If you’re looking to travel somewhere in Japan beyond the usual major cities, you could do a lot worse than Yamagata — by which we mean, you should go. Like, as soon as possible. This beautiful, underrated prefecture in the Tohoku region is a real gem of a rural travel destination. Cultural heritage, natural beauty, fantastic food, traditional crafts, friendly locals — no matter your interest, Yamagata is almost certain to scratch that itch.
