Akayu, Nan'yō
Akayu, Nan'yō is a district in the city of Nanyo, Yamagata, Japan. Akayu is most famous for Akayu Onsen (赤湯温泉), a series of ryokan famed for their natural hot-springs which are believed to have medicinal properties. The town's name, which is literally translated as "red hot water", derives from a story in 1093. It is said that the feudal chief of Tohoku, Minamoto no Yoshitsuna took a wounded soldier to a hot spring bath. His blood immediately turned the water red and the wound closed.
Miyauchi, Nan'yō
Miyauchi, Nan'yō is a district in Nanyo, Yamagata, Japan. The former town of Miyauchi merged with Akayu and Wago village in 1967 to form the city of Nanyo. The two kanji characters that form the name Miyauchi literally mean "shinto shrine" and "inside". The shinto Kumano-taisha Shrine is one of the three great Kumano Shrines in Japan, whose origins date back to the 9th century.
Kumano Shrine (Yamagata)
is a historic shinto shrine in Miyauchi in the city of Nan'yō, Yamagata, Japan. It dates from the 9th century, and is one of only three large Kumano shrines in Japan. The shrine is located on a small mountain in the district of Miyauchi in Nanyo. Two main features of the shrine are a giant tree which locals believe to be several hundred years old, and a traditional tsurigane bell. The bell is unique because during World War II, most large iron bells in Japan were melted down for their material.
Nakagawa, Nan'yō, Yamagata
Nakagawa, Nan'yō, Yamagata is a district in the city of Nan'yō, Yamagata, Japan. The two kanji characters that form the name "nakagawa" mean "inside" or "medium" (size) and "river".
