Whatever the religion or whoever they're dedicated to, shrines have a way of making you contemplative. Visit Yamagata Shrine and share a quiet moment with the locals.
This sacred place is often on the itineraries of travelers to Kai. But Yamagata Shrine isn't the area's only highlight. Kose Sports Park, Takeda Shrine, and Yamanashi Prefectural Museum of Art are some other worthwhile sights nearby.
