It's interesting comparing this video to Kuga's Travel and his magical wander through the snow covered Ghibli town set to soft piano music. Whereas here we have the real experience of getting there; children crying on the train, standing in the cold waiting for the next bus, finishing the journey in essentially somebody's van. It reminds you that travel isn't always glamorous or idealized. But the destination is so worth the experience.

After watching, I felt depressed. Such a beautiful plc.. best is to stay over for 2 nights, if budget permits. Otherwise, it feels like no food, no plc to sit , food sold out, no where to hang out.. A pitiful state esp when snow is heavy.

The fact that every other thing goes wrong on this trip makes it incredibly relatable. Nevertheless this place is definitely a bucket list location for me.

Did anyone else feel a deep sense of relief when he managed to board the bus home? At some point I realised I was watching this channel’s equivalent of a disaster movie and was holding my breath until the end.

Same here! I was already getting nervous when he spent an hour waiting for a table in the cafe, and then seeing that group at the bus stop I thought "oh no he's gonna have to watch the bus leave again"... Certainly a big sigh of relief when he got on it 🤣

I've lived in Japan for 19 years now and traveled to many places. Some places like this (Gero) is that you go there and then there is nothing to do. Japanese like the travel and then just relax in the hot spring. Their work is usually very stressful and so when they travel they just want to some place beautiful....and then simply relax. Sorry, but to me that is very boring. (To make my Gero trip exciting we decided to cross on the railroad bridge just after a train had gone through. About half way across we heard another train whistle. Made it across with a couple of minutes to spare but sure added more excitement...and, yeah, never try doing that!) I like hiking and have found some really good places to go for that. (Nagano, Kurobe, 5 Color Lakes in Fukushima just to name a few).

This was such beautiful scenery, all the frustration you encountered added to reality of vacations when things can go wrong. Thank you for showing us magical snow landscape and waterfall, hot steams coming off the water is so relaxing to watch.

I laughed at "I cry" when you didn't make it onto the bus, and the trip seemed to go slowly but steadily downhill from then on. Which makes the video even more interesting 🤣 Thanks for the upload, hope your next trip to Ginzan will be luckier. Keep up the good work!

I'm so impressed that despite one disappointment and frustration after another, he managed to stay calm and end each experience with a thank you. I need to do more of that.

I just wanna thank you for sharing this experience with us! It was obviously far from perfect, but I think the chaos of it captivated me even more. I've had my fair share of hectic trips, and even though everything seemed to go wrong, they gave me some of my most treasured memories. Your video reminded me of that. So, thank you for sharing! The Village is breathtaking and your sense of humor is an absolute delight that complemented this experience perfectly!

I like that you actually show the saddd stuff, very genuine and relatable.... I've also binge watched all your videos and I noticed you have a steady hand, especially when your in a bumpy vehicle- film student? Can't wait to see more!

THAT IS SO MUCH SNOW! We want to visit Japan so badly, and can't decide if it is prettier to visit when there is a beautiful covering of snow, or when the cherry blossoms are blooming. Each season looks so beautiful in it's own right. Thanks so much for taking us along, looking forward to seeing more adventures! 😊 ❄️

Glad to have found this channel recently bc Japan has an unexpected special place in my childhood & soul that just brings me joy 😄

Such a beautiful village..And the snow falling makes it so magical. I enjoyed this video and learning a bit about the village history. Thank you for sharing. Look forward for your next video..🙂

What a beautiful place ! Such an exciting adventure for one whole day .

I have never commented on your video, but I want to say I love your video very much.💕🇧🇩

Here in my country it's 1:35 am but let's watch this amazing video

The buildings are beautiful and I enjoy the backdrop of the tall trees and snow covering everything.

The captions were priceless; all I could think of is "must make that last bus".

My favourite country japan

Even in deep snow japan is so beautiful 🥺

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has unexpected troubles every time I travel! And yet that view makes me want to cry. What a truly special and beautiful place.

One of the funniest travel videos I've ever watched. 😂😅 It is a great way to relax, as an armchair traveller, with this person's sense of humour.

私も11月末に車で行って来ましたよ。永澤栄八旅館に一泊しました。(旅館に宿泊していたので防寒着や雨具や足湯タオル等が無料で貸して頂けました) 晩秋の銀山温泉も風情があって素適でしたが、雪の銀山温泉はやっぱり良いですね。 雪が降ると一気に「おしん」の舞台らしい世界になるんですね。 電車やバスの旅も良いですね。

かねてから行きたいと思ってる場所、何回みてもいいなぁ〜

If you ever taught a history class, it'd be the most fun class ever. Your humor is epic lol

数年前に銀山温泉に2泊3日で行った事があります。 しかも1番奥にある、能登屋に泊まりました。 泊まったのが2月でしたが、雪に覆われて居て、夜の銀山温泉は幻想的だったのを覚えて居ます。 アクセスは大宮駅から山形新幹線で大石田まで行ってそこから能登屋のバスで行きました。 しかも次の年にも同じ能登屋に2泊3日で泊まりました。 楽しかったです。

Спасибо за видео! Зимой лучше туда не ездить - так показал ваш опыт. Слишком много народа. Хорошо, что вы успели на обратный автобус! 👍

Hermoso conocer el interior de Japón. Gracias por grabar y compartir

What a amazingly impeccable blended cultures between tradition and hitec transport! Thank you and I'm speechless..

Fantastic video! Thank you for your approach to simply having us explore with you with no voice over. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

いいところですね😃行ってみたいです。

What a beautiful town. The foot bath looked so relaxing! I love onsens so much! This will be my next destination when visiting Japan!

We visited this place a few years ago - it was one of the most memorable trips for us. Thanks for sharing this video!

Have tried onsen in Beppu and in Odaiba, but I’ve never seen one as magnificent as this. Thank you for filming this.

I'm one of your newest subscribers and really enjoy watching your travels!!!

Wow, what a beautiful place, especially at night! Doesn't seem like an ideal place to visit in winter unless you have a hotel room or at least some waterproof clothes and shoes! I guess it might be doable if you are in the area the day before so you can get to the village early in the day before everything sells out. It's not great you had so many setbacks, but the footage you got seemed to be worth it! Plus that hot chocolate seemed delicious (and it's a drink, like coffee but just chocolate instead of coffee beans, so it should be liquidy) so it's not a total loss. Thanks for filming!

Oww I really miss this place .. i was there on january 2020 (before pandemic changed everything 😭😭) Ginzan onsen is one of BEST PLACE in Japan.. hopefully you’re can take that moment someday.. stay healthy everyone ❤️❤️

This channel comes in handy while learning about the transport culture of Japan. Ginzan Onsen is really a good tourist space and it seems soothing in winter. Please let us know about the stay option we have in the town. The place is on the bucket list.

I really want to visit this place so bad!!

Thanks Ginzan , i' ll be back ......but only in summer 😆
