Ginzan Onsen Japanese Inn & Winter Village Experience | Notoya Ryokan ★ ONLY in JAPAN

Ойын-сауық

Ginzan Onsen Hot Spring Village in winter - with the snow falling - may be the most magical sight in Japan, especially at night. It has become one of Japan's most popular hot springs and the Ryokan, Traditional Japanese Inns lining the Ginzan River are all top notch accommodations with Kaiseki dinner course and breakfast. WIth the snow falling, we'll first stay at Kozankaku's riverside room, visit the nearby Shirogane-yu public bath. We'll end with 2 nights at Notoya Ryokan, welcoming guests since it opened in 1925. It looks like a scene from a Ghibli-film after dark.
HISTORY of Ginzan Onsen ♨️
Ginzan was originally a silver mine in the 16th century until the silver was mined out. It changed to a hot spring town in the 17th century, hidden in the mountains, a long one-day walk from Obanazawa. In 1913, a flood destroyed the town but with local investment, they quickly rebuilt into the village we know today. It has maintained it's Taisho era feel with gas lamps and old wooden architecture, foot bridges crossing all along the Ginzan River.

I loved my visit in Summer but the onsen town truly looks magical with snow. Defintely need another trip there. Enjoyed eating tofu by the river, curry bread at the end of the town & soba ice cream 🤤 And the highlight for me was a smiley Little Leo having his first covered toes Ashiyu 🤣
