Ginzan Onsen is a town on a silver mine with many hot springs in Yamagata prefecture.
It has an old world atmosphere with the traditional inns by the river which make a scene of Japanese resorts of about 100 years ago.
Ginzan Onsen is pleasant throughout a year.
You can enjoy strolling down the rural street in long summer days and in winters all the buildings look more magical coated with glimmering snow.
