Yamagata - Japan Offered Truly Exceptional Convenience

May 6, 2009

img_tsuruoka01Yamagata is not large area. Yamagata is a small town, on the fringe, and is inhabited only 250 thousand inhabitants. Interestingly, with a small number of people, they have a strong tradition for film festival.
Yamagata City is in the mountain environment. Because the region is in the hills, make this city is very cool. Temperatures reached 10 degrees Celsius in the third semester of each year, making this city become tourist attraction that is not too crowded. However, the convenience offered truly exceptional.

Yamagata, this town located in north of Japan region, can be achieved through two routes of transportation, land and air. On land, we can use  bus or train. If you want comfort, you can choose train.

When arrive at Narita Airport, we must find train with major of Tokyo. Train services with Air condition and clean makes its users feel comfortable. Arriving at Tokyo train station, we find again the train with the same point Sendai city. Tokyo-Sendai distance adopted within four hours. In Sendai, we changed trains again. This time, more simple, but clean with professional service.

From railway station in Sendai to Yamagata train station, we need 85 minutes of the time. From Sendai, we will go through some small town with  beautiful carpet of rice field and hills. Tousyogu, Kita Sendai, Kitayama, Kunimi, Kuzuoka, Rikuzen Ochiai, Kumagane, Sakunami, Oku Nikawa, Kougen, Yamadera, Takase, Tateyama, Uzen Chitose, We Yamagata and Yamagata to be fine in your journey.

From railway station, there are bus transportation routes, with ticket price of 100 yen, to be able to around  small town Yamagata. There is one place most visited by many people, this is Nanoka-machi road, along about three kilometers. This is the central economic and governance of local government Yamagata. Government buildings and shops, along the road ignites in Nanoka-machi.

Around the machi Nanoka road there are a lot of shopping center that sells daily needs. Especially for food, clothing, and household equipment. All products selling goods, with prices that vary widely. First, held after the documentary film festival, the city is more alive. All products sold are very unique, special interest for the visitor.

In Yamagata, there are some very interesting places to be visited by walking. For instance, in a building called Kyodokan. Kyodokan built in Meiji dynasty era. Here, we can find a summary of the history of Japan-display and display medical equipment while Meiji dynasty in power.

Or where Bunshokan. This place is the ancient building, the building time of the Renaissance in Europe, with the added touch of Asia. That’s interesting is this place we can find the background of social and political history in Yamagata city.By Meiji Dynasty, this place used for education activities, social activities and political activities. From the outside it appears that this strange building, let alone stand in a small town. However, when step to enter, it is full of atmosphere middle education activities conducted.

And in fact there are many other locations, which can be visited around Yamagata city. From the information that can be found, it appeared that there are some unique locations, the Mogami Yosiaki history museum established by the eleventh king of Puri Yamagata, called Mogami Yoshiaki (1546-1614).

Or where there is more that can be reached with a walk, ie, Otemon Higashi, who is also a place that was founded by Mogami Yoshiaki. In 1991, has been renovated with the funds of 1.1 billion yen by Jepan government. Perhaps as a tale land. Is too excessive. For, in Yamagata city, there are so many buildings with high historical value. Because the citizen have  high awareness to be able to maintain the buildings and historical heritage that they have.

Can be, maintaining the historical heritage, whether any form, perhaps reflecting a nation’s ethics. Hopefully this is not too excessive. Impression that may appear in the mind of anyone who had visited to Yamagata.
