  • I want to stay at Ginzan Onsen, the setting for the TV drama "Oshin"

Chugoku friend saw the old TV drama "Oshin" and wants to stay at Ryokan (Japanese inn) in Ginzan Onsen, where the drama was set. Can you recommend some famous Ryokan (Japanese inn) that are recommended for beginners, or popular Ryokan (Japanese inn) that are only known to a few people? I would prefer Ryokan (Japanese inn) that offers meals such as Japanese food.

Kosekiya Special

417 Ginzan Shinhata, Obanazawa-shi

  • A retro wooden Japanese-style building worth staying in

  • 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.

  • The open-air bath where you can enjoy the snowy scenery is the best

  • Many people may think of Ginzan Onsen as a place for snowy scenery, so I would like to introduce this inn that is recommended for winter. The open-air bath here is wonderful in any season, but I think it is especially Breathtaking view in winter. The scenery is surrounded by mountains, and in the cold season, snow piles up beautifully. The lights, which look like bamboo crafts, are placed around the bath, which gives it a very tasteful feel. If you don't like the cold, you can also view the mountains from the indoor bath. The food is a sophisticated kaiseki meal, which allows you to fully enjoy seasonal ingredients from Yamagata. If you don't have any allergies, I would also recommend trying the inn's proud handmade soba noodles.

Fujiya Inn

443 Shinpata, Ginzan, Obanazawa-shi

  • A minimalist and sophisticated Japanese modern inn

  • Both the exterior and interior are very beautiful, and the inn has an extraordinary feel. The famous Japanese architect Kengo Kuma was involved in the design. Although it has a very modern impression, the background behind the renovation of this nearly 100-year-old Ryokan (Japanese inn) is also interesting, as it reuses usable wood. Bamboo, stained glass, washi paper... I think the main attraction is the conceptual architecture, which is rarely seen in other inns.
