If you want to go to onsen in a snowy area, I recommend Ginzan Onsen in Yamagata Prefecture. Ginzan Onsen is a retro hot spring town that is also known as the setting for the Japanese TV drama “Oshin.” On both sides of the Ginzan River, which is a branch of the Mogami River, there are wooden ryokans built about 100 years ago. You will surely be able to time slip into the old Japanese world!
