Ginzan Onsen is a hot spring town located in Obanazawa City, Yamagata Prefecture in the Tohoku region, which has been selected as the "No. 1 hot spring atmosphere of the East".

I was able to finish the trip safely without feeling cold due to the snow cover on the Otaru Canal, blessed with the weather during the trip, and the next week's weather news made me shout "Hi-" to the announcement of Chitose Airport, plane, takeoff and landing, and impossible.

In February of this year, I went to Sapporo for 2 nights and 3 days, and the snow festival was canceled, but the trip was decided, and I thought that it was a cold place in the middle of winter to the Otaru Canal!

Lake Tazawa. Snow. A world without sound. You can stand there forever... yes, it was cold.

I want everyone to go. It was a hot spring in the middle of winter, which was really, really good. I was very satisfied with the hot spring tour. Warms up from the core. I don't mind mixed bathing at all lol.
