2 Day Tour to Ginzan Onsen
Ginzan Onsen (lit. "Silver Mountain Hot Spring") is a secluded hot spring town nestled in the mountains of Yamagata Prefecture. The area originally developed around a silver mine; however, these days it is better known as one of Japan's prettiest onsen towns with historic ryokan lined up along the river.
Day 1: From Haneda or Narita go to Yamagata by Shinkansen
Day 2: Ginzan Onsen
Two public baths (300-500 yen) and a foot bath (free of charge) can be found around the town center. One of the public baths, the Shiroganeyu, was also designed by Kuma Kengo. Further available is the Omokageyu, a public bath for private use (2000 yen per 50 minutes). In addition, many of the town's ryokan open their baths to non-staying guests during the daytime for typically 300 to 1500 yen. Most feature historic indoor baths.
