Fantastic view of Yamagata

Jun 2016 • Solo

Kajo Central is the tallest building in Yamagata city. It is connected by a walkway from the train station. It has several floors of shopping which seem underutilized at the moment. The view from the 24th floor is outstanding. The trick is to find that special set of elevators which take you up there. You can catch those elevators only on the 1st and 2nd floors.

Shops, restaurants, tourist information and a great view from 24F

Aug 2018 • Couples

My wife and I stayed in the Washington Hotel on the tops floors so we became familiar with this building. There's a movie theater in the basement, there are several shops and restaurants on the first two floors, and there's a very good Yamagata Tourist Information center on the first floor with some foreign language information. (I don't know how much English the staff know as we spoke in Japanese.) You can go up to the top floor (24th floor) and there's a free observation area with seats and large windows. Unless you're staying at the hotel, I think there's cheaper parking outside Kajo Central.
