Nanyo is one of the biggest producers of Cherries in Yamagata. I even found a special 'Sapporo' beer can in Marie's Off License that had a map of Yamagata on it, with all the places that grow cherries!
Mmmmmmm delicious!

FRUITS FEST!
Yamagata is a relatively small prefecture in Japan - not many famous landmarks, nothing particularly special, a small and aging population with a reputation for having a humorous yokel dialect around Japan. But what it IS known for, is fruit! Especially Cherries. And I think they have every right to shout out about them, because they're so delicious!! I didn't really eat cherries back in England, for one hated seeded fruits, and another was that I thought cherries were quite sour tasting. But Yamagata cherries look so juicy and sweet, and the taste is very sweet too!

Hi! your posts are very interesting ^^ i attended a lecture about becoming a JET today, and i'm quite hooked. Is it very difficult to transfer over from one culture to the other? I'm Scottish by the way but i used to live near you in Pocklington, on the A1079 to Hull ^^
