Because of the romantic style of the Taisho era, Ginzan Onsen became a popular tourist attraction, with tourists from Taiwan and Hong Kong flocking to the area. Apart from the restricted time for entering the mountain, there is only the time between transportation connections and the intermission time from 14:00 to 16:00 at the shops, when no food is provided. If you don't stay at Ginzan and just come to visit, you may not be able to appreciate its beauty. 📍Address: https://maps.app.goo.gl/1jVno7rrtmeeWgmm8 #JanuaryGoodPlaces2025

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 This is the reference site for Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away's oil house, and many tourists come here specifically for the sake of its reputation.

#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.

#Hot Spring With a history of more than 500 years, Ginzan Onsen has always been a popular tourist attraction in the suburbs of Sendai. Visiting in winter is a completely pure white world, super beautiful ❤️ From Sendai, you can take the JR to Yamagata and then take a bus. It is recommended to go to the free open-air "Wara Foot Bath" near the hot spring service center to soak your feet after getting off the bus to relieve the fatigue of the ride before heading to the hot spring area. The must-try specialty of Ginzan Onsen is the "Haikarasan curry bread", which is made with wheat produced in Yamagata Prefecture. This popular bread can be purchased at "Meiyouan" on the hot spring street. I also recommend the "Izu no Hana" soba noodles founded in 1952. It is recommended to dine on the second floor overlooking the hot spring street. I like the "Ishimori soba noodles" made with local buckwheat flour and cold water from Ginzan Hot Spring. It is cool and smooth. Enjoy the original taste simply ❤️ Finally, of course, you have to enjoy the local hot springs. Many hotels offer day trips to the hot springs, which is a "no-stay, just hot spring bathing" plan. Because we had to rush back to Yamagata, we took a bath in the "Platinum Bath" public bath on the hot spring street. The small triangular building and bath can accommodate 5 people bathing together. You can easily enjoy the ultimate relaxation for 500 yen. It is highly recommended 👍 🎯 Four-day flash trip to Northeast Japan (Sendai/Ginzan Onsen/Zao Juhyo) Day 1 Sendai City/House Purchase/Zenjiro Beef Tongue Set Meal Day 2 Sendai - Yamagata Yonezawa beef - Ginzan Onsen (JR Senzan Line to Yamadera Station, there are many trains) Day 3 Yamagata-Zao Onsen/Zao Juhyo (Direct bus from Yamagata to Zao, frequent departures) Day 4 Zao City - Sendai Airport (Direct bus to the airport, several flights a day) #Sendai Tourism #Yamagata Attractions #Ginzan Onsen Topic #Free Footbath #Izu No Hana #Japanese Hot Springs #Soba Noodles #Curry Bread #100 Ways to Travel

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!

💦Japan's Ginzan Hot Spring, stray into the fairy tale world of Spirited Away! Taking a bath and enjoying the snow is really beautiful! ～ The hot spring town built along the Ginzan River is built in a Western-style wooden multi-story hotel style. ～ 💦The center of Ginzan Onsen is a hot spring street, which is built on a river just like in Spirited Away. There are many traditional Japanese hot spring hotels and restaurants on both sides of the street. ~ Every winter, this area of ​​densely populated hot springs is covered with a thick layer of snow that lasts the entire winter, and the surrounding mountains are all covered in white snow, just like the name of the "Silver Mountain" hot spring. ～ 💦When night falls, the true charm of Ginzan Onsen is revealed. The streets lit by traditional Japanese lights are reflected in the river. Surrounded by the hot springs, the entire street is shrouded in mist, as if you are in a fairyland. ~ After visiting the bustling streets, you may feel a little chilly. Return to the hotel on the mountainside and soak in the steaming hot springs on the cliff. Ginzan Onsen is worth enjoying all year round, but if you have decided to go, winter is the best time. ～ 📍About accommodation: ✔️Japanese hot spring hotels generally offer one night and two meals. The hotel rooms on the hot spring town are usually divided into the mountain side and the river side. The river side (the side where you can see the hot spring town and Ginzan River) is generally about 1,000 to 2,000 yen more expensive than the mountain side. ～ ✔️However, although the name of the mountain side seems to suggest that you can see the mountains, in fact, you can't see anything. If you really come here, try to choose the river side. ～ 📍About transportation: ✔️If you take public transportation, you can take the Yamagata Shinkansen to Yamagata Station, then transfer to the Ou Main Line for 40 minutes to Oishida Station, take a bus for 15 minutes to Obanazawa Station and transfer to another bus for 40 minutes to finally reach Ginzan Onsen. ～ ✔️Or you can take the Tohoku Shinkansen to Sendai Station, take the express bus "Shinjo Line" for about 2 hours to Obanazawa Station and then transfer to a bus to Ginzan Onsen.

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. In fact, you can't stop taking photos of the entire hot spring street. It has its own unique features such as bright and clear during the day, blue screen in the evening, and lighting at night. The breathtakingly beautiful Ginzan Hot Spring is worth staying for a night. You can enjoy the romantic scenery during the day, sunset, and night. You can also take photos to avoid the crowds of tourists. #金山热#日本银山精品#Nōtōya #yamagata #Ohanazawa City #古世凯屋annex

Coupled with the beautiful scenery in front of you; it will really make people linger It is a beautiful memory of traveling If I have the chance, I will stay here for a night and enjoy a moment of tranquility♨️ #OverseasTravel #GoodFamilyDestinations #familytravel

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!

#QuintessaCampaign Ginzan Onsen in Obanazawa City, Yamagata Prefecture is a retro hot spring town filled with Taisho-era romance♨️ Wooden hot spring inns line both sides of the Ginzan River, and at dusk the gas lamps are lit, creating a nostalgic atmosphere😆 It's now the season for cherries and other fruits in Yamagata.

Yamagata Prefecture Located in the eastern part of Obanazawa City, upstream of the Ginzan Reservoir. The Ginzan River flows through it, and three- and four-story wooden hotels built in the 20th century stand side by side under gas lamps. In the 16th century, the silver mine of Nobizawa Silver Mine, one of the three largest silver mines in Japan, was discovered, and it developed as a mining town in the Edo period (1603-1867). The milky white spring water mixed with tiny waves warms the body from the inside out. There are two shared baths here, "Ginyu" and "Oyu", and there are also free foot baths. There is a nationally designated historic site called the Silver Mine Cave nearby, which commemorates the prosperity of the silver mine. You can walk around the cave to visit. #TravelCoolExperience#FamilyOuting#Hiking#GoodPlaces for Parents and Children

Ginzan Hot Spring has always been one of the places I want to visit the most. It is the scene of Miyazaki Hayao's anime Kami Hidden Shoujo. Two days and one night to visit Yinshan Hot Spring. We will stay at Yinshan Villa tonight. It only takes 5 minutes to walk to the hot spring street. The private dining room for dinner and breakfast has a wide variety of food. It is spacious and comfortable and has a stream view. Enjoy the food while enjoying the scenery😍 The boss is very considerate. During the snow season, the hotel also provides small blankets to cover water shoes that can be borrowed for going out. #PARENT-CHILD GOOD PLACE#OVERSEAS TRAVEL#I’m so hooked#Resident writer#arrive at the hotel
