“Cool” Yamagata - Yet to Be Discovered.
Visitors to Japan are increasing every year,
and “Cool Japan” is now recognized by people around the world.
But wait – is the essence of “Cool” really getting across?
“#ymgt_cool campaign” is a project that focuses on undiscovered “Cool” scenes in Yamagata in its nature, traditions, and people’s lives – and spreading them across the world through SNS.
One photograph is all it takes to surprise the world.

The photographs may be scenes from nature, tradition, day-today life,
or the seasons - any subject is acceptable, as long as the photographs are taken in Yamagata.
