Exploring Yamagata Prefecture in Winter | Ginzan Onsen, Yamadera & Zao Onsen | JAPAN Vlog

We're exploring the snowy Yamagata Prefecture this week. Our first stop is the famous Ginzan onsen that inspired the bath house in Spirited Away, as of 2025 it now has new regulations for entry due to over-tourism. We will also visit Yamagata city, climb up Yamadera and visit the snow monsters in Zao Onsen. I hope you enjoy :) Watch in 4k Captions (auto-translate) available ☕ If you'd like to buy me a coffee https://ko-fi.com/ririregine (00:39) Arrival into Murayama (03:40) Ginzan Onsen (13:30) Bakery, Senjuin (shrine with train), Yamagata City (25:20) Yamadera and Zao Onsen (40:41) Check out day, snow monsters and roadside station food Places mentioned where names are in Japanese 米粉パンのお店 あおいそら https://maps.app.goo.gl/umPA75N4jKit5... 焼肉くろげ https://maps.app.goo.gl/4jBQMMBjuywv4...
