    Yamagata Pref. Yamagatashi Midorichou 1-4-28
    This is a gardening culture study center located in Midori Town, Yamagata City. Famous for his design of the Hotel Okura garden, one can enjoy this traditional Japanese garden style of a pond surrounded by meandering paths designed by Sentaro Iwaki. Another design trait is the many historic rock structures placed throughout the garden. Adjacent to the garden is a cultural studies center, equipped with a multi-purpose hall where exhibitions, concerts, and other events can be held.

    文翔館から東に行ったところにある山形県の施設です。多目的ホールや和室研修室があり、行ったときにも使用されていましたが、観光客にとっては見る価値があるのはその庭園だと思います。それほど広くはないですが、綺麗に整備されていて良かったです。

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.
