Ginzan Onsen in Yamagata Prefecture: A Bucket List Experience

A snow-covered town A snowy mountain lodge Step into the enchanting world of Spirited Away This is one of my bucket list items 📝 I still remember refreshing the webpage every day, waiting for an available room at Notoya Ryokan. When I finally managed to book, I even sent several emails to confirm the reservation. Upon arrival, I couldn’t stop saying, 'Wow, it’s truly beautiful!' This was the phrase I repeated the most during my stay at Ginzan Onsen. Was it worth it? I think it was absolutely worth it—whether in terms of price, experience, or service. 📍 Address: Notoya Ryokan 💰 Price: 22,000 yen per person (includes a delicious Japanese dinner and breakfast) 🚉 Access: Get off at Oishida Station (Transportation to the ryokan can be arranged by communicating with them)
