- Tachiyazawa area
Tachiyazawa, an area of clear waters, history, and beauty.
This area comprises the southeastern part of Shonai Town. It has clear streams stretching from Mt. Gassan in the north to the Tachiyazawa River basin. Until the Edo period, the area was also busy as the main approach for the pilgrimage to the Three Mountains of Dewa. The recently improved Ancient Haguro Road can be used to climb Mt. Haguro.
