hi,
I have itinerary below for 5 days JR EAST PAss: Is it workable? I'm interested in onsens and winter festivals and winter lights .
DAy 1 JAn 31 2026 - Tokyo to Fukushima/ Yamagata
DAy2 Feb1 --------- Yamagata Ginzan Onsen
DAy3 Feb2 ...................Yamagata/Akita
DAy 4 FEB 3 ..............Akita/ Tokyo
DAy 5....Feb4...............Tokyo to NArita Airport
Thanks!
Hi there,
Yes, this is all very doable, as it is all within the JR East area with direct connections available.
You could even book a hotel in Sendai or Fukushima and do day trips each day.
Kind regards,
Daniel
Thanks a lot!!
Thats so much help in finalizing my itinerary :) Now, I can go nx steps reserving my accomodations ...
By the way, Is there any other onsen/ beginners snow park town - other than Ginzan Onsen- I can visit with above route?
If you're looking to combine winter sports with Onsen, then Ginzen is likely your best bet in the area.
For more inspiration, I'd have a look at snowjapan.com
Hope this helps,
Daniel
