The River Boat Transport Culture of Zusawa
The blessings of the mountains and rivers once carried by boats traveling along the Mogami River. The simple local cuisine, utilizing river fish and wild mountain vegetables, evokes memories of the bustle in Zusawa during its era of prosperity through river transport. Zusawa in Oe Town was a port town that flourished due to the boat transport on the Mogami River. It served as a vital hub for river transport, where goods brought from Yonezawa were transferred from small boats to larger vessels to be sent down to Sakata. In 2013, its streetscape and the flow of the Mogami River were selected as Yamagata Prefecture's first National Important Cultural Landscape, recognized as the 'Landscape of Distribution and Traffic of the Mogami River and Zusawa Townscape.' A food culture in Zusawa that has walked alongside the river. While feeling the romance of history, please listen closely to the flavors brought by the Mogami River.
