Yamagata: do you know this place? Have a look at the map of Japan and try to find it on the Western coast of Honshu Island. If you don't seem to find it, then maybe this is because there are no big cities here. Yamagata truly is the Japanese countryside in every sense. It might be inconvenient for you to come here but please come to Yamagata when you want to be calm and relaxed. Peaceful people are waiting for you with a big smile! To those who love the countryside and who love nature: you are very welcome! Did you notice that the shape of Yamagata Prefecture from a side angle looks like a smiling face?
