šøš®āØļø Ginzan Onsen Ryokan Recommendations āØļøš®šø
Ginzan Onsen street is lined with thirteen hot spring ryokans, all of which are three to four-story wooden structures nestled close together. Soaking in the hot springs while enjoying the night view š is simply delightful~ š Here are the top 5 ryokans that Sakura personally checked out and highly recommends: 1ļøā£ Fujiya š® Decorated with distinctive features and on the pricier side šø, designed by renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma šæ. The use of wood, bamboo š, stone, and glass elements gives a simple yet strong Japanese style. With only 8 rooms, they offer the most diverse and unique hot springs, including 'Stone Bath', 'Semi-Open-Air Bath', 'Underground Bath', 'Cypress Bath', and 'Bamboo Bath', all private and highly private š, perfect for those seeking privacy. 2ļøā£ Notoya š® As popular as Fujiya, this ryokan is reminiscent of Yubaba's oil house from Spirited Away. It has 15 rooms with 'Main Bath', 'Open-Air Bath', 'Panoramic Bath', and 'Cave Bath'. The 'Panoramic Bath' offers a view of the Shirakawa Falls ā²ļø, of course, the price š“ is on the higher side. 3ļøā£ Takimi-kan š® With an excellent location and high floors, it offers a panoramic view of the hot spring street and the mountain waterfall. Their signature is the panoramic open-air large bath āØļø, which leaves you feeling refreshed after a soak! The soba lunch šµ they provide deserves a hundred thumbs up!!! 4ļøā£ Koseki-ya Bekkan š® Offers great value š and is a very typical example of traditional Japanese style. Although the rooms are not particularly large, they have everything you need! The hygiene and environment are also up to par, and the view from the window is fantastic š. 5ļøā£ Ginsan-So š® Spacious ⨠with many rooms. Located at the entrance of the hot spring street. This ryokan has a lot of charm, and many people are drawn here because of the TV drama "Oshin". The rooms are divided into mountain-side and river-side (with views of the hot spring street and the Ginzan River). It's not recommended to stay on the mountain-side as there's not much to see. Although this is an antique traditional Japanese building, the hotel facilities are complete and very new. #SakuraTravelInternational #JapanAirportTransfers #JapanPrivateTransfers #JapaneseOnsenHotels #Onsen #JapaneseOnsen #GinzanOnsen #GinzanOnsenPrivateTransfers #SpiritedAwayBathhouse
