Overview

  • This is the ideal tour for travellers wanting to discover the highlights of Yamagata efficiently, in a private vehicle accompanied by a government-licensed, English-speaking guide!

    Yamagata is a land of mountains, temples and hot springs in northern Japan. Climb the stone steps of Yamadera, the dramatic clifftop temple immortalised by the poet Basho, and explore the city at Kajo Park, the former castle grounds, and the elegant Bunshokan building. Soak up the nostalgic charm of Ginzan Onsen, a gas-lit hot-spring town of wooden inns, take in the mountain scenery of Zao, and enjoy views along the swift Mogami River. History lovers can visit hilltop Kaminoyama Castle and the fine Yamagata Museum of Art.

    We welcome you to come and explore the unique nature, history and hospitality of Yamagata with us!

    Note*1: The National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter certification is issued by the Japanese government and requires a good knowledge and understanding of Japanese culture and history.
