    かなり久しぶりに米沢市に来たら、立派なホールができていて、驚きました。 このホールは、山形県立の「置賜文化ホール」と米沢市立の「米沢市上杉博物館」からなる県と市の合築施設との事です。 常設展示室では、上杉の歴史と文化をテーマに構成されていました。 「上杉本洛中洛外図屏風」の中を疑似体験できる「洛中洛外図の世界」があり、また鷹山公の実像や改革の苦難時代を紹介する「鷹山シアター」を体験しました。 初め...

    Yamagata Nanyo-shi Miyauchi 4396-2
    Sosho Rose Garden is located near the top of the hill in Sosho Park, a fifteen-minute walk from Miyauchi Station on the Flower Nagai Line. About6000 roses, representing 340 varieties, are planted there. The winds blowing out of the Okitama Basin carry the fragrance of the roses far and wide, giving the garden the affectionate nickname of “the fragrant rose garden.” Many of the plants are old varieties of roses that are now hard to obtain, so the garden is popular with rose aficionados. The Nanyo Rose Festival is held from June to July.

    訪問したのは2017年です。 その前に見つけていたのですが入館せず、再訪した際に入ってみました。 純粋なマタギ資料館と思いきや、一階は食事のできるレストラン（喫茶店？かな？）でした。 ジュークボックスが置いてあったりで、想像とは全く違う施設でした。 凄い山の中で、どれだけのお客さんが来るのか不思議ですが、環境や店員さんは凄く親切です。 客が私一人だったためか、地元のメロンを無料で食べさせてもらえま...

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.
