Nagai City, located in southern Yamagata Prefecture, is known as a town of water, greenery, and flowers, retaining the charm of a merchant town that once flourished as a strategic point for Mogami River boat transport. Pure water channels wind through the city, and the landscape is graced with seasonal flowers, including the Kubo-zakura of Isazawa, a cherry tree over 1,000 years old, and Ayame Park, where one million irises of 500 varieties bloom. Strolling through streets lined with retro wooden school buildings and old earthen storehouses allows visitors to experience the atmosphere of good old Japan. It is a soul-soothing destination where the abundant blessings of the Mogami River and a historical culture built alongside water live on.
