Outline of Yamagata Prefecture:

Yamagata Prefecture is one of Japan’s heaviest snowfall areas, making it a naturally blessed snow holiday destination just 2.5 hours north of Tokyo by bullet train. Some 16,000 hectares of the prefecture are national parks and other natural reserve areas, with some stunning scenery that melts from the white of winter to lush greenery in summer, flaring with vibrant red and gold in autumn.
