[Yamagata] We went to Tendo, famous for producing shogi pieces!

Tendo City in Yamagata Prefecture is known for its shogi pieces. There are monuments and postboxes with shogi piece motifs in various places in the city, and it was a fun town just to walk around. The first statue of the king is located just outside Tendo Station. It is a large statue, and the characters are said to have been written by Mr. Habu, a famous professional shogi player. Next to it is a postbox in the shape of a shogi piece. On the road, there are lights in the shape of shogi pieces, and there are many shogi pieces everywhere, whether you look up or down. This is a town that shogi fans should definitely visit. #absolutelyfreetrip #yamagata #yamagatatourism #tendo
