    Yamagata Pref. Sakatashi Onarichou 7-7
    A garden and art museum a five minute walk from Sakata Station. Built as a garden and villa for the Homma family of wealthy merchants and landowners, the facility was opened to the public as a private art museum in 1947. The museum’s collection consists primarily of works of art passed down for generations in the Homma family, and the museum is filled with ancient writings, antiques, paintings, and other valuable artwork. Other highlights include the Seienkaku, a beautiful wood villa built in the Kyoto style; and the Kakubuen, a traditional garden built around a central pond celebrated as one of the best Japanese gardens in the country and renowned for the beauty of its fall foliage.

    さすが江戸時代から戦前まで豪商だった本間家の美術品です。日本国内でも著名な作者のオンパレードですね。撮影不可の作品も有りますが、ほとんどが撮影可なのが嬉しいです。私事ですが「真田太平記(池波正太郎作)」にも出ていた「小野通女」の作品を見られたことが嬉しく感じました。

    気になった展覧会があると訪れています。鳥海山をのぞめる高台にあるため、気持ちがいいです。鑑賞後、喫茶店で景色をながめながら飲むコーヒーもよりおいしく感じます。

    Yamagata Pref. Sakatashi Tsuchibuchi Akira Jiro 20-2
    This astronomical observatory is in the Chokai-no-mori area of Tsuchibuchi, Sakata City. It has a 50-centimeter reflector telescope, the largest in the Shonai region. They hold astronomical observations at night on Fridays and Saturdays and during the day on Saturdays and Sundays. In the annex's exhibition room there's a model of the space shuttle, a display of the constellations, and a large quick reference board of the stars where you can see what the sky will look like later that night.

    キャンプ場の途中にあったので寄ってみました 公園になっており天気が良ければとても眺めが良い公園です 天体観測館は当然と言えば当然なのですが 日中訪れても無駄足になります 夜の星観察場なので

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.
