  2. Visit Kajo Park, the grounds of former Yamagata Castle. Your guide walks you past the reconstructed Honmaru-Ichimonji gate and stone moats. It is a peaceful green space and one of the area's most beautiful cherry-blossom spots in spring.

    30 min

  5. Founded in the 9th century, Yamadera's sub-temples dot the slopes of Mt. Hoshu just 25 minutes from the city. A 1,000-step ascent through a mystic cedar forest brings you to the temple complex at the summit, with gorgeous views that are considered among the best in northern Japan. Fall is a wonderful time to visit Yamadera Temple. The colorful foliage of the surrounding forest and the mild temperatures help make the climb to the top a joy
