Kosekiya Bekkan

This inn has a Taisho-era romantic feel and feels a bit old. It is registered as a tangible cultural property, so I would not recommend it to those who want a nice and clean inn. Although it is old, it is clean and the food is delicious. You will be satisfied with the service, such as free drinks including alcohol during your stay. (Alcohol is available until 10pm) It is a wooden building, so please be careful as sounds from neighboring rooms can easily echo. The hot spring is small but clean, and you can enjoy the hot spring water 100% natural hot spring.

It is said that the reason Ginzan Onsen is so popular in Japan is the atmosphere of "Taisho Romanticism" that remains in its streets and architecture. In that respect, Kosekiya Bekkan is one of the lodgings we would recommend to those visiting Ginzan Onsen for the first time. Not only the exterior, but the interior is also retro in every way, making it very photogenic and sure to leave a lasting memory. This lodging has two indoor baths, but guests can also use the baths at the sister lodging, Ginzansou.

Ryokan (Japanese inn) treasures the atmosphere of Taisho-era romance and has kept its wooden structure intact. Therefore, footsteps and other sounds echo, but we recommend it to those who don't mind that. The food is a Japanese meal made with seasonal ingredients. The food is gently seasoned and warm. You can also enjoy Yamagata Kuroge Wagyu beef. All rooms are Japanese-style. The toilets are separate and shared, but there are many of them so you shouldn't have any problems. Free Wi-Fi is also available, and there is a shuttle service to the station (reservations are required).

Because it is a small inn, you can enjoy traditional Japanese architecture. First of all, choosing a room is fun. You can choose from the rooms on the river side where you can feel the four seasons, or the quiet and cozy mountain side, both of which have spacious layouts where you can relax and unwind. The highlight of the river side is the view of the gas lamps that are typical of Ginzan Onsen. The mountain side rooms have a different view, but I personally recommend the tranquility of these rooms, where the sound of the river is farther away. The toilets in the regular guest rooms are outside the room, so if this bothers you, consider upgrade. The renovated rooms on the top floor have an interior that seems to encapsulate Taisho-era romance even more, and the corridors leading up to them also have a nice atmosphere.

This is a retro Ryokan (Japanese inn) with a Taisho-era romantic feel. The stained glass used for the partitions in the large public bath and dining area is still intact.

The waitresses bow deeply to see you off as you exit the entrance.

In addition, the accommodation plan with meals that make use of Tohoku specialties and ingredients unique to Yamagata Prefecture is also popular, and we recommend the plan with dinner that allows you to enjoy Obanazawa beef to your heart's content.

Located almost in the center of the hot spring town, the four-story wooden building is one of the most iconic structures in Ginzan Onsen. The tasteful guest rooms are on the river side facing the hot spring town, and on the mountain side, with two adjacent rooms, so they are spacious.
