Featured in 2024 Global 50 - Hot SpringsHighlights: Ginzan Onsen is located in Obanazawa City, Yamagata Prefecture, and was named after the discovery of silver mines more than 500 years ago. The winter here is rich in snowfall, and the century-old wooden houses on the hot spring street are wrapped in silver, like a dream, as if time has stood still. The clear water of Yinshan River flows through it with hot air, and the atmosphere is quiet, like a paradise, and there is also an oil house known as the real version of "Spirited Away".Show Less - 5.04.8/516 reviewsFrom2655.38

Take the box cable car to the mountain at the Tibetan King Hawthorn Station in the flatland, change the train at the Shubing Plateau Station, and finally arrive at the Dizang Peak Station. You can see a large area of tree ice coming on you as soon as you leave the station!"Yamagata8.5 km from downtownFeatured in 2024 Global 50 - Ski ResortsHighlights: Zao Onsen Ski Resort is located in Zao Onsen Chemical Factory in Yamagata Prefecture.
