Ginzan Onsen

Ginan Onsen, Unwind, relax and step back in time
Founded on the site of a former silver mine in rural Yamagata, Ginzan Onsen Hot Spring caters to discerning guests with a taste for old-world atmosphere. This classic hot spring town lined with traditional wooden architecture is full of photogenic nostalgia.

Travel back in time to classical Japan in Ginzan Onsen! The town is home to wooden hot spring inns lining each side of the Ginzan River and resonates with nostalgic beauty when illuminated at night by gas street lamps. In winter, the town really comes to life, the night view of the town blanketed in snow beneath the warm streetlights is particularly photogenic.

The area around Ginzan has lush scenery, including Shirogane Falls, a 22-meter-high waterfall. While hiking you can also see mountain shrines and koi fish in the river. Near Omokage Park is a cave that was part of the silver mine. You can go inside and relive the history of the area. Please note that the path not walkable in winter or early spring due to snow.
