The Nature

Dewa Sanzan
Mount Haguro, Mount Gassan, and Mount Yudono are most sacred places in northern Japan and are
collectively known as Dewa Sanzan, meaning”Three Mountains of Dewa.”
The first temples were established 1,400 years ago and the mountains are still associated with Shugen-do, an ancient and very austere form of ascetic religion combining elements of both Shinto and Buddhism. When you walk through an approach lined with giant cedar trees, you will find a five-story pagoda, which is a national treasure. From there to the top of Mount Haguro, there are 2,446 stone steps flanked by 300-600 year old cedar trees. This cedar approach gained three stars in the Michelin Green Guide Japon 2009.

Tobishima Island
It takes 90 minutes from Sakata to Tobishima, the only isolated island of Yamagata Prefecture. It is 39 km off Sakata Port and still retains unsullied natural beauty. It takes about two hours to go around the island.
There are no traffic lights. As a stopping point for migratory birds, it is often crowded with migratory birds that fly north from the continent in spring and others that fly south in winter. You can enjoy fishing and sea bathing. Because a warm current flows nearby, the island is relatively warm and covered by evergreen broad-leaved trees throughout the year.

Mount Chokai
This picture was taken on the top of hotel one fine day.
Mount Chokai, an elegant mountain also called “Dewa Fuji”, grandly towers above the extensive Shonai plain.
Of course, You also can enjoy hiking and climbing.
