The Sagae Dam Observation Plaza offers stunning views of Lake Gassan, formed by the Sagae Dam. A highlight is the Lake Gassan Great Fountain, one of the tallest in Japan, operating from late April to mid-November. During this period, the fountain erupts multiple times daily. The plaza is easily accessible via the Yamagata Expressway (Gassan IC) and features rest areas and walking paths. It's a great spot to enjoy the scenery and learn about the dam's role in the region.
