Ginzan Onsen travel guides

9 articles

Ginzan Onsen is Japan's most photogenic hot spring street — Taisho-era wooden ryokan facing each other across a narrow river, gas lamps flickering at dusk, and deep snow completing the scene in winter. Tucked into the Yamagata mountains on the site of an old silver mine, it's small, romantic, and wildly popular. These guides cover ryokan stays, day visit logistics, and winter access.
