At the end of the hot spring street, you can see the waterfall when you take a bath, but only a little. The room price is not cheap, but the food and service are very substantial. The service staff Aoi-san is very cute and kind. It was a very comfortable day.

2024.10.6I went there for one night.[Transportation to the hotel]The main building of Takimikan is located a little further away from the main Ginzan Onsen area, making it convenient for those staying by car.I'm grateful that I can drive directly to the hotel, so I don't have to walk or carry heavy luggage.[Shuttle bus]🚌Once in the morning and twice in the afternoon by reservation.It seems that they are providing transportation between Oishida Station.The timing of the general bus bound for Ginzan Onsen from Shinkansen arrival and Oishida Station is not good, and there is also a waiting time for the bus.Also, the timing of the shuttle bus was inconsistent.I'm in trouble.If all goes well, it will take more than 2 hours from Yamagata.Because the waiting time may be longFor those leaving Yamagata in the afternoonThere's a lot of wasted waiting time.Please check Shinkansen and bus times in advance.This time, my timing wasn't right.[It's faster if you rent a car] 🚙If you want to rent a car, rent it at Yamagata Station.It takes about an hour to get to Ginzan, so I think that would be better.[Ginzan Onsen 🅿️ & Stroll]This is my first time at Ginzan Onsen.I couldn't imagine what the place was like, so what I learned from using it isGinzan Onsen Town cannot be reached by car.It's all walking.If you are walking around, you can park in the shared free parking lot 🅿️For those staying at a hotel in GinzanIn the hotel's private designated parking 🅿️It's a mechanism that has to be stopped.If the parking lot is far from the hotel, or you have to walk to the hotel with luggage, or if you are disabled, it can be quite a bit of a walk.There is a slope from the parking lot to Ginzan Onsen, so I think it will be difficult.Please contact the hotel for other uses.On that point, at Takimikan, where I stayed this time, there is a waiting time if you use the shuttle service.I thought it was good because I didn't have to walk.If you are driving, there is a parking lot next to the hotel, so you don't have to worry.Although it is far from Ginzan Onsen townWell, when I go out to play, I like to take a stroll.goodAfter 8pm, take a shuttle bus to enjoy the night view of Ginzan OnsenPlease pick me up.The annex is located right in front of the waterfall.Even if you are a customer of the main building, you cannot use the annex at all.[Inside the hotel]very nice calm atmosphereI could see the waterfall from the window.It was a good room.All meals are served in private rooms①Free drinks until you return the next dayContains alcohol✴️All drinks for dinner are also provided.Choose from the menu.It was very delicious.②The hot springs were also very warm.③ While walking around Burari, I took the course to enjoy it.However, the steep slope up to the hot spring town is difficult to climb unless you are physically fit.The slope is really steep and the stairs are also steep.④ After the course, it was dusk, so I had fun taking photos of the night view.I was completely satisfied with the hotel's service.⑤The next day at Izunohana, a shop in Ginzan Onsen Town.Lunch from 11amIt was a good memory.thank you.

Thank you for your help on August 12th, the second day of my Obon holiday trip.Ginzan Onsen has an elegant atmosphere. After checking in at the main building, we were taken to our villa (2.3 minutes by car). The man at the reception is extremely kind, courteous, and provides excellent service. The main building was executive, luxurious, and clean. The villa is located right next to the waterfall, so the view is spectacular, and the rooms have been renovated and there are too many rooms for two people to stay. The main building has separate indoor baths and open-air baths for men and women. The villa has rooms that can accommodate 4 groups, but there is only one private bath, so if one group is in there, you can't enter until you leave, but here you can use it 24 hours a day. You can take a bath in the main building from 7:00 to 21:00. Guests staying in the annex can also use the bath in the main building, but they have to walk up and down a steep slope. Apparently there is no shuttle service when taking a bath. It took 5.6 minutes to go uphill and it was easy to go back down 😊My husband and I have stayed at various inns from Hokkaido to Kyushu, and the service, view, and atmosphere of the rooms are by far the best.However, there is no late-night snack service at Bettei, so the only options are to buy food nearby or eat at one of the two restaurants nearby. Apparently one store closes at 6pm.This is definitely the place I want to stay when I come to Tohoku.

I took my parents to visit Ginzan Onsen. The hot spring town along the stream is nice and has a nice atmosphere, but it is very expensive and difficult for my mother who has bad legs.So I decided to stay at Takimikan. The room is on the first floor and is very spacious, with a nice view of the bathroom. Although it is not barrier-free, there are few steps and it seems like they were able to spend a comfortable time there.The employees (older men) are very friendly and talkative, so it's fun. He will explain the background and history of Ginzan Onsen.A bus will take you to the hot spring town at night, so if you want to spend a relaxing time, this is the best option.I would like to repeat it again.
