Summer: Away from the heat, cool down at the mountainous regions of Yamagata

As Matsuo Basho (a Japanese poet) read at this temple, the quietness just reminds you that you are surrounded by nature.

Yamagata has beautiful mountains and clear water, plenty of onsens around the area.
The place is also famous for Shogi (the Japanese chess), and the whole town is full of Shogi related objects.

Winter: Go skiing at Nagano and Niigata’s famous ski resorts

Head to Nagano for the Hakuba ski resorts and if you're heading to Niigata, there's the Akakura ski resort and the Joetsu/ Myoko area as well.
