Destination of the week: Yamagata! π―π΅
The Yamadera (Mountain Temple) in Yamagata, also known as the Risshakuji Temple, is great for travelers who like immersing in history and culture and can handle climbing up 1,000 steps of stairs! The temple was founded over a thousand years ago in 860 as a temple of the Tendai sect.
