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. Autumn is a wonderful time to visit Yamadera Temple. The colourful foliage of the surrounding forest and the mild temperatures help make the climb to the top a joy.

Yamagata castle

A short walk from the station, Kajo Park inside the walls of Yamagata Castle holds several events throughout the year. Every spring, revellers fill the park to picnic and view the hundreds of cherry trees in bloom.
Mount Zaō
  • 1m
Mt. Zao is one of the most popular sightseeing spots in northern Japan, with great hiking in the summer, top-notch skiing at the Zao Onsen Ski Resort in the winter and sigh-inducing soaks at its eponymous onsen, which operates year-round.
Tendo
  • 1h
Tendo is Yamagata's fruit mecca, home to vast orchards of apples, peaches, pears, and of course, cherries. It's also one of the prefecture's premier hot spring resorts, with many outdoor baths. For fans of shogi, Japanese chess, the town produces the vast majority of Japan's game pieces. Their creation is a highly developed local craft dating back hundreds of years.
Kaminoyama Castle
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
When you're finished, head up to Kaminoyama Castle , for views over the town and surrounding mountains. Originally built in 1535, the castle was once the headquarters of the Kaminoyama Domain. Today it houses a small museum paying homage to the warlords that once ruled the region.
