Yamadera is a scenic temple located in the mountains northeast of Yamagata City in Japan’s Tohoku region. Founded over a thousand years ago, the temple grounds extend high up a mountainside from where there are great views down onto the valley. Yamadera, literally means “mountain temple” in Japanese, aptly named given its steep setting.
