    About 10 minutes from the Yonezawa Chuo Interchange off the Tohoku Chuo Expressway via National Route 121, this Yonezawa textiles shop is on the first floor of the Yonezawa Textiles History Museum, annexed to the Yoneori Kaikan hall. Yonezawa-ori weave, a simple yet warm hand-woven fabric, declared by Uesugi Yozan, as that which rebuilt the economy of the Uesugi dynasty. One can purchase obi ties, fabric, bags, fans, and other sundries such as business card cases at the museum shop. The iridescent neko-jacquard shawl, designed with a cat-pattern that changes colors depending on its angle, was even featured on television and was selected as a thank you-gift item for hometown tax payers.

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.
