Yamadera in Yamagata｜A perfect energy spot for solo travelers.

Yamadera is an ideal destination for solo trips 🧘♀️. Although it has a thousand stone steps, they are surprisingly easy to climb. The scenic views along the way, combined with the fresh air, create a calming atmosphere 🍃. The locals are very friendly, and there are stalls at the foot of the mountain selling peaches and snacks 🍑. It's a good idea to recharge with some food before starting your climb. Once you reach the top, you'll be rewarded with a breathtaking view of Yamagata's landscape—totally worth it! There's also a souvenir shop at the summit where I bought a cat-shaped keychain 🐾. It's both adorable and practical ❤️. This trip truly felt like a journey to recharge my soul ✨.
