Visitors to Ginzan Onsen will feel as if they have slipped
into another time. Once they set foot in this hot spring
town, they experience a mysterious feeling of having been
cut off from their routine lives. Three and four-story
wooden inns lining the street look like movie sets, yet
eloquently speak of its prosperous past. |

In below zero temperatures, snow and ice create countless
huge icy structures on the snowfields,the Ice Monsters.
When the snow-covered mountain is lit up in the colors
of the rainbow, an unearthly view unravels. During the
harsh winter months, the mountain acquires a divine beauty
seemingly unapproachable by humans. |
