in the northwest of Shiroishi City. It houses over 100 foxes of about 6 species, including the familiar Hokkaido fox, as well as rare species such as silver foxes, blue foxes, platinum foxes, shadow foxes, and cross foxes. 【Ginzan Onsen】 Ginzan Onsen is said to be the filming location for Hayao Miyazaki's animated film "Spirited Away." The banks of this hot spring town are lined with wooden ryokans (traditional Japanese inns) built from the Taisho era to the early Showa era. The thick snow on the roads and the gas lamps reflecting on the river at dusk make it feel as if you've stepped into an anime. It's a must-visit winter wonderland in Japan! 【Zao Chuo Ropeway for Snow Scenery】 Since it's impossible to take the ropeway up the mountain during a blizzard, the Zao Chuo Ropeway is the core transportation method to Zao Onsen Ski Resort, a famous ski resort in the Tohoku region of Japan. It not only takes you directly to the mountaintop but also allows you to enjoy a 360-degree view of the magnificent snow scenery from above. 【Ouchi-juku】 Ancient Japanese architecture and modern lifestyles converge here. Traditional teahouses, old eaves, and the occasional modern ice cream sign all exude a sense of warmth and familiarity. Explore the atmosphere where ancient and modern blend, and experience a wonderful sense of temporal dislocation.
