ーHighlightsー


[Uesugi Shrine] Uesugi Shrine is located in Yonezawa City, Yamagata
Prefecture, Japan. It is a shrine dedicated to Kenshin Uesugi, a famous
general in the Warring States Period, and is also one of the most important
viewing spots in Yonezawa City. Uesugi Shrine is located in Matsugasaki Park
(formerly the ruins of Yonezawa Castle). The original main hall burned down
during the Taisho era, and the current main hall was rebuilt in 1923 based on
the design of Dr. Chuta Ito, a native of Yonezawa who is famous for designing
the Meiji Jingu Shrine and the Heian Jingu Shrine. In addition to the main
hall, the park also has related historical buildings such as the Shangshan
Memorial Hall, the statue of Shangshan Kenshin, and the statue of Shangshan
Yingshan. Visitors can stroll among them and experience the strong sense of
historical vicissitudes firsthand.


[Sake Brewery Museum Toko Sake Brewery] Yonezawa City, where the Toko Sake
Brewery Museum is located, has a 400-year-old brewery with abundant mountain
springs and excellent rice quality. It is a cold region, and the brewery can
operate at a stable low temperature, which is an ideal environment for
brewing. Kojima Sohonten, also known as "Toko", was established in 1597
(Keicho 2) as the official brewery of the Uesugi family of the Yonezawa
Domain. Not only can you learn about the brewing techniques and traditions of
Japanese craftsmen in the attached museum, but you can also taste Japanese
sake for free in the store, and taste high-quality and award-winning Japanese
sake that you can't usually buy at a reasonable price.


[Akutsu Hachiman Shrine and Historical Park] Centered around the three-story
pagoda of Akutsu Hachiman Shrine, the symbol of Takahata Town, and the Ukitamu
Fudoki-no-Oka Archaeological Museum, this park is a place where you can
experience nature and history through restored residences, ancient tombs,
farmland, and seasonal flowers. The three-story pagoda, dance hall, and main
shrine of Yakutsu Hachiman Shrine are designated cultural properties of
Yamagata Prefecture.


[Ikuwari Ishii Garden Park] An invisible internet celebrity check-in spot -
Ikuwari Ishii Garden Park. A strange sight. The steep rock wall is about 30
meters high. This space is reminiscent of ancient ruins and exudes an
otherworldly atmosphere. After passing through the tunnel of the quarry ruins,
you will come to a space surrounded by tall Takahata stones, which is also
used for imoni events and as a concert hall.
