The Chokai Blue Line is a sightseeing road that runs between Yamagata and Akita Prefectures. Mt. Chokai is enveloped with vibrant red and yellow deciduous trees in autumn. And from the observatory located 1,000m above sea level, depending on the time of day you can enjoy a splendid view of the small islands scattered across the Sea of Japan or an equally impressive sunset.
