Yamagata is known for its rich natural environment as well as the history and culture which has been passed down with pride by the local people. As you stroll through Yamagata and enjoy these elements, perhaps you can also stop by our prefectural museum or other cultural facilities, where you can encounter a 4700-year-old clay goddess, view a helmet worn by the daimyo Mogami Yoshiaki some 400 years ago, gaze upon historic buildings erected in the early 20th century, and experience many of the other cultural offerings of the Yamagata region.
