Sakura Onsen
Tendo, nestled in central Yamagata Prefecture, is a town known for its relaxing onsen hotels and long-standing tradition of shogi (Japanese chess) piece production. Alongside its hot spring resorts, the town offers picturesque riverside cherry blossoms each spring, particularly along the Kuratsu River. Nearby, Tendo Park—set on a hilltop—provides panoramic views and is a prime hanami spot when its 2,000 sakura trees bloom.
