Yamagata Prefecture is located in the southern part of Japan's Tōhoku area. Conveniently located just a 5-hour drive from Tokyo and an hour drive from Sendai City, it is a recommended tourist destination for day tours and overnight
tours.
There are many popular tourist attractions to visit within a 30-minute drive from Yamagata City, including the famous Yamadera Temple with a history of over 1,200 years and the snow monster "Zaō no Juhyō" created by Mother
Nature.
We also recommend that you plan your Yamagata trip with a sightseeing tour to the outskirts of Yamagata City, such as a trip to "Ginzan Onsen" full of that nostalgic Taishō Era (early 20th century) romance, or a boat trip
on the "Mogami River" to enjoy the seasonal changes in nature.
