We had an exceptional time at this ryokan, it was perfect for a one day get away. The dinner and breakfast were very, very good, the onsen was super relaxing, and the room was very specious and filled with amenities. All set in a picturesque little town. We’ll be ack!

First of all, please not that this place (Ginzan Onsen, not this hotel) is VERY popular in Japan (as well as other countries, especially China), so you must book very early (6-7 months in summer, 1 year minimum during winter). So, this being said: - if this is your first time in a ryokan, you will be amazed. Nevertheless, the interior was quite old and dusty. The state of the facilities are not that good, even if one can see they are well cleaned ... they are simply old and need urgent refurbishment, especially given the high prices charged - on the other hand, the magic of the place compensates this. But it would be so simple to modernize it, especially the entrance area (it looks like a storage area !, great contrast with the other ryokans in the area, it's a pitty). - the food was great, exactly what you would expect in this price range for a ryokan - the baths are OK, if you want something special use the ones (exterior) in the "sister" hotel, they are great. (-) the big negative point for me was some of the staff and the way they seem to treat non Japanese guests; from the guy at check-in that started shouting "no reservation, full" because he didn't understood we have already a reservation ... (he never apologized). and the check-out where they showed us where to leave the luggage before leaving and that was everything. No goodbye when we came back to take the luggage, no help to the shuttle, nothing. Also, I think It's the very first ryokan I've visited where the staff insists we should take the luggage to our room ... without offering to help us or anything. Extremely disappointing and I think the level is so low because they have too many clients, people will keep coming even with substandard quality. It may not be strange if you don't know how a ryokan works but it' not good.... PS1: get a room on the front side (river), the back side is pretty sad. PS2: try to get outside of the "main street" of the "village" and do a stroll in the mountains around the Onsen, it's a great experience. Also, the best visit we did was after 21h00, when most tourists are in their best... it was great !

　大正ロマンの雰囲気が素敵な温泉地、銀山温泉。東北を巡る旅を計画していた私たちは、ぜひ、銀山温泉の宿に宿泊したいと思って調べていました。旅行を予定していた半年余り前のこと。古勢起屋別館のＨＰを見ていると、私たちが銀山温泉を訪れる日に、まだ空きがありました。古勢起屋別館は、銀山温泉の温泉宿の中でも有名で人気の宿なので、すぐに予約を入れました。それも、部屋数が限られている川側の部屋をとれたんです。 　そして半年後の秋。銀山温泉の入口に、古勢起屋専用の駐車場があって、そこからお迎えを電話を入れました。宿の送迎車でさえ、温泉街の端までしか入ることができないんです。 　私たちは、３時のチェックイン時間に合わせて着いたので、お宿と温泉街を十分に楽しむことができました。私たちの客室は、川側の２間続きの和室でしたが、奥の部屋にはツインベッドが置かれていました。部屋の窓辺からは、暮れ行く温泉街も、ガス灯がともる夜景も、誰もいない早朝も、見ることができました。 　食事もよかったですし、レトロな温泉も素敵でした。なにより、宿泊したからこその、誰もいない銀山温泉をたっぷりと感じられました。

在冬天到銀山溫泉，推薦入住這旅館，正在溫泉街旁，早上或晚上拍照可避過人羣，較易拍到理想的照片。館內溫泉不大，不過可到姊妹店銀山莊浸溫泉，可以享受一流的戶外溫泉。
