Summer: Away from the heat, cool down at the mountainous regions of Yamagata
The Risshakuji temple in the mountain of Yamagata is definitely one of the best view spots in the area. This temple was first built in the year 860 and is still a place where people come and worship.
As Matsuo Basho (a Japanese poet) read at this temple, the quietness just reminds you that you are surrounded by nature.
The area is loved by the locals and is famous as a summer resort.

Try out the hot springs at Tendo Onsen.

Illuminations at the APA Resort Hotel in Joetsu Myoko (Niigata)
Head to Nagano for the Hakuba ski resorts and if you're heading to Niigata, there's the Akakura ski resort and the Joetsu/ Myoko area as well.
If you go to Niigata, make sure you see the illuminations at the APA resort. They hold a Guinness world record for "Largest LED sculpture" and "Largest water surface projection" and it's definitely worth looking at if you're there at the right season.
