Hot Springs and Changing Seasons in the Mountains
Yamagata is known for landscapes that change with the seasons, from the frost-covered trees of Mount Zao to the Mogami River and the long stone stairway at Yamadera. It is also a fruit-growing region, and hot spring towns are scattered through its valleys.
The Yamagata page on Halal Gourmet Japan features prayer places such as YAMAGATA MUSALLA. Sights here are spread across a wide area, so deciding in advance where to stop for prayer makes a day of travel much easier to plan.
When visiting Yamagata, check the map for facilities near your route and plan your trip together with the neighboring prefectures.
