戸澤藩船番所で乗船券を購入し、坂を降りて、古口港から出発します。ここから草薙港まで、12kmの定期航路は通年営業で、冬でも乗船できます。基本的には船頭さんのお話を聞きながら、両岸の滝を眺め、のんびり川を下っていきますが、途中何箇所か流れが早い部分があり、スリルを楽しめます。しかし、川の水量によって、そのスリル度は異なるようです。今回は大雪の後で、水量が多く、スリルを楽しむ事が出来ました...

紅葉の見頃だと聞き、ロープウェイで標高1,350mの天元台高原まで登った。さらにリフト3本つないで1,820mまで登れるそうだが、上の斜面には雪が張り付いているし、結構な寒さなので眺めるだけにした。お目当ての紅葉ばあまりパッとしない。地元の人の話では「夏場に雨が多かったので今年はまったくダメ！」とのこと。期待通りにはいかなかったが、それでも下界では味わえない山の紅葉を楽しめた。

2泊3日旅行で銀山温泉行く途中寄ってきました。店内は、桃やブドウ‥が売られていたり、桃やブドウを使ったパフェ‥食べれるようになっている。今の季節は、ブドウ狩もやっているので、ブドウ狩の説明ビデオが流れていた。桃のパフェを食べましたか、果肉は、和歌山や岡山、山梨、福島と違って堅めだった。(アイスは美味しかったよ)山形の桃は果肉が堅めらしいが、馴染みないのか、ゴリゴリに感じるので、柔らかい方が好きです...

国道の横にビニールハウスが並んでいた。中に入り料金を払うとヘタ入れ用とのことで紙コップを貰い苺の棚へGO。棚は１Mほどの高さで棚の上に品種の表示があった。品種の数は７-８種類だろうか、表示を見ながら試食。イチゴ狩りのシーズンも終わりころの訪問だったからだろうか？食べることのできる苺はそこそこあるので問題ないのだが、時期を過ぎた苺がかなり残っていたことと、苺の粒が小さめであった...

枝分かれした杉の木がいくつも立っていて、本当に幻想的です。幹が裂けたものや、穴の開いたものなど、見ていて飽きません。森自体はウッドチップで整備されていますが、国道から細い砂利の林道を3キロぼど進む必要がります。基本すれ違いができないので車では行かない方が良いです。出かける前に土湯沢林道で通行可能かチェックしましょう。私が言ったのは、平日の昼頃でしたが、車３台、バイク１台と出会いました...

Although often overlooked, Yamagata prefecture by no means lacks appeal: the Yamadera temple trail through the mountains, deliciously tender Yonezawa wagyu, and over 100 steaming hot springs, most notably Zao Onsen, await visitors. When winter comes, the snowcapped peaks become dotted with skiers by day and onsen-goers by night, while summer brings the celebration of juicy Yamagata cherries.
