2025 Tsuruoka Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

When I learned that it is one of the 'Three Mountains of Dewa' and a sacred mountain in the hearts of the Japanese, I decided to visit. This pilgrimage path has over 2,000 steps, but it is not particularly steep. Along the way, you can see thousand-year-old cedar trees, a black five-story pagoda, small bridges, and flowing streams. Out of respect, visitors do not make loud noises, allowing for a moment of tranquility. 📍Address: Haguromachi, Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture 🚗 Transportation: Get off at JR Tsuruoka Station and take a bus to Mount Haguro, getting off at Suginomori Gate.

[Tsuruoka City Kamo Aquarium] "Kamo-sui" for short Amazing variety of jellyfish! 💡 Interesting tanks continue one after another, including jellyfish with a yellow color that I've never seen before and jellyfish with countless thread-like antennae♪ The exhibition room with a large tank called "Kuranetarium" is fantastic, and it feels like you're with jellyfish in the sea👏 They also focus on breeding jellyfish, and you can look at baby jellyfish under a microscope. There are also fish exhibits, so even adults can enjoy it♪ Jellyfish ramen and jellyfish ice cream are on the menu at the restaurant with a view of the sea😊 Because it's a municipal aquarium, the low prices are also attractive⭐️ Adults 1500 yen, elementary and junior high school students 500 yen. Wow! Annual pass is 3000 yen for adults and 1250 yen for elementary and junior high school students! If you live nearby, this is a wonderful aquarium you'll want to visit regularly❤️ 📍Address: 657-1 Imaizumi Okubo, Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture 🕰️Opening hours: 9am - 5pm #Tsuruoka #Yamagata #Yamagata trip #0 yen trip November

#AccommodationReview I took a whirlwind solo trip to Shonai, Yamagata Prefecture for the first time in a while🌾 I stayed at SHONAI HOTEL SUIDEN TERRASSE, which I often see in magazines' hotel features🙌 This hotel is a hot topic because it was designed by architect Shigeru Ban☺️💗 The renovated sauna is popular among sauna lovers!! You can do self-loyly, and bathing in the open air feels great✨ I highly recommend it for sauna lovers🥺❤️ The library also had an excellent selection and was well-stocked! You can bring books to your room, so it was nice to be able to read lots of books🥰 The food was also delicious, mainly using ingredients from Shonai🍽 It's a really nice hotel, so I recommend dropping in when you feel like going somewhere for a bit! I think this is a hotel that can be used as a travel destination😊 I also recommend it for solo travelers🫶 🏨 Hotel informationHotel name: SHONAI HOTEL SUIDEN TERRASSEAddress: 23-1 Shimotorinosu, Pekinda, Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture #trip_sauna #solotravel #hocance #hotelstay #yamagata #hotspring

♨️Wenhai Hot Spring Bankuoya♨️ We stayed in a room with an open-air bath that flowed directly from the source. From the moment you enter the hotel you will feel like you are in a luxury hotel. Although it is not a new hotel, it does not feel old. The abalone for dinner was very satisfying. Also the Yamagata beef shabu shabu was delicious and after filling up on rice I was full. The sea bream rice for breakfast was also delicious.

A hotel built on water. The rooms are compactly designed, with even the air conditioner hidden inside the walls. Outside the window you can see the water, with fine waves swaying in the breeze. The hotel built on top of that is just fantastic. Furthermore, the interior of the hotel is like a library, with many books lined up. The food is gentle and made with local ingredients. This is a hotel that everyone should know about. #breathtakingview#hotspringtrip

In the spring cherry blossom season, take a self-driving trip to Murakami City, slowly driving along the 2-kilometer cherry blossom tunnel on the Arakawa embankment. The falling pink snowflakes on the car window resemble special filter effects. While parking and strolling, you may encounter elderly women in kimonos who will hand you homemade sakura mochi, saying 'Young people should be happy.' For lunch, savor the dreamy Murakami beef at the century-old restaurant 'Itoya,' where charcoal-grilled beef tongue is sprinkled with sansho pepper, and the aroma of the fat mixes with the falling cherry blossoms. On the way back, detour to the Five-Story Pagoda on Mount Haguro and ring the bell of happiness at dusk.

I've always wanted to visit Shigeru Ban's Suiden Terrace. The building is only reflected in the rice paddies like a mirror for a short period of time each year, and recently, the period when the water is filled has been shortened to be more environmentally friendly. ⁡ Winter in Yamagata is, of course, cold, but the inside of the building is warm despite the many windows, and the warmth of the wood makes it a relaxing place. The exterior has a symmetrical look that architecture lovers love, and I really liked how it blends in with the rice paddies and fits in with the scenery. #DomesticTravelTrip

There are long stairs, but I want to go again.

