Overview
Seven days through Tohoku's quieter side and Tokyo's loudest corners. Ginzan Onsen's lantern-lit streets, a cable car up Mount Zao, a bay cruise around Matsushima's pine islands, then back to Shibuya crossing and Ginza. Gyoza in Tochigi, imoni hotpot in Yamagata, one night at a highland resort in Nasu.
Highlights
Why you'll love this trip
- Slurp imoni pot in Yamagata, a local hotpot where taro, beef, and miso simmer in a cauldron older than the recipe.
- Walk Ginzan Onsen's snowy street at dusk, when the gas lamps flicker on and the whole town turns into Spirited Away.
- Cruise Matsushima Bay past 260 pine-covered islands. The boat weaves through them like a slow-motion slalom.
- Sleep at a highland resort in Nasu where the lobby has a fireplace and the teddy bear museum next door is oddly sincere.
- Ride Mount Zao's ropeway to the crater lake, frozen white in winter, alien-green in summer, sulfur smell either way.
