Yamagata Prefectural Museum

Museums

山形県立博物館

Yamagata Prefectural Museum stands in Kajo Park in central Yamagata City, within the former Yamagata Castle ninomaru area. Official outline pages describe three permanent rooms: rich nature and its blessings; history carved into Yamagata’s land—including archaeology, the Mogami River, three-mountain faith, and safflower; and modern changes in everyday life with local ceramics and folk toys.
