Want to take a trip back in time? 🕰️✨ Well, you can at Ginzan Onsen, nestled in the mountains of rural Yamagata Prefecture. Founded on a former silver mine, the peaceful town offers visitors a place to slow down, relax and enjoy a slice of Japan’s history first-hand at one of the many traditional Japanese inns boasting natural onsen galore.
The wooden inns that line the Ginzan River blend in seamlessly with the mountainous backdrop throughout the seasons, offering traditional aesthetics of Japan’s Taisho Period (1912-1926). In winter, the gaslit lamps bring warmth to the snow-covered town evoking a winter wonderland of times gone by. 🥰
