Hands-on Exciting and Exploring Tour in Sakata (6.5 Hours)

  Shinjo Festival is registered as a UNESCO Intangible World Cultural Heritage along with Japan’s 32 festivals featuring floats. If you are interested in float festivals, this is a must-see in Japan.You can not only observe the spectacular floats, but also experience the atmosphere of the festival, wearing a ”happy” coat and performing the ” hayashi” music. In fact the festival is held from August 24th to 26th every year. This tour takes you to the spots and facilities related to it.

  Also  you can enjoy an exciting boatride down the swift Mogami River (the 8th longest in Japan, about 230 kms) , which runs through  Yamagata-ken only. Matsuo Basho, haiku (17-syllabled peom) master took the same trip about 400 years ago and  wrote a world-famous haiku, which read:  Flowing  so swiftly, Gathering  early summer rains; the Mogami River.  Why not try making your own haiku on a boat?

 Lastly, definitely  you 'd like to visit "Genso-no-mori",  which literally means " Fantasy  Forest".  We can see and hike around a lot of one-thoudand-year-old funny-shaped cedar trees. The  strange curves are said to have been caused by an annual heavy  snowfall, which is usually more than 3-to-4-meter deep.

 Yamagata is famous for its heavy snowfall, and this region (Tsunokawa, Tozawa village) has about 3-meter-deep snow every winter.  I'd like all the tourists to make the most of this tremendous amount of snow and go through hands-on experiences with this "White Monster". 
 As your fun and fabulous activities,  we've prepared two things in connection with the snow. First, digging the winter vegetables (traditional  Tsunokawa "Kabu" turnips) out of the accumulated snow. Second, with these ingredients cooking  local food "Natto-jiru" (Natto-based miso soup with lots of vegetables) and "Onigiri " rice balls making.  Why not enjoy your own cuisine with us? Lastly you'd like to visit one of our  sightseeing hotspots, a boatride down the Mogami River. If you are lucky, you can happen to take a  "Kotatsu"(a foot warmer with a quilt all over)-installed boat and warm yourself in it.  From your boat you can appreciate marvelous and magnificent scenery of snow-capped cedar forests  on both sides right in front of your eyes!  It sure is a must-see you can't miss when you visit Yamagata.
