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.

It is a soul-soothing destination where the abundant blessings of the Mogami River and a historical culture built alongside water live on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
