Kaminoyama Onsen

The Perfect Place for A Leisurely Day Trip and Sightseeing
Kaminoyama city is located in Yamagata prefecture at the North-east of Japan. This city is located at the foot of Zao mountain range, and has been serving a number of tourists as a popular castle town and a hot spring town.

Kaminoyama Onsen was discovered about 560 years ago in the southern part of Yamagata. It is well-known as a castle town at the foot of Kaminoyama Castle and as a prosperous inn town on the Ushu Highway during Edo times. There are many samurai residences and old houses that are reminiscent of those days as well as many other interesting sights.

Taking a stroll through this old castle town, sampling its famous konjac cuisine, and perhaps a luxurious soak in a hot spring at night are treats that will await you in this city unique even in Japan for the three roles it played as a castle town, ryokan inn town, and hot spring town; the perfect place for a leisurely day trip and sightseeing.
