Tsuruoka

Tsuruoka occupies the Shōnai Plain on the Sea of Japan coast in northern Japan. It is the largest city in Yamagata Prefecture by area, extending from fertile rice country to a long shoreline and the forested Dewa Mountains. The sacred Dewa Sanzan—Mount Haguro, Mount Gassan and Mount Yudono—have drawn pilgrims for centuries; the five-storey pagoda at Haguro is a National Treasure. The Shōnai region’s food culture is closely tied to rice, vegetables and seafood from the Sea of Japan, while Kamo Aquarium is known for its extensive jellyfish displays.
