Haven Nº 032 — Obanazawa, Yamagata, Japan
Ginzan Onsen
The gas lamps on Ginzan Onsen's one street come on at dusk. This winter, to be there, you need a bus seat with a time on it, or a room.
Yamagata
Snow, wooden inns and the gas lamps at dusk.
One street of wooden inns on both banks of the Ginzan River, gas lamps lit at dusk. From December 19, 2026, to March 7, 2027, day visitors leave their cars outside town and come in by timed shuttle, best booked ahead; those who sleep there keep the street after the last bus.
