Mogami-gawa River Viewpoint

At Mogami-gawa River Viewpoint, you can see the start point of the “Mogami River”, which runs through Yamagata Prefecture.
The fast-running Shirakawa River merges into the slow-running Matsukawa River, creating white waves and flowing in an S-shape.
The upper part from this junction was called “Matsukawa”, and downstream was called “Mogamigawa”, so this place was regarded as “the birthplace of the Mogami-gawa River”.
