Uesugi Shrine
Inside the shrine, the Uesugi Shrine Keishoden houses important cultural properties, including relics of the Uesugi family and the helmet of Naoe Kanetsugu, who was both a warrior and a scholar, making it an unmissable spot for history enthusiasts. Each year in April, 200 cherry blossom trees burst into bloom, and the Yonezawa Uesugi Festival and Uesugi Snow Lantern Festival are held, attracting many visitors.
Nearby, Matsukaze Shrine venerates Uesugi Yozan as its deity. By visiting both the Uesugi Shrine and Matsukaze Shrine, visitors can deeply appreciate the rich history of the Uesugi clan.
