Fairy Tale City of Yamagata

Yamagata is not a large area. Yamagata is a small town, in the suburbs, and only occupied 250 thousand inhabitants. Interestingly, with a small population, they have a strong tradition to hold the film festival.
Yamagata city is located in the hill environment. Because in the hill region, it can be imagined that the weather of Yamagata is very cold. For me that comes from the tropical area, where temperatures tend to be cold instead. The temperature reached 10 degrees Celsius in the third semester of each year, making this city sights are not too crowded. However, the convenience offered incredible.

Yamagata, which is located in northern Japan, can be achieved through two transportation routes, land and air. On land, we can use the bus or train. If you want to have a more comfortable transportation, u can choose the train.

When we arrived in Narita Airport, we must seek Tokyo railway department. Train with air-conditioning service and clean condition of the car makes its users feel comfortable. Arriving at Tokyo train station, we are looking for another train to the same facility pointing Sendai city. Tokyo-Sendai distance to within four hours. Of Sendai, we changed trains again. This time, more modest, but clean with a professional service.

From the train station to Sendai Yamagata train station, we need 85 minutes travel time. Of Sendai, we will pass some lovely small town with a paddy field and hills. Tousyogu, We Sendai, Kitayama, Kunimi, Kuzuoka, Rikuzen Ochiai, Kumagane, Sakunami, Oku Nikawa, Kougen, Yamadera, Takase, Tateyama, Uzen Chitose, and until we Yamagata Yamagata became the way the fine eye.

From the train station, there is bus transportation provided, with a ticket price of 100 yen, to get around the small town of Yamagata.
There's one of the most crowded places visited by the public, called Nanoka-machi, along about three kilometers. This road is the economic center and the administration of local government Yamagata. Government buildings and shops, together along the road this Nanoka-Machi.

In the surrounding streets-machi Nanoka there are many shopping centers everyday needs. Especially the need for food, clothing, and household goods. All products peddled goods, the prices vary widely. Moreover, after the documentary film festival was held, the city is more alive. All products are sold very unique, special to attract the visitors.

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

Another place is Bunshokan.
This place is an ancient building, which accommodates the European Renaissance buildings, plus a touch of Asia. What's interesting about this place is that we can find the background of social and political history in the city of Yamagata. Bunshokan age, as old as the history of the country sunrise. In the era of The Meiji dynasty, this place is used for educational activities, social activities and political activities. From the outside it seems strange that this building, let alone standing in a small town. However, when stepping into it, just an atmosphere of educational activities being conducted.

And in fact there are many other locations, which can be visited around the city of Yamagata. From the information that can be obtained, there were some unique locations, namely Yosiaki Mogami history museum founded by the eleventh king of the Castle Yamagata, who named Mogami Yoshiaki (1546-1614).

Or is there another place that can be reached by foot, ie Otemon Higashi, who is also an ever established by Mogami Yoshiaki. In the year 1991, this place has been renovated with funds amounting to 1.1 billion yen by the government Jepan. I was disappointed that theres no plenty of time to visit historic places ever founded and became the history of the city of Yamagata.

Maybe like a fairyland. Too much indeed. Because, in the city of Yamagata, there are so many historic buildings with such a high value. Since people still have a high awareness in order to maintain the buildings and historical heritage they possess.

Could be, keep the legacy of history, whatever its form, perhaps reflecting the ethos of a nation. Hopefully this is not too much. Impression that might arise in the minds of anyone who had visited Yamagata.
