Maemori kogen
Maemori kogen is a huge outdoor recreation zone that has many activities that can be enjoyed by both young and old. Maemoni’s biggest attraction, however, is the beautiful panorama. A broad grass-covered plateau seems to spread out endlessly in all directions, ringed by the dark green of the heavily forested mountains and crowned by a deep blue sky.
Taking in this beautiful panorama will soothe your nerves and calm your heart.
In addition, you will enjoy the many fine facilities and broad menu of experiences that a wait your visit. Horseback the testing riding is perhaps the most popular attraction, with city dwelling horse loves coming back again and again.
The important cultural property house Basyo – Matsuo stayed here 2 nights.
“HOJIN NO IE”
(An Important Cultural Property originally owned by the Ariji family)
As depicted in the famous travel novel “The Narrow Road to the Deep North”, after Basho and Sora crossed the Shitomae Barrier, which belonged to Sendai’s Date clan, they crossed the border into what is now Yamagata, and requested lodging for two nights at the border guard’s home, the “Hojin no le”. Only a few minutes’ walk from JR Sakaida Station, the home takes you back to an age in which horses and humans lived together under the samethatched roof. The building was designated an Important Cultural Property in 1969, and Caten converäng one of the rooms into an exhibition space, was opened to the public in theyear 2000.
THE SAKAID WATERSHED
The Oou Mountain Range is the backbone of the Tohoku region, forming a giant watershedpass between Eastern and Western Japan, and with a height of 338 meters above sea level, it is the second lowest of all the villages in Japan that are located on the watershed. Right in front of Sakaida Station is an agricultural water supply culvert that splits in two, with one branch emptying into Pacific Ocean in the east and the other draining into the Sea of Japan in the West. A very rare sight indeed!

One on many Yamagata local religious traditions. Even today, many pilgrims make this arduous tour each year.
