*This is a hot spring inn located in Ginzan Onsen, one of the hot spring areas you should visit at least once. *It is located on a hill a little away from the hot spring town, and has the largest open-air bath in Ginzan Onsen. It was very open and comfortable. *The inn itself has been modernized and is very beautiful. Recommended for those who want to enjoy the Taisho romantic townscape but want a well-equipped inn.

Ginzan Onsen is a place I've always wanted to stay at♨️ Because it's a popular winter tourist destination, I made the reservation in the fall of September🌾 My impression: It was a view I'm glad I got to see in my life😊✨ The view of the hot spring inn, with its Taisho-era romantic atmosphere, and the rising steam. It was like I'd traveled back in time. *This photo was taken at the beginning of December. It snowed the next day, and the snowy scenery of Tohoku was a spectacular sight☃️ #t2203 #HotSpring

A snow-covered town A snowy mountain lodge Step into the enchanting world of Spirited Away This is one of my bucket list items 📝 I still remember refreshing the webpage every day, waiting for an available room at Notoya Ryokan. When I finally managed to book, I even sent several emails to confirm the reservation. Upon arrival, I couldn’t stop saying, 'Wow, it’s truly beautiful!' This was the phrase I repeated the most during my stay at Ginzan Onsen. Was it worth it? I think it was absolutely worth it—whether in terms of price, experience, or service. 📍 Address: Notoya Ryokan 💰 Price: 22,000 yen per person (includes a delicious Japanese dinner and breakfast) 🚉 Access: Get off at Oishida Station (Transportation to the ryokan can be arranged by communicating with them)
