Ep4. Ginzan Onsen (Ginzanso) Breakfast • Spirited away town • Travel to Yamagata • Cafe • Matsuya

Date 7 Feb
Hi Friends 👋 ,
How are you? This is our day 4 of Japan winter holiday.
We stayed at Ginzanso in Ginzan onsen town. The ryokan provided breakfast and dinner for all guests. So in our day 4, we had a super duper luxurious ryokan breakfast. We also tried the indoor and out onsen. You have to try this when you are at Ginzan Onsen. 🥹
Btw, i feel like i am in Spirited away movie.
After breakfast, we took bath and a lot of photo around the ryokan.
The ryokan provide shuttle bus to Oishida station which makes our stay so convenient. This is the ryokan we definitely want to return back. 🤞
At Yamagata, we visited a cafe and bought a few goodies. The best are moonin chocolate and mister donuts 😆
To keep the vlog short and sweet, the breakfast will be in my next vlog. Stay tune guys. See you in the next video!
How to go to Ginzan Onsen from Yamagata:
1. Take train to Oisida Station
2. From Oisida Station take bus to Ginzan Onsen (public bus or hotel/ryokan bus)
Only a few buses daily, so check the timing before you go or you might need to take taxi.
Cheers,
Kath

How did you book Ginzanso?

We actually only managed to book it 5 days before our departure from Singapore!
We only started looking at Ginzan ryokans 1 month before our trip and it was too late by then, all ryokans fully booked. But just check daily, once in the morning, afternoon, and evening… usually random slots will be released. We were fortunate a slot opened up at Ginzanso in our Yamagata leg.
