    Yamagata Pref. Tsuruokashi Haguromachitouge Haguroyama
    A 30-minute walk from Hagurosan Zuishinmon Gate, this popular tea house is located on Ninosaka hill on the approach to Mt. Haguro. Ninosaka is the longest and steepest of all the approach paths to Mt. Haguro. On the left side going up is “Ninosaka Chaya.” Pestle-ground daily, the recommended “chikara mochi” is strong mochi with soy flour and red bean paste, coupled with matcha tea. The pestle–ground strong texture is popular with temple visitors. Also, you can see all of Shonai plains from the tea house, and on a clear day, you get the gorgeous sight of the Sea of Japan all the way out to Tobishima.

    出羽三山の山道の途中、二の坂に設けられているのが二の坂茶屋。参道のちょうど中間地点に位置する場所にあるので、下から登る参拝者にとっては休息をしたい場所にあるといってもよい。ここで団子や抹茶を飲むと疲れが癒される。

    Yamagata Pref. Tsuruokashi Sannoumachi 9-25
    This is a Japanese and western confectionary shop in Sanno-machi, Tsuruoka City. Founded in 1887, this shop was Yamagata's first bakery. The original Kimuraya Bakery Store in Tokyo graciously shared its name with the first-generation bakery at that time. In addition to their signature item sakedane anpan, a sake yeast sweet adzuki-bean pastry, they sell a series of dadaccha soybean confections including dadacchamame uemon, and kokyo, a beanpaste and jellied sweet, as well as anniversary cake.

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.
