Whatever the religion or whoever they're devoted to, shrines have a way of making you contemplative. Visit Horetsu Shrine and share a silent moment with the local faithful.
Horetsu Shrine is a worthwhile place to begin your day of discovery in Yamagata. This sacred place comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Set aside time for other sights like Lina World, Yamagata Castle, and Kajo Park to fully experience what's on offer in the area.
