    Yamagata Pref. Kaminoyamashi Yotsuya 2-6-1
    This is a winery in Yotsuya, Kaminoyama City. Since its founding in 1920, this winery has been conscientiously producing grapes under natural conditions of minimal chemicals and organic fertilizers. The process of producing the wine is all done on-site, from harvesting the wine grape varieties, cabernet sauvignon, chardonnay, and merlot, to fermenting, bottling, and shipping. Tours of the vineyard are free (reservations required), which includes visiting the fields and the brewery. Wine tasting at the adjoining bar is available for a small fee.

    Be sure to enter from the main road on the western side. We entered from route 51 on the eastern side which is possible but the lane narrows to a track before reaching the winery. The winery had a...

    Yamagata Tsuruoka-shi Oyama 1-7-7

    歴史のある老舗のお漬物屋さんです。店内に入ると我々観光客だけでなく地元の皆さんも訪れます。スタッフの応対は丁寧です。大変よい買物ができました。季節柄「山ごぼう たまり漬」、「鳥海うどみそら漬」、「燻製たくあん」、「沖田なす浅漬」が時季外れで購入できず残念でした。

    Yamagata Pref. Yamagatashi Zaoumatsugaoka 2-1-3
    This is a multi-purpose park along the National Route 13 in Zao Matsugaoka, Yamagata City. With a confectionery factory, a bakery, and an Italian cafe on site, this park has over 600,000 visitors every year. There are factory tour paths throughout the factory park, where one can enjoy watching rusks made through a glass enclosure. Cybele was the first in Japan to make a quality genuine rusk. Their production of these requires over 20,000 French baguettes, which, when all in a row, is quite a site to see.

    Yamagata Pref. Tsuruokashi Oyama 3-chome 1-38

    連休初日の土曜日に訪れました。お寺の隣に酒蔵らしき建物はありましたが、周囲を巡っても入り口は見つからず、事務所も休みのようでした。一応、インターネットのホームページはあるので、ネットや取引先からお酒を購入できるものと思われますが、現地へ直接行っても何も見るものがありません。観光客の受け入れはやっていないのかも。酒蔵巡りを目的に行かれる方は、見学が可能かどうか事前に確認したほうがよいと思います。近く...

Yamagata Areas

around-area-map

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.
