    Yamagata Higashiokitama-gun Kawanishimachi Nakakomatsu 2911-5

The collection consists of more than 600 ceramic pieces of theImportant Cultural Properties mainly from Japan, China, and Korea.

The surrounding garden with its seasonal plants and trees is an attractive place for taking a stroll.

    This is a winery located about 10 minutes by car from the JR Akayu station. All of the winemaking operations, from cultivation, harvesting, fermenting, and finally bottling are done by hand at this family-operated winery. Here at the Shikin Vineyards, although there are dedicated wine vineyards, from early August to mid-October some vineyards are open to the public for grape picking. The Nanyo Wine made here is similar to German white wine that is slightly dry with a hint of sweetness.

    米沢から喜多方に向かう途中に、古民家風の建物が目立ったので立ち寄った。築200年の古民家をリノベーションした道の駅で、地元の採れた野菜・果物や、磁場の名産品などが売られている。笹野一刀彫などの民芸品などもあったが、特にめぼしいものはなかった。手打ちそばなどをいただける食事処も併設されている。

    温泉街から続く石段を登ると参道に大きな石造りの大鳥居がある。明治後期に境内背後から切り出した凝灰岩で作られたもので、継ぎ目が無い石造の鳥居としては日本一の大きさだそうだ。大鳥居をくぐってさらに石段を上がるとインパクトのある阿吽の狛犬が出迎えてくれる。その奥が拝殿となっている。境内右に、高さ3m重さ10数トンの磨崖板碑といわれる烏帽子岩があり、表面に7つの彫り込みが確認できる。公園の地名も神社名もこ...

    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。

    所用で米沢に行った際、上杉神社と法音寺へ詣りました。 ここ法音寺は観光情報が少なかったですが、何か惹かれるものを感じて伺いました。 お寺というより、御座敷にあがらせて頂く感覚で、じっくり仏を拝観しました。 上杉家が越後•会津•米沢と渡ってくる間に縁のあった神仏ばかりでした。 歴史に疎い私でも、その縁起を聞くと上杉家の歴代藩主の信仰心の厚さに感じ入りました。 謙信公が崇拝していた毘沙門天もここにおら...

    Yamagata Pref. Yonezawashi Yanazawa 5265

    昨年に続き今年も栗拾いに行き、カフェを利用しました。ちなみに栗拾いをするとカフェの割引券がもらえます。栗拾い弁当、豚汁、栗ソフトは昨年同様とても美味しかったです。今年はレジ横にあったシフォンケーキを初めて購入。味はプレーンで、シンプルながらしっとりとして優しい味わいでした。他にも、ぶどうやジャムやジュースなどいろいろな美味しそうなものも売っていました。

    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.
