Sounkyo層雲峡
This ravine is at Mt. Goshozan in Obanazawa City. Known for the mountain's advanced climbing trail that straddles the border with Miyagi Prefecture, depending on the season, the ravine may be fresh green or brilliantly colored with autumn leaves. Spots like Gozenmae, Otaki Falls, and river crossings help get you in touch with Mother Nature.

Yamagata Main 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.
