Best of Japan: Snow Temple in Yamadera

Yamadera, literally means 'Mountain Temple', is one of the best destinations to represent the traditions and beauty of Japanese culture and nature. It's located in the mountains in Yamagata, North eastern part of Japan. It's found over 1000 years ago and still an important temple for people to worship. In winter, it is covered by heavy snow. People can walk up 1000 steps in snow shoes and enjoy the spectacular views of the typical traditional Japan villages and mountains. #yamadera #yamagata #japan #山寺 #山形 #日本 #getgoing2025
