    Yamagata Pref. Yonezawashi Marunouchi 1-4-13
    A Shinto shrine located in Marunouchi, Yonezawa City, Yamagata Prefecture. The shrine is dedicated to Uesugi Kenshin, a famous commander during the Warring States period and ancestor of the future lord of Yonezawa Domain. The shrine was built on the site of Yonezawa Castle in 1876 and designated an Imperial Shrine of Special Status in 1902. The shrine was destroyed in the Great Yonezawa Fire in 1919; the current buildings were reconstructed in 1923, and visitors can view the beautiful Japanese architecture of the shrine’s main shrine and front shrine. Treasures passed down in the Uesugi clan are kept in the shrine’s Keishoden hall, and many tourists come to view them year round.

    上杉景勝、直江兼続の甲冑は迫力があり、これらは見応え十分。 しかし、展示物が少ない。 良いにしようか、普通にしようか迷いつつ、展示物の少なさが頭にちらつくと後者の評価に。

    Yamagata Pref. Yonezawashi Marunouchi 1-1
    This shrine is located across from the Yonezawa castle remains in Marunouchi, Yonezawa City. Uesugi Youzan, the chief of the historic Yonezawa clan, is enshrined here as well as Uesugi Kagekatsu and Naoe Kanetsugu. The primary annual festivals are in April and September. The April festival draws many worshipers and visitors, as it falls during the local major Yonezawa Uesugi Festival.

    As one walks up to the main entrance to the Uesugi Shrine, there is a shrine off to the right. It is worth a few minutes to visit, either before or after visiting the main event.

    Yamagata Pref. Nanyoushi Miyauchi 3476-1
    This is approximately a 13 minute walk from Miyauchi Station and is one of three Kumano Shrines in Japan. Boasting more than 1,200 years of reconstruction, also called the Ise Shrine of the Tohoku region, the worship hall is the oldest thatched roof building in the prefecture. Kumano Ogami (Great Diety) is the god of “unification” and is a diety that brings the benefits of “marriage,” and many worshippers visit the shrine as a marriage power spot. Also, it is believed that if you find three hidden rabbits carved on the back of the main hall without assistance, your “prayers will come true” and you will “be happy.” Amulets of cute rabbits etc are available at the reception.

The earliest building is said to be the Amida Hall, built in the year 860 by Jikaku Daishi (Ennin). The stone-paved approach lined with trees and the three-story pagoda that has become the town’s symbol, are a memorable sight. Along the approach is a building with a thatched roof that serves as a performance venue for the ancient dance form known as Bugaku. The variety known as Yamato-Mai is performed every year on May 3, and the variety known as Ennen-no-Mai is performed on September 15. The thatched building is a representative of of the Edo Period (1615-1868) and has been designated a Prefectural Cultural Property. In autumn, the brilliant red leaves of the trees on the site provide many attractive photo opportunities.

    Yamagata Nanyo-shi Akayu 1415

    温泉街から続く石段を登ると参道に大きな石造りの大鳥居がある。明治後期に境内背後から切り出した凝灰岩で作られたもので、継ぎ目が無い石造の鳥居としては日本一の大きさだそうだ。大鳥居をくぐってさらに石段を上がるとインパクトのある阿吽の狛犬が出迎えてくれる。その奥が拝殿となっている。境内右に、高さ3m重さ10数トンの磨崖板碑といわれる烏帽子岩があり、表面に7つの彫り込みが確認できる。公園の地名も神社名もこ...

    山形鉄道フラワー長井線の今泉駅から徒歩10分弱。境内入口には奉納された赤い幟が立ち並んでいる。創建年不明。祭神は宇迦之御魂大神。社殿は民家(宮司宅？)に隣接しており、参拝するのがちょっと憚られる。近年整備されたのであろう、鳥居、社殿、石灯籠など全てが真新しかった。

Yamagata Areas

around-area-map

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.
