After arriving in Yamagata City, head for the hills with a local innkeeper-cum-chef to forage for fresh, naturally grown ingredients before returning to the the inn and transforming your haul into an sumptuous feast for the senses.

In the Dewa Sanzan mountains, meet a Yamabushi priest to walk along weathered stone paths leading to a historic, mountaintop temple lodge. Enjoy a dinner of ‘sansai ryori’, a distinctive local cuisine that makes expert use of Yamagata’s wide variety of wild mountain vegetables.
