Tucked away in the scenic mountains of Yamagata Prefecture, Ginzan Onsen Street exudes an atmosphere of timeless charm and tranquility. As the family strolled along the cobblestone streets flanked by traditional ryokans and wooden buildings illuminated by the soft glow of lanterns, they were transported to a bygone era of old-world elegance and hospitality. The soothing sound of rushing water from the nearby river added to the ambiance, creating a sense of serenity that enveloped them like a warm embrace.
Looking ahead, the family dreams of embarking on a cultural immersion journey through the historic towns of Kyoto, Japan.

Top Japan Night Poster Scenes, Ginzan Onsen
If you have never been to this onsen town, you will be totally never imagined how beautiful is the night scenery in this Japan old onsen town. The small whole town is surrounded 3 sides by the snow mountains that it seems that the times wind back to the Edo period when walk into this fairyland. It is even better when the night falls with the snow falling from the sky. All the photos taken like the poster cards.
Most of the onsen inns are more than a century ago. You must pre-book the onsen rooms 6-months ahead of the trip if you want to stay within the area. Alternatively, you can stay at Tendo area and take the night tour bus to the town to enjoy the beautiful night views. It is a day-tour operating every night in the winter season.
Definitely, it is a must-see night attraction if you are planning to go to Yamagata or Fukushima areas for travel.
