    Yamagata Akumi-gun Yuzamachi Sugisawa Nakata 1-1
    About a 20-minute drive from the Sakata Minato Interchange off the Nihonkai Tohoku Expressway via the National Route 345, this building was reconstructed using the materials from an old residence said to have been built in 1703. It characteristically has low eaves and the earthen hearth covers almost half of the area of the dwelling. It is preserved as a Yuza Town Tangible Cultural Property. Although using the old construction materials, with modern engineering techniques, measures were taken for air-tight heat insulation so that it can be used for meetings, concerts, parties and a wide-range of other cultural events. It is well worth touring just the building.

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.
