#japantrip Nestled in the tranquil mountains of Yamagata Prefecture, Japan, Ginzan Onsen is a picturesque hot spring town renowned for its charming Taisho-era architecture, soothing thermal waters, and magical winter scenery. Once a bustling silver mining town, Ginzan Onsen has transformed into a peaceful retreat, offering visitors an authentic onsen (hot spring) experience. The town is lined with traditional wooden ryokan (Japanese inns), illuminated by gas lamps at night, creating a nostalgic and romantic ambiance. The Ginzan River flows gently through the center, adding to the town’s tranquil atmosphere. In winter, the snow-covered buildings and softly glowing lanterns create a fairy-tale-like setting that feels straight out of a storybook. Visitors can enjoy a soak in the natural hot spring baths, known for their healing and relaxing properties. Many ryokan offer both indoor and outdoor baths, allowing guests to unwind while taking in the breathtaking surroundings. In addition to the onsen experience, the town offers charming cafés and small local shops, where you can enjoy traditional Japanese sweets and local delicacies. Whether you’re strolling along the riverbank in a yukata (light cotton kimono) or gazing at the snow-covered town from an open-air bath, Ginzan Onsen promises an unforgettable experience filled with tranquility and old-world charm. It’s a perfect getaway for anyone seeking relaxation, history, and natural beauty.

Ginzan Onsen, an ancient hot spring village located in Yamagata, Japan. It is another place on the list that I really want to visit because of its beauty like being in a fairy tale, especially in winter when it is covered in snow, making this place look even more beautiful. This place is just a small village. You can travel there for a short time, but I recommend staying overnight because the atmosphere at night is really good. . .🚘To get here, you can take the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Oishida Station, which takes about 3 hours and then take a bus in front of the station to Ginzan Onsen. It takes another 40-45 minutes by bus. Be sure to check the round-trip bus schedule because there are few buses. . .#อีวะ #ginzanonsen

#Japan Attractions When you think of Yamagata Prefecture, you must think of Ginzan Onsen and Yamagata beef + Yonezawa beef in Chihiro. I have read many travel website introductions and have always wanted to go. After waiting for 3 years, the opportunity came and I finally went there earlier this year. Transportation to Ginzan Onsen is quite convenient, you can go back and forth from Tokyo on the same day; and many people choose to stay at Onsen Village/Yamagata Station for 1 night. I originally wanted to stay at Ginzan Hot Spring Inn, but due to the peak season, even if I check 2.5 months in advance, there is no room 😪, so it is strongly recommended that you must book a room at least 3 months in advance, especially the famous ones hotel. This time, my sister stayed in a hotel near JR Yamagata Station for 3 days and 2 nights. Stayed one night at the Yamagata Hotel, the 2nd day went to JR Mizawa a very famous Mizawa beef restaurant for early lunch, lunch set price is not very cheap, but the wagyu is very high quality, my sister ordered a sukiyaki, beef It melts in your mouth and is really tender. The charge for eating the same quality beef in Hong Kong should be at least twice as expensive! Eating a delicious and satisfying lunch in the box while looking at the charming snow scene outside the window, this is life☺️ After a hearty lunch, I was overjoyed and immediately took the JR to Oishida Station, and then changed the bus to the long-awaited Ginzan Onsen. Arriving at Oishida station, visually there were more than 40-50 people waiting for the bus, asked the solo girls in front, it turned out that these people had been waiting for at least an hour, because of the heavy snowstorm, the bus was off duty, even if there was a bus afterwards , there are only about 20 seats, many people waited for a long time but failed to get on the bus, and left when they couldn't wait. The little sister wanted to go to Silver Mountain, so she decided to brave the heavy snow ❄️ and stood at the open-air bus station and waited for 2.5 hours Tourists who know each other take a taxi to Ginzan Onsen together, the fare is about HK$100 per person. It takes about half an hour from Oishita Station to Ginzan. After getting off the taxi, you have to walk a small slope to reach the Ginzan hot spring area. There are not many people and you can take a lot of beautiful photos at will . Because I wanted to wait in the village for a while to take pictures of the night view before leaving, I wanted to find a coffee shop to rest, but many shops were closed at 4pm and the inn was not open to the public, so I could only sit in a small lounge. The day and night have their own characteristics. It is recommended that you have time permission to stay and take pictures of the night view. I was planning to take the last bus back to JR station at 6pm, but since many travelers left after taking the night view, there was a long queue at the bus station, more than 70/80 people, thinking I couldn't get on the last bus. Also can not catch JR, so the little sister immediately found someone to join the taxi, but the call station stated that 6 o'clock is the rush hour, the earliest to 8 o'clock to have a car 🙄 I want to be miserable, and to open the snow in the air blowing more 2 hours When... waiting until about 6:30, suddenly many passengers surrounded the three 10-seater cars parked at the bus station, it was to recruit passengers to the JR station, the driver could only speak Japanese and simple English, cold to death myself After ignoring the charges, I immediately got on the bus. Fortunately, it was charged with the rice meter. It was not overcharged. The average person did not need $100 HKD. I was really lucky. I was able to catch up with the 6:50 JR return to Yamagata😍 A warm reminder, be sure to pay attention to time management. If you miss a bus in Ginzan, you will also miss the JR, and you may waste an additional 1.2 hours waiting for the next bus. Of course, you don’t have to worry about this when you live in Ginzan, as many inns offer JR transfers. Private restaurant recommendations Yonezawa Dining - 5 minutes walk from JR Yonezawa Station Must-try Japanese beef lunch set (barbecue / sukiyaki / hot pot / steak are available), high quality, good value for money, remember to book in advance. 1 person accepts reservations, sincerely praise☺️ Restaurant Rating Food->👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Hygiene -> 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Price -> 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Service -> 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Location->👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Recommended -> 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 *Please do not be stingy, give me a like/subscribe, this is encouragement and support for my little sister, so that I am more motivated to share more travel experiences with you. #Little Girl Sees the World #Solo Trip #Japanese Food #Ginzan Onsen #Yizawa Beef #Wagyu Sukiyaki #a5 #Yamagata Prefecture #Chiyo Chihiro

