[Yamagata] If you want to learn about the history of Yonezawa, visit Yonezawa Castle!

It was Uesugi Yozan who developed and developed the town of Yonezawa. Matsugamine Park is where he is enshrined and remains as the site of Yonezawa Castle. This park also has Uesugi Shrine, a statue of Uesugi Yozan, and a museum. It is a place where you can see how much Uesugi Yozan is loved and cherished in Yonezawa. The grounds are lush with greenery, with shade and lawns, making it a fun park to visit on the weekends. There are also cafes and restaurants, so it is recommended to spend a relaxing day here! This is a must-visit spot for people who love history or want to learn more about Yonezawa. It is about a 30-minute walk from Yonezawa Station, so I recommend taking the bus! #absolutelyfreetrip #Yamagata #Yamagatatourism

Lotus pond Lotus flowers are abundant in the northwest part of the moat around Matsugasaki Park and Uesugi Shrine! I thought that lotuses bloom from mid-June to early August, but depending on the location and climate, they were in full bloom even in late August. I also thought that the best time to see lotus flowers was in the morning, but I was able to see many flowers even during the lunch hour. You can get quite close to see them. The address of Matsugasaki Park and Uesugi Shrine is Marunouchi 1-chome, Yonezawa City, Yamagata Prefecture. It is about 23 minutes from Minami Yonezawa Station and 27 minutes from Yonezawa Station. #Yamagata #Yonezawa #Summer trip #Hanami
