Some book nooks are designed to recreate a real place. Others tell a fictional story. Ginzan Onsen by Viendor does something rather unusual—it combines both.

The traditional wooden buildings lining the river, the bridges, the nostalgic atmosphere and the warm lighting all capture the charm of one of Japan’s best-known onsen towns.
