I <3 Yamagata. I went there last year on my first trip to Japan (initially I was mostly interested in following Basho's steps) and it was a very pleasant surprise. In the city of Yamagata I had the kindest, most generous host and strolling through the quiet rural town strangely made me think of my Basque country hometown.

It’s great isn’t it?! Where did you go? Did you get to Haguro-san?
I went to Haguro, yes :)
Awesome, that’s our Dojo!
Love all of this, but especially the Totoro tree.
Thanks! A nice little surprise :)
