Hi, I’m Tabi!

Start around Aterazawa Station and consider a separate visit to the hill overlooking the Mogami River. Check the distance, slopes and return transport first.

This guide covers places within Ōe, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

Aterazawa Station

左沢駅

The town’s station is written 左沢 and read Aterazawa. Its exterior photograph dates from 2023. Check current services and your return train, keep passenger paths clear and never enter the tracks.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02

A first-visit stop

Aterazawa Tateyama Castle Historic Park

左沢楯山城史跡公園

A hilltop castle-site park overlooking the river and town. Do not expect a surviving castle building. Check slopes, weather, wildlife and restrictions, and stay on designated paths.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Ōe is one of Yamagata’s plum-producing areas. Fresh fruit is mainly harvested from summer into early autumn; check availability, processed products and ingredients rather than assuming fresh plums are in stock now.
