    Yamagata Tsuruoka-shi Babacho 7-19
    Tsuruoka Catholic Cathedral is located a five-minute walk from the Shiyakusho (City Hall) mae bus stop on the bus line from Tsuruoka Station. It is a beautiful church with a red roof and white walls, designed by Father Papineau and completed in 1903. A masterpiece of Meiji (1868–1912) period Romanesque architecture. On one of its altars stands the only statue of the Black Madonna in Japan and one of the few in the world. Another feature unique among Japanese churches is that its pictorial windows are not made of stained glass but of pictures painted on transparent paper pressed between two panes of glass.

    鶴ヶ丘城址に近い白い壁と赤い尖塔の建物です。案内板によれば明治期に建てられたようで山形県の文化財として指定されています。内部は畳の上にパイプ椅子が置かれています。入り口の上にはパイプオルガン、音を聞いてみたいものです。

    Yamagata Pref. Yamagatashi Kinomichou 9-22

    山形の街歩きをしていて近くに来たので立ち寄ってみました。不便な場所ではないですが、特に周辺に目立つ目印のようなものはないです。比較的こじんまりとした建物ですが、パステル系の色合いがかわいらしい雰囲気は良い建物でした。

    Yamagata Yonezawa-shi Omachi 4-5-37

    カトリック米沢教会は塔のある屋根の教会ではありません。十字架も壁面に張ってありました。外観からは教会という感じはしない。質素な教会ですが、内部のステンドグラスが美しく、聖ダミアン神父像も歴史を感じさせます。

    JR天童駅からレンタルサイクルを利用して散策して発見した教会です。ここだけ、ちょっと雰囲気が違う感じでした。 入口近くには由緒などの説明はありませんでしたので、外観を見るだけにしました〇

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.
