| Fruit Kingdom |
the city with the highest cherry production in Japan |
|
|
Yamagata Prefecture's cherry cultivation area accounts for about 60% of
the nation's total, and its cherry production accounts for 70% of the nation's
total. Higashine City, in particular, boasts about 20% of the nation's
total production, making it the number one city in Japan. Cherries are
cultivated in large quantities because of the climate, which is suitable
for growing cherries, with hot summers, little rain during the rainy season,
and little wind. The most delicious cherry variety is Sato Nishiki, so
about 80% of farmers produce Sato Nishiki cherries. Higashine City, which
declared itself the Fruit Kingdom in 1994, also produces peaches, grapes,
and Japanese pears in August. Apples and La France are harvested from September
to November. . |

| KUROBUSHI Kogen Snow Park JANGLE-JUNGLE |
a ski resort with 100% natural snow |
|
|
|
This ski resort faces Mt. Kurobushi and has a wide variety of 100% natural powder snow. Enjoy skiing in snow that combines the snowfall from the Sea of Japan side with the powder snow from inland. Everyone from beginners to advanced skiers can enjoy it at once.
The slope faces north, and directly in front of it stands Mt. Kurobushi, one of the leading rock climbing spots at Tohoku region. Although the resort is not high in altitude, it is located in a valley where seasonal winds blow in from Mt. Gassan, so it receives a large amount of snowfall compared to other ski resorts in the prefecture. |
