Yamadera and Ginzan Onsen Full Day Scenic Journey from Sendai

10 hours

Challenging

This tour offers a rare blend of cultural depth, scenic beauty, and gentle pacing, making for a memorable full-day journey from Sendai. At Yamadera, the mountain temple’s dramatic setting offers both rich history and natural beauty. Guests preferring a more relaxed option can enjoy the peaceful temple surroundings at the base. A local lunch near the temple provides a taste of Yamagata’s culinary traditions. In the afternoon, stroll through the nostalgic townscape of Ginzan Onsen, where early 20th-century Japan still lingers in its wooden inns and riverside charm. Traveling by private vehicle allows for flexibility and comfort, connecting iconic sights with quieter, local moments.
Please note: the temple approach includes many steps. Those with heart conditions or back concerns may choose to explore the base area instead.
