Yamagata Prefecture

Yamagata Prefecture is a treasure trove of delicious food and drinks including cherries, local brands of rice (Tsuyahime and Yukiwakamaru), Yamagata beef, Japanese sake and wine. Hot springs can be found all across the prefecture and as it is home to many national heritage sites, such as the Three Mountains of Dewa and Yama-dera, Yamagata is an attractive prefecture steeped in culture and history.
