This 5-hour private “express” shore excursion takes you from Sakata Port to the sacred forest of Mt. Haguro. Pass through the vivid Zuishinmon Gate, then enjoy a peaceful walk to the famous five-story pagoda surrounded by towering cedar trees. After the visit, return to Sakata City for a relaxed lunch and quick shopping before heading back to port.
The driver will be waiting at exit of the port holding your name board.
Zuishinmon Gate (Mt. Haguro) A striking vermilion gate marking the entrance to Mt. Haguro’s sacred approach. It sets the mood for a quiet walk into an ancient cedar forest tied to the Dewa Sanzan mountain faith.
Five-Story Pagoda of Mt. Haguro (Gojunoto) One of Japan’s most atmospheric pagodas, standing quietly in a cedar grove. The short forest walk is easy but unforgettable—ideal for travelers seeking nature, culture, and calm.
Sakata City (Lunch & Shopping) Back in Sakata, enjoy a local lunch—seafood, ramen, or soba—then browse for souvenirs such as local sake, sweets, and regional specialties. A flexible stop tailored to your pace.
