This photo and the last one were taken in the same

This photo and the last one were taken in the same place, only a few months apart. Did you notice?

The new green of spring has well and truly made its arrival here on the Dewa Sanzan. The biggest difference between the Dewa Sanzan and other Shugendo mountains in Japan is that these mountains have been used for centuries to pray for a successful harvest for the surrounding Shonai region and other regions of Yamagata.

Rice farming in particular is out in full force at the moment, and the rice fields are starting to fill up with water straight from the Dewa Sanzan that give them the nutrients they require to feed Japan and other parts of the world.

This region is also known for its Sake of course! Including the new sake the @foofighters used in the promotion of their most recent album.

Winter on Mt. Haguro is an entirely different worl

Winter on Mt. Haguro is an entirely different world. Despite being right in the middle of snow country and surrounded by mountains that get way too much snow to be accessible, Mt. Haguro is low enough to be climbed throughout the year.

Pictured is the Shinkyo bridge over the Haraigawa river. The sunlight hitting the cedar tree is much more visible reflecting on the snow that falls off the leaves.

Be sure to check out dewasanzan.com/mthaguro to learn more about this majestic location.
