About

Ginzan Onsen is widely regarded as one of Japan's most beautiful hot spring villages — a short row of wooden Taisho-era buildings lining a narrow mountain stream, their facades glowing with paper lanterns after dusk. Fujiya is the village's most celebrated inn, a three-story 1913 building designed by Kengo Kuma that blends historic architecture with refined modern interiors. The ryokan's position directly on the Ginzan River means guests can hear the rushing water from their rooms. Baths draw from Ginzan's sodium bicarbonate springs, known for beautifully soft skin-smoothing properties. The surrounding Yamagata mountains offer exceptional snowfall in winter, making Ginzan one of Japan's premier snow country ryokan destinations alongside Niigata's Echigo-Yuzawa.
