    コロナ脳が酷いです。 ノーマスクの女性客の腕をつかんで強制的に降ろされたそうです。 しかも頂上に上がって、降りるときはノーマスクでも何も言わない。 最低です。

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.
