About this listen

In this episode of THE KIMI KATO SHOW, we continue Kimi’s Japan Journey: 47 Prefectures Unraveled with a deep dive into Yamagata, a hidden gem of the Tohoku region. From snow-covered mountains and sacred temples to fruit-rich farmlands and legendary hot springs, Yamagata reveals a side of Japan shaped by seasons, spirituality, and craftsmanship. We explore iconic landmarks like Yamadera, Ginzan Onsen, and Zao’s Snow Monsters, trace the poetic legacy of Matsuo Basho, and unpack why Yamagata is known as Japan’s “Kingdom of Fruits.” The episode also highlights Yamagata’s cultural and musical influence, including producer Takeshi Kobayashi, alongside local artists and sounds that reflect the prefecture’s soul. Expect insights into regional cuisine such as Yonezawa beef, imoni, and cold ramen, as well as festivals like the vibrant Hanagasa Matsuri. A journey through nature, music, food, and tradition—this is Yamagata, unraveled. THE KIMI KATO SHOW Host: Kimi Kato Producer: Kimi Kato Executive Producer: Jeremiah D.
