Mount Hoju (Tateshi-ji Temple) is an ancient temple founded in 860 AD, famous for its 1015 stone steps, the ascent of which is considered a spiritual practice for purification. The temple houses the KonjÅ-chÅ«dÅ (Initial Central Hall), a National Important Cultural Property, the Eternal Lamp, and a golden statue of Amida Buddha. The Godai-dÅ (Five Great Halls) at the summit offer panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. It is also the site where the haiku master Matsuo BashÅ left his famous verses, imbuing the temple with history and Zen spirit.
The Michi no Eki/Tendo Onsen is one of the birthplaces of shogi culture. Visitors can watch demonstrations of the traditional shogi piece making process and gain a deeper understanding of this centuries-old Japanese craft.
The "Tento La France Factory," a dessert shop themed around Tendo's specialty French pears, allows visitors to savor the sweet flavors of Yamagata. The free foot bath "Koma no Yu" in the plaza adds a touch of relaxation to your trip.
Ginzan Onsen retains its retro charm from Japan's Taisho era, with romantic wooden inns lining both banks of the Ginzan River, creating a dreamlike atmosphere reminiscent of the anime "Spirited Away." Not only was it a health resort during the Edo period, but it's also considered the inspiration for the swordsmith village in "Demon Slayer." The street features foot baths, souvenir shops, and food stalls, allowing you to stroll and enjoy local delicacies like curry bread and standing tofu, experiencing the authentic charm of a hot spring town.