#japantrip About 30 minutes by bus from Tsuruoka Station. On the way, you will pass Kamo Aquarium. If you are coming by express bus from Sendai, it is better to get off at Shonai Kanko Bussankan and change trains as it is closer and faster. ■BuildingThe facade is majestic. The inside is pure Japanese style.Furnishings that have been used in the past are scattered throughout the building as a design feature.overall is awesome

Located at the center of the summit of Mt. Haguro, the Sanjin Gosaiden is where the three mountain gods of Mt. Haguro, Mt. Gassan, and Mt. Yudono are enshrined. The unique landscape of the temple in the vast mountains around it is the architecture arranged according to the natural terrain. The current shrine was rebuilt in 1818 during the Edo period. This is a precious thatched wooden structure that retains its medieval history, such as the long floorboards where yamabushi (ascetics) lived. It was designated as an important cultural property in 2001. #2024TravelReview

Kotohiraso in Tsuruoka, Yamagata Prefecture, is a super popular restaurant that attracts ramen lovers from all over the country. Located on the coast, access by car is essential. On the day of our visit, we received a numbered ticket and then headed to the waiting room. We waited for a whopping two hours while relaxing in the Japanese-style room called the waiting room! We overcame the seemingly endless wait with enthusiasm for Kotohiraso's Chinese noodles. The Chinese noodles served to us had a distinctive light soup. With a fragrant seafood flavor, it was a bowl that truly made us feel the "taste of the sea." The balance of the soft, curly noodles and the soup was exquisite, and it was so delicious that we thought it was worth the wait! A famous ramen spot in Yamagata that is worth visiting if you have time. We hope you will try this exquisite Chinese noodles at least once. #0yentravelNovember #Yamagata

#AccommodationTravelRecord Suiden Terrace is a hotel that floats over the rice fields, blending in with the surrounding mountains and rural scenery. Designed by world-renowned architect Shigeru Ban, it is designed so that you can feel the presence of the rice fields no matter where you are. I stayed in a Rural View Hollywood Twin Room. It was a simple and comfortable space that made use of the warmth of wood. I ate at the restaurant Moon Terrace. In an open space overlooking Mt. Gassan, you can experience the food of Shonai Yamagata throughout the year. You can also enjoy the lounge, which is equipped with a server where you can enjoy local sake and wine from Shonai Yamagata by yourself. At the spa, you can relieve your daily fatigue with natural hot spring water and a Finnish sauna.

✵ Yamagata Prefecture 2024.01 A fantastic spot you can't miss in Yamagata! An aquarium famous for its jellyfish tanks 🪼 When I went there during Golden Week five years ago, it was super crowded, so this time I went at the same time as it opened on a weekday lol The large jellyfish tank is impressive no matter how many times I see it...

The world's best jellyfish aquarium in Tsuruoka, Yamagata Prefecture. They have the largest amount of jellyfish in the world🪼 The countless small jellyfish swimming in the round tank are a spectacular sight. It's a popular photo spot on social media. Many people just want to enjoy the tank, so be quick and quiet when taking photos. It was really surreal to see Naomi the seal rubbing her nose in the tank for the rest of her life🤣 She's apparently rubbing her nose today too🦭 . . 📍Kamo Aquarium 🗺️Yamagata, Japan 🚗25 minutes from Tsuruoka Station 🕑9:00-17:00 💰¥1000 #Aquarium2024 #100TravelStyles #YamagataPrefecture

After arriving in Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture, in northeastern Japan, we first visited the Kamo Aquarium, which is famous for its jellyfish. The aquarium is located south of Yunohama Beach, the most popular beach in the area. The aquarium has more than 60 types of jellyfish, including various glowing jellyfish and colorful jellyfish, as well as the world's largest jellyfish species. It's like a dreamy underwater world, and it feels like you're wandering on an alien planet. The jellyfish emit colorful lights, as if they have a spirit, dancing to attract our attention. We then came to Mt. Haguro, one of the Three Mountains of Dewa (Mt. Gassan, Mt. Haguro, and Mt. Yudono). There is a five-story pagoda that is designated as a national treasure, which was under maintenance when we visited. At the top of the mountain, there is a Three Gods Shrine, which is designated as a national important cultural property, and enshrines the three gods of Mt. Gassan, Mt. Haguro, and Mt. Yudono. The cedar trees on both sides of the stone steps are very lush, and it feels like you're walking into a secret realm. Among Japan's mountain beliefs, the Three Mountains of Dewa have the longest history, and many devout believers still come to worship. In the evening, we stayed at the Kameya Ryokan, a very design-conscious hotel. Each room has a different design, and the creativity always surprises us. Dinner was the famous kaiseki cuisine. The chopsticks used were very special, with pointed ends on both sides, symbolizing that the gods and us are having dinner together. I like the waiting between each dish, which allows me to savor the taste of the previous dish and look forward to the next one. Kaiseki means that the saint is regarded as jade, and I really feel that I have been spoiled. We can find a slow life philosophy in kaiseki cuisine. By carefully feeling the ingredients, respecting the craftsmanship, and awe of nature, we can make our daily life more calm, simple, and indifferent, with quality and connotation.

#FuriTabi There are three steep slopes on the stone steps leading to Mt. Haguro. The steepest of them all is Ninozaka! (Also known as the Oil-Overflowing Slope) At the top of Ninozaka is Ninozaka Chaya🍵💓It's a great place to be when you're tired😭💗We recommend taking a break while looking out at the Shonai Plain and regaining your energy to climb the rest of the path💪🔥The view from the open space is spectacular! 🍽Store information━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Store name: Ninozaka ChayaAddress: 33, Temukai-Haguroyama, Haguro-cho, Tsuruoka-shi, YamagataRecommended menu: The specialty is Chikara-mochi #Mt.
