So when we met up with FredBear and MrTam, we whizzed for about 300 kilometres before reaching Yamagata prefecture. In this place first we went to this old forgotten city/citadel, which had a real moat and everything. It also had some statues as you can see below. This place was really Japanese and it kind of reminded you of how living in the samurai era would be, as this would be a whole village/city for one clan. Just like a Naruto village !





After this we rushed up a snowy mountain hoping to see some frozen tree spectacle that would be lighted up at night only to learn that they had all melted in the unexpected warm weather so there would be no point. Disappointed, we stopped at a coffee house and had coffee and cake before driving to our accomodation for the night.



As you can see, it makes a very grand spectacle. It is just a teeny tiny little village made of about 10 resorts with about 10 rooms each. They span each side of a mountain river and there are bridges every few metres. Being a tiny village high up on the mountain, it was great how fresh the air was and it was so breathtakingly beautiful.
