This is a ski resort exclusively for summer skiing at Mt. Ubagatake (the second peak of Mt. Gassan) in Yamagata Prefecture approximately 25 minutes by car from Gassan Interchange on the Yamagata Expressway. As it is a ski resort in a heavy snow area it opens in April when other ski resorts close and skiing is possible until summer and the snow disappears. There are four slopes and the natural bumps utilizing the natural terrain are perfect for practicing mogul skiing. The biggest attraction is that it is warm and visitors can enjoy skiing in light clothing and even short sleeves. Skiing under the blue sky looking over the fresh green spreading below is refreshing.

最上川を渡った先にある公園。市街から離れているので、自動車か観光自転車で行った方が無難です(本数は少ないですが、バスも通っています)。駐車場も広かったので。園内には運動施設や冒険広場(子ども向けの遊具があります)、池、土門拳記念館があります。広いので、1日中のんびりするにはいいかもしれません。山頂からは、最上川越しに市街を望めました。とは言え、飯森山は標高たったの42m。山と言うよりも丘で...

4月上旬に行きました。山形市中心部からは車で25分くらいですがバスでも行けるみたいでした。入場料は300円取られますが、駐車場は無料でしたが、肝心の公園内は野草なので特に色鮮やかな花もなく、地味な感じで桜もありませんでした。4月はオススメしないです。

Yamagata Pref. Nanyoushi Akayu 2836

This vineyard has been operated by a long-established winery since the Taisho period. In addition to wine varieties of grapes, they cultivate a number of grape varieties for picking too. Visitors come from all around the country during grape-picking season—early August to mid-October. From grape cultivation to fermentation, the family does every step for themselves, creating a limited number of bottles of their original wine brand, which you are unlikely to find through normal distribution channels.

Yamagata Areas

Although often overlooked, Yamagata prefecture by no means lacks appeal: the Yamadera temple trail through the mountains, deliciously tender Yonezawa wagyu, and over 100 steaming hot springs, most notably Zao Onsen, await visitors. When winter comes, the snowcapped peaks become dotted with skiers by day and onsen-goers by night, while summer brings the celebration of juicy Yamagata cherries.
