    Yamagata Nanyo-shi Akayu 2841-1
    This is a V-tail flight area for hang gliding and paragliding, just about 10 minutes by car from the JR Akayu Station. There are flight areas for beginners and intermediate visitors at an elevation of 500 meters, and for advanced fliers at 700 meters. One can enjoy high-altitude, extended flight times due to the wind currents arising from the Lake Hakuryu and its surrounding hills. The landing area is free of any obstacles for safe and easy landings. Under ideal conditions, one may have the opportunity to soar above a ‘sea of clouds’, which are known to form in the Nanyo Skypark area.

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.
