Nanyo

Nanyo straddles the transition from the Okitama Basin to the foothills of the Ōu Mountains in southern Yamagata Prefecture, a position that has connected its communities with the wider inland plain. The modern city was created in 1967 through the merger of Akayu and Miyauchi towns with Wago village. Akayu Onsen remains a focal point, its hot-spring inns set below Eboshiyama Park, a noted local cherry-blossom spot in spring. In Miyauchi, Kumano Taisha is a prominent Shinto shrine that brings a long-standing religious presence to the city’s streets.
