Summer: Away from the heat, cool down at the mountainous regions of Yamagata
Visit Yamagata to enjoy the Summer without all the hassle of the heat and humidity.
The Risshakuji temple in the mountain of Yamagata is definitely one of the best view spots in the area. This temple was first built in the year 860 and is still a place where people come and worship.
As Matsuo Basho (a Japanese poet) read at this temple, the quietness just reminds you that you are surrounded by nature.
The area is loved by the locals and is famous as a summer resort.
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.
Autumn: Go to Tochigi to see the beautiful red leaves.
Autumn: Visit Tochigi to see the beautiful autumn colours.

Winter: Go skiing at Nagano and Niigata’s famous ski resorts
Hakuba in Nagano is well known for its ski resorts.
Nagano was also one of the locations that held the winter Olympics back in 1998.
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.
If you go to Niigata, make sure you see the illuminations at the APA resort. They hold a Guinness world record for "Largest LED sculpture" and "Largest water surface projection" and it's definitely worth looking at if you're there at the right season.
*The illuminations are on from Jun 22 – Aug 31 (from 18:00 – 23:00) and from Sep 1 – Nov 17 (17:00 – 22:00) this year. Check out their official webpage for further details. (Japanese Only)
