Ginzan
A fairytale hot spring village hidden in the mountains of Yamagata Prefecture, where Taisho-era wooden ryokans line both banks of the Ginzan River, illuminated by gas lamps at dusk. Originally built around a 15th-century silver mine, this tiny town of just 13 inns is one of Japans most photogenic destinations.
