Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture
The five-storied pagoda at the approach to Haguroyama Mountain
flourished as a place for mountain ascetic practices.
It was designated as a national treasure in 1966.
In the Tohoku region it is the oldest pagoda.
The appearing scenery of the five-storied pagoda covered by a blanket
of snow at the approch is really overwhelming.
This is the place you must visit once.
