Yamagata Pref. Tsuruokashi Nunome Nakadori 80-1

This store is located on National Route 7 in Nunome, Tsuruoka City. It houses mostly shops selling local specialties and souvenirs with shops selling seafood from the Sea of Japan and crab directly sourced from fishing ports. There is also a restaurant serving seafood and local cuisine using the fruits of the seas off Shonai.

レストランのほか、お土産品や、鮮魚なども取り扱っており、とても充実しています。新潟から酒田に行く際は、高速であえて鶴岡で降りていつもここに寄ります。（実は鶴岡の先から有料道路になるためってのもありますが）物産館とは別棟・別経営になりますが、平田牧場の直売所もあり、こちらもあわせて見るとさらにいいです。地元庄内交通グループ系で民間の経営のようですが、道の駅と名乗ってもいいレベルの施設です。

山形新幹線の始発駅、新庄駅に隣接したゆめりあという施設に入っている物産館に入ってみます。山形県内というよりは最上地方の物産が多くありなかなか良かったです。お米やお蕎麦も気になりましたが初めて見た大阪屋さんこあじさいオーダマンドというお菓子を購入。ほんのり甘めのクッキーが美味しかったです。

鶴岡ICの近くにあります。きれいで天井が高い店内は見やすくて買い物がしやすいです。少しずつ他店と品揃えが違うのでそれもまたいいです。カフェが併設されており晴れた日には鳥海山がきれいに見えるそうです。

すごい空間でした。これはトイレではない。くらげもいるし、綺麗ですが、用を足すには不向きかなと思います。手洗も変わった形で面白いですが、実用では水が跳ねてしまうので実用的ではないかな。青い空間は何とも言えない空間ですが、おもしろい発想だと思います。1度は入ってみるといいと思います。でも1人しか入れないので、タイミングが悪いと待ちます。

肘折温泉街にも1mの雪が積もったとネットニュースに出ていた。朝市はいよいよ今年の幕を閉じたようだ。邂逅の森の舞台ともなった肘折温泉。この本を読んでから、また行きたくてたまらなくなり向かった。たった2軒の土産物屋しか無い温泉街で、舞台のこけしを売る店はたぶんここだろう。1つ1つのこけしの顔を眺めながら私も1つ買った。満月を臨める丘と言うのは、たぶん陸橋ができている辺りでは無いだろうか等、想いを馳せな...

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.
