Yamagata Prefecture is filled with some of the best onsen, or hot spring baths in Japan and is conveniently connected to Tokyo via bullet train. Ginzan Onsen is one of the most popular onsen towns not only in Yamagata but also in the country, known for its epically nostalgic feel during the winter months and its beautiful hiking trails and waterfall during more temperate weather.
All the way up in Obanazawa City, it is located in the rustic Tohoku region to the north of Tokyo. Getting to these local spots takes a bit of extra effort, but the journey itself is truly a trip in its own right.
Ginzan is a peaceful village made for rest and relaxation. The mountain village’s highlight is definitely the scenery, including the Ginzan River flowing through the town. This hot spring haven is also one of GaijinPot Travel’s Top 15 Hot Spring Destinations for Winter, but it’s quaint in any season.
