A relaxing drive along Yamagata’s Mogami River following in the footsteps of the great poet Matsuo Basho

Only 40 minutes by car from Yamagata Station is the prefecture’s most popular scenic spot. From a famous “yamadera,” or mountain temple, you can look down onto Mogami River and Japan’s largest set of rapids. This relaxing drive plan takes you through some stunning nature while following in the footsteps of Japan’s greatest haiku poet, Matsuo Basho (1644–1694). And, of course, there’s lots of great food along the way.

    Immortalized by Matsuo Basho’s famous phrase “oku no hosomichi," Yamagata’s most famous scenic place is the mountain temple of Tateishi-ji. Climb the 1,015 stone steps to the top and you’ll find Godaido, a platform-like temple building from where you can admire the spectacular views. On your return, enjoy a stroll through the old town that connects the temple with the railway station.

    This well-known, old-fashioned confectionary store can be found on the road leading to the temple. Here, you can buy morokoshi, a style of confectionary branded with “yamadera” characters. They make excellent souvenirs. Each morokoshi is handmade and crumbles in the mouth with freshness.

    For lunch, drop by Arakisoba, which has been in business since 1920 and is steeped in tradition. The building itself is a family house from the late Edo era (1603-1868) complete with thatched roof and open hearth. Arakisoba offers only one dish—the Yamagata specialty of “itasoba.” The thick, firm soba noodles simmered in herring miso soup and served with seasonal vegetables are not to be missed.

    Take a break from driving and board a sightseeing boat for a trip down Mogami River. From the deck of the boat, you can enjoy the scenery whatever the season while listening to the boatman’s many interesting stories. He may even sing for you. Togawa Shrine, or Sennindo, at the end of the cruise is a place of interest as there is an account of Basho’s “oku no hosomichi.”

    Back in the car, your next destination is a tofu maker halfway up the river. It’s here that the famous Senbon dango rice dumplings are sold. The old woman who runs the place insists on using no additives in her dumplings, which are all made on the day. Be sure to taste at least one.
