【Gokamaki】
Located at an altitude of 1,670 meters, Okama is a crater lake with a diameter of 330 meters. It was formed by a volcanic eruption about 3,000 years ago and is a major symbol of Zao. Because the color of the lake changes depending on the sunlight, it is also called the "Five-Colored Lake", and its mysterious scene is like a work of art created by nature.
・The roads leading to Okama - the Zao Echo Line and the Zao High Line are closed from early November to late April of the following year and vehicles cannot enter.
【Ginzan Hot Spring】
Ginzan Onsen has retro-style ancient buildings and artistic atmosphere, as if a time tunnel takes you back to the Taisho period. The retro wooden inn is integrated with the modern architectural inn designed by Kengo Kuma. The walls of the inn are decorated with colorful trowel patterns, which is full of artistic sense. Dressed in Taisho-era costumes, stroll through the picturesque hot spring district and fully appreciate the charm of Japanese tradition! The Yuya Ryokan in Hayao Miyazaki's popular Ghibli anime "Spirited Away" was inspired by Ginzan Onsen. Step into the fantasy world of Ghibli and take a romantic journey between reality and fairy tale.
