Mogami district, Administrative district in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan
Mogami district encompasses seven municipalities across 1,508 square kilometers of northeastern Yamagata Prefecture, with mountains and rivers shaping its landscape.
The district formed in 1878 following the Meiji restoration, evolving from an area previously governed by the Shinjō Domain during the Tokugawa period.
The Mogami River, flowing through the district, maintains its heritage through traditional river songs performed by local boatmen during guided tours.
The region connects to Tokyo via the JR Tohoku-Yamagata Shinkansen Line, with trains completing the journey in approximately three and a half hours.
Winter temperatures in the district drop severely, resulting in substantial snowfall that transforms the mountainous terrain from December through February.
