The retro building has been skillfully renovated and has a great location, appearance, and atmosphere. However, the room is clean, but a little small and noisy. It can't be helped because it's an old standard.

Please note when making reservations: Reservations can be made by phone.Monthly reservations will start from 10:00 a.m. five months in advance, but online reservations will start from 9:00 a.m.They didn't tell me that, and I was told in advance, ``We'll be waiting for your call again from 10 o'clock.'' When I called exactly at 10 o'clock that day, please note that the reservation was fully booked online.

I used it during the Obon period.We had two rooms, one facing the river and one facing the mountain.It was a shame that the view from the second floor on the mountain side was only visible to the wall of the building next door.Although the price will be a little higher, we recommend a room facing the river without hesitation.Rooms facing the river allow you to enjoy the view of Ginzan Onsen from the terrace seats.Originally, partitions were installed in each room in the long hallway, but there is a large gap (about 10 cm) near the window, so you can hear the voices next door.There is a glass partition between the terrace seats and the bedroom, so you can rest assured that your voice will not be heard inside the room.However, since it is a 110-year-old wooden structure, the sounds from the rooms above will resonate quite a bit below, but let's enjoy it as a Taisho romance.Both the hospitality and the food were very satisfying. There are two types of baths that change at different times, so you can enjoy both.This time, I took the Shinkansen to Sendai, toured Miyagi, and then rented a car, but I think it will get there faster than the slower Yamagata Shinkansen.

luxury innto the fullestAs you walk around town with your room key in hand, you'll find lots of great deals on food, soft-serve ice cream, and more at related shops.For dinner, you can choose between Japanese and Western restaurants located at related facilities in the hot spring town.Breakfast was also delicious.The staff are all warm people.I want to go again

I was a guest at the sister hotel Ginzanso and I entered this building to ask if it was possible to use the bath. It is not possible but I was especially badly received by the reception staff who were unpleasant.

A long-established inn that reopened in 2022. It has a modern interior while retaining the good aspects of an old inn.There are two baths with natural hot spring water, and the genders change depending on the time.The spring quality is clear with a light sulfur odor. Because of the sulfur smell, I thought there would be a tingling sensation, but I didn't feel any at all, and instead my skin felt smooth.The baths themselves are small, but each has its own charm.Due to the small number of guest rooms, the baths were not very crowded.All meals and drinks are included in the room rate, and there are basically no additional charges.I would like to go again.

This is a hot spring inn where you can relax. We recommend taking a walk on the nearby promenade to see waterfalls and mine ruins.It was all-inclusive and we enjoyed food and drinks.

Stayed for 1 night. The meals incorporated a lot of local ingredients, and the wild vegetables and meat were very delicious. I'm so happy to have all-you-can-drink sparkling drinks. The bath in the main building is small but full of character. It's good hot water. I walked up the slope from the main building to Ginzanso's open-air bath, which I could use for free, and I was impressed by how spectacular the reclining bath was in the middle of nature, and the stress of everyday life melted away. I went in the morning to go in at night. On the way back, we were taken to Oishida by a private bus, and the staff at Ginzanso held Hanagasa hats and unfurled a large curtain of gratitude, which brought tears to my eyes. I think it must have been extremely difficult during the coronavirus pandemic. The manager was young, humble, and handsome. Ginzanso Kosekiya, which has great hospitality, was a nice inn that energized the people who went there. thank you very much.

I had too high expectations for Ginzan Onsen itself.Honestly, it's not good.And lodging is surprisingly expensive.New initiatives such as inbound support and DX are wonderful, but the price is not worth it.I guess the quality of the spring water didn't suit me either.

I stayed at this inn on a one night and two board plan.The appearance, room, and food were absolutely wonderful. However, around 5:30 a.m., while I was sleeping, an inspection staff member came into the wrong room. I felt very scared as I woke up to a noise and voice and found a man I didn't know standing at the entrance. After that, I checked with the front desk and received an apology saying that information was not shared among the staff and that they were inspecting the wrong room.At breakfast, another staff member apologized, but in both cases it was only a verbal apology.I was really looking forward to going to Ginzan Onsen, which I had admired for many years. The price is not cheap, so I expected good service and response, but I was disappointed.I was angry that the hotel only offered a verbal apology for the rude act of entering the wrong room in the morning when guests were sleeping, which is a privacy area for inns and hotels. I'm sorry.

It was great that it was all-inclusive and I could use the menus of nearby restaurants for 0 yen (*There are exceptions to the menu)There are drinks available in the hotel, and if you want to bring a bottle into your room, you have to uncork it before taking it.I wish there were more types of non-alcoholic drinks in the hotel.

I was able to relax and feel the Taisho romance! Once you enter the sanctuary of the silver mine, it will be difficult to escape!It was an inn that I would definitely like to visit again♪

I visited around the middle of May. Ginzan Onsen is somewhat famous, so I thought I'd give it a try. . . I went there and was impressed! I was surprised! ! The townscape is the same, and I feel that the staff at the inn must be conscious of branding when serving customers.It was an indescribably pleasant town, inn, and people that made me feel like I was floating in a mysterious space, separated from everyday life. Of course, the food was also very delicious.This is a place that I would confidently recommend to my friends.

The location, building, and atmosphere are great. The food had a nice local flavor and was excellent.However, as for the bath, it may be unavoidable because the building is old, but unfortunately the open-air bath was also about a 10-minute walk away. However, the inn was full of things that more than made up for that, and it was enough to make me want to visit again.

The newly renovated rooms in Yinshan Hot Spring, the old-style buildings contain new technological products, continuing the traces of the past history while bringing the convenience needed by today's people, it is touching! In front of the wooden windows on each floor, there are rocking chairs from Grandpa's era, which allows people to go back in time. When you return to the room, there are modern compact devices, which makes people feel less stressed than living in an old wooden house! The toilet has its own air quality adjustment machine, so even if there are no windows, there is no smell of hotel toilets at all! The considerate all-you-can-eat drinks range from staying in for afternoon tea, dinner set menu, late-night grilled fried food, breakfast to all-you-can-eat ice cream and desserts at brunch. We consider the different needs of each guest very thoughtfully! I'm very happy that I chose this hotel. I hope to experience Yinshan life in different seasons.
