Notes

A beautiful and bucolic rural setting once ruled by a famous samurai, Yonezawa lies at the southern end of Yamagata prefecture and was once the domain of the powerful Uesugi clan in the 17th century. Rich in history, Yonezawa is also known for traditional cloth weaving, sake brewing, and nationally renowned beef. In the heart of the city lie the ruins of Yonezawa Castle, with rows of old houses and a traditional samurai residence, alongside the Uesugi Shrine dedicated to the distinguished warrior Uesugi Kenshin.