Ginzan Onsen in northeastern Japan is probably the place that many people dream of visiting. The impression is that it is super romantic with heavy snow. Especially the super Japanese-style hotel is the bathhouse of the legendary Spirited Away Girl Yubaba. It is really super beautiful with the snow scene, but the snow scene is really hard to come by! We went there twice, once in summer and once in winter. We were expecting heavy snow but it was a pity that it was a warm winter! Different seasons have their own beauty. In fact, the entire hot spring street is very, very short and you can finish the tour very quickly. The roads nearby are small and it is difficult to park. Although I went there twice, I did not stay there and did not have the opportunity to take a bath there. The summer time I happened to take pictures in the evening when the color temperature was good. Unfortunately, the public bath was closed that day and the daytime bathing was only open until 2 o'clock, so I did not have the chance to take a bath here. So the part about hot springs and hotels is not clear either. But I believe that the street view at night must be more beautiful than during the day, and it will be even more beautiful when it snows!

It was called "Silver Mountain" because of the discovery of a silver mine. After the mine was closed, it became a hot spring resort. The whole street is a retro street scene from the Taisho era in Japan. Each wooden hotel has its own characteristics, either retro tiles or painted windows. The gas lights are lit at dusk and decorated with white snow. It really feels like traveling through time and space. You can take any photo. It’s so beautiful that you don’t need it. Just adjust the color a little and it’ll be Taisho romance💕 "Notoya", which became popular because of "Oshin" and "Kamigakure Shoujo", is a must-photo spot for tourists.

Transportation strategy: Charter a car to go there Must-visit attractions: Yinshan Hot Spring Recommended Hotel: Zao Takamiya Ruri Resort Hotel It happened to be snowing heavily this time when I went to Ginzan. Fortunately, I chartered a car to go there. Otherwise, it would have been really troublesome because if I took the Shinkansen from Tokyo, I still had to transfer to a bus to get to Ginzan Hot Spring. The road was covered with snow and there were snow walls along the road. In fact, the road is very narrow and difficult to walk, but the scenery is very beautiful. We were lucky to encounter a blizzard this time, so we had the opportunity to see the beautiful scenery. It seemed very beautiful to us, but for the locals, it was actually snowing. It's their problem!

Yubaba's Bathhouse from the film "Spirited Away" is absolutely one of the popular places in Yamagata. But I was taking photo with the waterfall. Am I special?

