Yamagata Prefecture is known as one of the prefectures with the most snowfall in Japan!

Yamagata Prefecture

One great way to enjoy Yamagata is the Yonezawa Uesugi Snow Lantern Festival, a unique event with the theme of peace, local exchange, and hospitality in Yonezawa City.

Scheduled to be held on 10 and 11 February 2024, step into a magical world illuminated with approximately 200 snow lanterns and 1000 snow lamps, all meticulously crafted by the locals! 

After wandering through this beautifully illuminated festival, take a break and savour local specialties like the piping hot Yonezawa Ramen and delectable beef skewers to complete your immersion into the snowy Yamagata Prefecture.
