Situated in the northeastern part of Japan, Yamagata Prefecture is abundant in hot springs available around the prefecture. With snow in winter, snow-based leisure can be enjoyed in each area, including Zao which is famous for "snow monsters" (icicle-covered trees). The rich nature of the four seasons produces great food such as fruit, including cherries, of which the prefecture boasts the largest amount of production in Japan, as well as beef and rice. The combination of its clear water and climate produces unique "sake" rice wine besides genuine wine, both of which are becoming more popular in the world.