I have been to Japan's 20 hot spring towns, or I am obsessed with Yinshan Hot Springs. . Japan's most beautiful snow scene, really not in Hokkaido, but in the Yamagata Onsen in Yamagata Prefecture! There is a hotel in the "Spirited Away" Tang Yupo, where romance and dreams are second to none in Japan. This note, I will elaborate on the Raiders of Yinshan Hot Spring Travel. Full of dry goods! . 1Climate I dont think its meaningful to go to Yinshan Hot Spring in the summer, because the fairy tale street is actually 100 meters long, if its not silver, its quite ordinary. Generally, Yamagata Prefecture begins to snow in November. The snow cover is until the end of December. It is located in the northeast of Japan. At least until the end of February, there are snow scenes. You can arrange the itinerary according to this time period. . 2Transportation JR Oishida Station, located in Odaiba City, the nearest JR station to Yinshan Hot Spring. That is to say, whether you are starting from Tokyo or from the mountain, the terminal is here. Take Tokyo as an example. Find a nearby JR station and find the train time. It is located at JR Oishida Station, a 40-minute drive from the hot spring town of Yinshan. Two ways, one is to book the hotel's pick-up service (only for the store), someone will wait for you at the station; the other is direct bus, 720 yen per person; but the bus has timetables, shifts also Very few. Then I dont live in the hotel, can I just want to take a photo? Yes, but not recommended, the simplest reason, the last bus from the spa town is 18

I booked to go at 7pm that day, but I didn't arrive at 7pm. I arrived around 6pm. There were a lot of people there, but after a while, everyone left.

#August2024 #100Travelways Ginzan Onsen is a nostalgic place that makes you feel like you are walking into a time tunnel. It is full of nostalgic Japanese atmosphere and is the original model of the bathing scene in the movie "Spirited Away". It is also the location for the filming of the famous TV series "Oshin" The best time to take photos is on a snowy night, when the snow-covered streets and lights complement each other beautifully. In the summer, although there is no beauty like the snow scene, people who like to walk in the mountains and forests can take advantage of the cool weather and take a walk. There are many cafes, food spots, and souvenir shops within walking distance, making it a great place for a stroll. If you have time, you can rent Taisho-era costumes that were influenced by Western culture.

Ginzan Onsen (Japanese: 銀山温泉／ぎんざんおんせん Ginzan onsen) is a hot spring located in Obanazawa city, Yamagata Prefecture, and is well-known as the setting for the NHK TV drama 'Oshin'. The ryokans (Japanese inns) are distributed along both sides of the Ginzan River, and there are also public baths and footbaths available. The buildings and scenery of the hot spring town are protected by preservation laws, exuding an atmosphere of Taisho-era romance.

Ginzan Onsen is located in the heart of Ginzan Onsen in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan. It was discovered about 400 years ago during the mining of silver, and since then, it has been used as a long-term therapeutic hot spring with a long history. The spring water is milky white, with temperatures exceeding 55 degrees Celsius, and is said to be effective in relieving fatigue, soothing tension, and alleviating symptoms of cold hands and feet. ▫️ Suitable for a two-day, one-night happy journey, it's hard to book a hotel, so be sure to stay there for one night if you have the chance. If you're coming for photography, you'll need to catch the last bus at 6 pm, which is a bit tight on time. Driving on snowy mountain roads at night is also unsafe, so staying overnight is recommended. 📍 Yamagata Prefecture, Oishida Town, Ginzan ▫️ Transportation: From JR Oishida Station, take a shuttle bus to Ginzan Onsen Station, about a 40-minute ride. ❄️ The most famous 'Notoya Ryokan' was built in 1921 and has been registered as a Japanese national cultural property. The traditional and elegant atmosphere permeates the wooden four-story main building. The exterior of the bathhouse and the red bridge extending in front of the building have become dreamy photo spots for many tourists and photographers. In recent years, Ginzan Onsen Street has become even more famous for resembling the animated scenes in Spirited Away. 🏨 How to Book a Hotel Be sure to book your hotel in advance. Generally, booking about three months in advance is best. Last-minute bookings can be difficult. Search for Ginzan Onsen on Google, and many ryokans will appear. Choose according to your preferences. The most famous are Notoya and Fujiya, which are very hard to book. Attention ⚠️ The winter season at Ginzan Onsen lasts from mid-December to March of the following year, with the peak from early January to mid-February. Be sure to keep warm with scarves, gloves🧤, and snow boots👢. Try a foot bath or a day trip to the hot springs on the hot spring street, which is also very interesting. * The best time for a stroll on Ginzan Onsen Street is in the evening when the temperature drops at night, so bring warm clothing. * The Zao region has strong UV rays during the day, and the ground is mostly covered with white snow, so it's recommended to bring sunglasses.
