Ginzan Onsen, Yamagata, Japan

This is a small, ancient onsen village located in Yamagata Prefecture. When winter arrives, the entire village is blanketed in pure white snow, transforming it into a real-life scene straight out of a Japanese novel. 🏔️ Both sides of the streets are lined with century-old wooden ryokans, with a stream flowing through the center of the village. The gentle sound of water and the steam from the onsen floating in the air create a serene, warm, and incredibly romantic atmosphere. ❤️ In the evening, when the orange glow of street lanterns reflects off the snow, the view is so breathtaking that you'll wish you could freeze time in that moment. If you ever get the chance, you must experience it for yourself. Then you'll understand why "Ginzan Onsen" is known as "Japan's dream onsen village." 🏮🕯️
