<p>Yamagata  has much to offer both the domestic and the international traveler. The  forms of the Japan of the past can still be seen here, along with  everything that modern Japan has to offer. Alongside the cultural  offerings&nbsp;here exists the great natural beauty of the area, replete with  mountains, forests, hot springs, streams, and valleys that are ideal  for hiking, skiing, and other outdoor activities.</p>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><span>In order to experience everything that </span>Yamagata  has for travelers, one must first make their way here. Fortunately,  getting here is a snap. Yamagata has two airports, one near Yamagata  City and another on the Shonai seacoast, allowing for easy travel from  the countries' other major airports. Yamagata is also served by the  Yamagata Shinkansen, or bullet train, that runs from Tokyo through  Yamagata City and up to the northern city of Shinjo. For those who  prefer to drive, Yamagata also has expressways and an extensive road  network.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<p>Yamagata Prefecture can be divided into  four areas: Mogami, Murayama, Okitama, and Shonai. Each of the different  areas has a charm of their own. For more detailed information about  these different parts of Yamagata and what you can do there, follow the  links below.<br />
