Ginzan Onsen Japanese Inn & Winter Village Experience | Notoya Ryokan ★ ONLY in JAPAN

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 พ.ค. 2024
  • Ginzan Onsen Hot Spring Village in winter - with the snow falling - may be the most magical sight in Japan, especially at night. It has become one of Japan's most popular hot springs and the Ryokan, Traditional Japanese Inns lining the Ginzan River are all top notch accommodations with Kaiseki dinner course and breakfast. WIth the snow falling, we'll first stay at Kozankaku's riverside room, visit the nearby Shirogane-yu public bath. We'll end with 2 nights at Notoya Ryokan, welcoming guests since it opened in 1925. It looks like a scene from a Ghibli-film after dark.
    HISTORY of Ginzan Onsen ♨️
    Ginzan was originally a silver mine in the 16th century until the silver was mined out. It changed to a hot spring town in the 17th century, hidden in the mountains, a long one-day walk from Obanazawa. In 1913, a flood destroyed the town but with local investment, they quickly rebuilt into the village we know today. It has maintained it's Taisho era feel with gas lamps and old wooden architecture, foot bridges crossing all along the Ginzan River.

    So wait, you took Kanae & Leo in 2022 and forgot me? Honestly, this is a huge oversight! I haven't been there since 2020 when I live streamed walking through the town.

      Oh right, I remember that episode in 2020 with Kanae! th-cam.com/video/SGWOhiaEKa0/w-d-xo.html Yeah, sorry about that, snuck away this year - no live streaming at Ginzan. Hey, I like your 8K releases. Perhaps you have some footage you can show walking the town at night or something?

    John, you are by far one of my favorite YoutTubers, you look so happy reporting on things in Japan that many of us may never get the chance to experience ourselves, but it's great to see through your lens. Please keep up the great work, your content is by far some of the most entertaining as well as educational!

    Always a treat to see lovely Kanae and sweet Leo. I thought this place looked magical but then you showed it at night that just made it even more so. I love that it hasn't changed the old world look. That makes it so much more interesting. Would love to go there someday. Thanks for the tour of this wonderful place.😊

    You've got the essence of cinematography in your presentations/delivery, that I believe has been diminishing in the United States. Japan is lucky to have your skills and creativity! Thanks for sharing. 🍱🍣🥢🍻

    I loved my visit in Summer but the onsen town truly looks magical with snow. Defintely need another trip there. Enjoyed eating tofu by the river, curry bread at the end of the town & soba ice cream 🤤
    And the highlight for me was a smiley Little Leo having his first covered toes Ashiyu 🤣
