    Yamagata Pref. Mogamiguntozawamura Furukuchi 86-1
    This boat trip descends the Mogami River. They're regular route covers about 12 kilometers from Furukuchi Pier in Furukuchi, Tozawa Village to Kusanagi Pier. It operates every day of the year. The hour-long journey lets visitors enjoy the seasonal views of the Mogami Gorge. The songs of the well-trained boatmen are one of the highlights, and on occasion they'll break into mimicry or sing in Korean. They also offer a variety of special plans, like a course that takes in Shiraito Falls from April to November and a cool of the evening cruise in July and August where you can watch the sun set from the Mogami River.

    戸澤藩船番所で乗船券を購入し、坂を降りて、古口港から出発します。 ここから草薙港まで、12kmの定期航路は通年営業で、冬でも乗船できます。 基本的には船頭さんのお話を聞きながら、両岸の滝を眺め、のんびり川を下っていきますが、途中何箇所か流れが早い部分があり、スリルを楽しめます。 しかし、川の水量によって、そのスリル度は異なるようです。 今回は大雪の後で、水量が多く、スリルを楽しむ事が出来ました...

    Yamagata Pref. Mogamiguntozawamura Furukuchi 86-1
    This river port is about five minutes on foot from JR Furukuchi Station. It serves sightseeing boats that ply the Mogami River towards Kawa-no-Eki Mogamikyo Kusanagi. The Mogami River Basho Line Descent lets visitors take in the scenery from the river while listening to the songs of the quirky boatmen. You can get a meal along with the boat ride if you reserve in advance, and passengers who come on their own are welcome. They offer a limited period cruise course, and the boat itself transforms with the seasons with bamboo shades replacing the roof in summer and heated low kotatsu tables installed for winter.

    戸沢藩船番所は、入口が番所の作りになっていました。駐車場には、番所役人の格好をした方が、観光客が来ると歓迎してくれます。

    Yamagata Mogami-gun Tozawamura Furukuchi Tsuchiyu
    This forest is located in the Furukuchi Tsuchiyu, Tozawa Village, Mogami County. It is densely populated by Tsuchiyu Japanese cedars, which are abundant along the Mogami River. The complex forks and curves of the trunks of these enormous trees, which are said to be over 1,000 years old, create a wondrous view worthy of the forest’s name.

    枝分かれした杉の木がいくつも立っていて、本当に幻想的です。 幹が裂けたものや、穴の開いたものなど、見ていて飽きません。 森自体はウッドチップで整備されていますが、国道から細い砂利の林道を3キロぼど進む必要がります。 基本すれ違いができないので車では行かない方が良いです。 出かける前に土湯沢林道で通行可能かチェックしましょう。 私が言ったのは、平日の昼頃でしたが、車3台、バイク1台と出会いました...

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.
