Introducing Yamagata
Surrounded by beautiful, often snowcapped mountains, Yamagata is a thriving industrial city with a sizable student population, making for a livelier nightlife and more youthful vibe than in comparable inaka (rural) cities. Most travellers use it as a base for day trips to Yamadera, Tendō and Takahata, as well as the skiing, bathing and hiking region around Zaō Onsen.
