Fascinating Yamagata
Hello! I want to introduce about Yamagata. There are many wonderful places where we can visit and enjoy. Do you know this scenery? I tell you about Zao at first. This lake’s name is ‘Okama’. It was made by explosion of volcano many years ago and very famous sightseeing spot in Japan. Many people visit there to see it. This lake has very beautiful colors of water and can change colors by weather.As there is a volcano, Zao is also famous to hot spring. Zao hot spring town is full of smelling of sulfur. Some people do not like this smelling but it is nice for people who like hot springs. It is effective for beautiful skin, tiredness and so on.
Zao has one more famous thing, it is... skiing!! Zao is one of the largest ski resort in Japan. Of course, snow board is also O.K. Maybe almost people can not play there perfectly only a day, they need more days to play enough. I recommend here to play winter sports.
That’s all introducing about Zao. Next, I introduce Yonezawa. Yonezawa is base place of Uesugi family. It is a very famous family of military commander in Sengoku period. The first reader was Uesugi Kensin. He is a rival of Takeda Singen and very his army was really strong. There is his stone monument where was put his dead body in Uesugi shrine. Uesugi shrine has a lot of things about Uesugi family. And near the Uesugi shrine, there is a museum of history of Uesugi. It is good for you to learn about them and people who like Uesugi or history should go there. This museum will tell you much nice information for you. It includes armors of famous people’s. Here is really exciting point!!On the other hand, Yonezawa is famous for ‘Yonezawa Beef’. It is high quality and very wonderful tastes. However it is expensive, so, we can not eat them easily. Let’s save the money and eat them! Yonezawa is also wonderful spot. I recommend you to go there, too. I finish introducing about Yamagata. There are a lot of other nice places in Yamagata and you can search more about there. I am happy if you have interests for Yamagata.
It's cool!! I have never been to YAMAGATA, so this photo is very interesting.
