Tendo

Tendo sits in the Yamagata Basin in Japan’s Yamagata Prefecture, where the Ōu Mountains rise beyond a broad plain of orchards and rice fields. The city is closely associated with shogi: its workshops produce the carved wooden pieces used for Japan’s traditional strategy game, and a life-size human shogi match is staged at Maizuru Park each spring. The park stands on the site of Tendo Castle, adding a historical note to the town’s hillside setting. Tendo Onsen provides another established side of the city, while local cherries and pears reflect the basin’s farming economy.
