Ginzan [Hot Springs] - Ginzan

Japanese: 銀山[温泉] - ぎんざん

This hot spring is located in Ginzanshinhata, Obanazawa City, Yamagata Prefecture. In the mountain valley east of Obanazawa City, on both banks of the Ginzan River, inns reminiscent of Western-style buildings from the Taisho period stand side by side, retaining the atmosphere of a hot spring resort. It is said to have been discovered by miners from the Nobezawa (Nobezawa) Silver Mine, which flourished during the Keicho and Kanei eras (1596-1644). The spring contains salt and sulfur, and the temperature is 55-63°C. Nearby are Omokageen Garden, the remains of the silver mine, Shiragin Falls, and the Ginzan Ski Resort. There is a bus service from Shinjo Station or Oishida Station on the Ou Main Line, with a transfer at Obanazawa. [Nakagawa Shigeru]
