    Yamagata Higashitagawa-gun Shonaimachi Karikawa Kasayama 444-9
    Shonai-machi Windmill Village is a wind-powered generating facility located on Mt. Kasayama, which looms over Shonai Town, Yamagata Prefecture. Since the old days, people in the Shonai region have been plagued by crop damage due to the powerful winds, known as “Kiyokawa-dashi,” that blow down from the Mogami pass. However, that problem has been turned into a benefit with the installation of windmills, which have become a beloved symbol of the town. Windome Tachikawa, a museum within the cluster of windmills, contains exhibits describing the workings of windmills and facts about wind. Other features suitable for family enjoyment include an open space with playground equipment, battery-operated vehicles, a field of lavender, and an observation platform that afford a view of the entire Shonai Plain.

  • Gakkogawa Kasenjiki, Former Asahi Bridge
    Travel / Tourism
    Yamagata Akumi-gun Yuzamachi Yoshide
    About a 10-minute walk from the JR Yuza Station, this riverbank of the Gakko River is famous as the backdrop for movies, and finds it source waters in Mt. Chokai. The banks of the river have been designed as the Gakko River park, the Gakkogawa Kasen Koen. This site is an optimal location for enjoying the picturesque Mt. Chokai, and is the spot where the protagonist of a well-known film sat, playing a cello, with the mountain as a backdrop. A chair remains placed on this spot to this day. Visitors are able to sit in this chair, as though they are the protagonist, and have their photograph taken here. Immediately off to the side of the park is the impressive Asahi Bridge.

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.
