山形うわの温泉天神乃湯
Day-use onsen
👍👍 たまには違う温泉に行こうと思い行ったところ、地元の温泉とはまた違い天然鉱石の浴槽や露天風呂が良かったです
お風呂は内湯が1つに、露天が2つとなっています
露天の片方は天然トルマリン鉱石を浴槽に使っておりストレスなどに効果があるそうです
また、ロビーには飲める源泉があり全国でもめずらい場所となってます！

Yamagata Castle Ruins
Castle
😐 ["Nothing interesting to see other than the bridge over the dry moat and the gate, as the castle is in ruins (there is no visible structures or remnants to view as there is unkempt vegetation everywhere). You could probably pass this place or sprint through just to say you\u2019ve visited it. The pe...

Yamadera Bashō-kinenkan Museum
Museum
😠 Very small museum, and over priced for what there is there. It's up a hill, not worth the walk. Everything is only in Japanese.
The area is very nice, but I recommend spending more time on the hike and temples and shrines more than on the museums in this area.

Konponchudō, Rissyakuji
Buddhist temple
👍 登山口から登り最初に目にする、重要文化財に指定されている御堂です。お寺の本堂に当たる御堂で1356年に再建された…との事で、流石の風格を感じました。1200年消えていないという『不滅の法灯』が灯されている建物でもあります。
