ようこそ米沢へ!

山形県の最南端「最上川」の源である吾妻連峰の裾野に広がる米沢は、城下町としても知られ、上杉景勝の家臣、直江兼続により藩政の基盤が築かれ、その後、第9代藩主、上杉鷹山の大倹約をもって、苦しかった藩財政を立て直し、その、鷹山の政治信条は、現代の民主主義思想に近いものがあり、今でも注目されています。

 自然が豊富な吾妻連峰では、夏山登山やスキーなどが手軽に楽しめ、米沢の奥座敷、小野川温泉のほか、奥州三高湯のひとつ白布温泉、姥湯温泉、大平温泉、滑川温泉、新高湯温泉、五色温泉、湯の沢温泉などの豊富な温泉観光も楽しめます。

直江石堤(直江堤公園)

直江兼続は米沢に移封後、まちづくりとともに暴れ川だった松川(最上川)の水害を防止するため、総延長10kmにおよぶ谷地河原堤防(直江石堤)と蛇堤を築きました。

 蛇堤とは地元の通称で、大小の河原石を横にならべて積み上げる「野面積(のずら)」と呼ばれる、戦国時代の石垣造りの工法です。この工事は下級武士を従え、兼続自ら指揮をとったといわれています。

 現在では直江石堤が残る河川敷が公園として整備され、地元の人々の憩いの場となっています。

 その一角には散歩コースがあり、道沿いには直江兼続の偉業を紹介する石碑が点在し、歩きながら兼続の生涯をたどることができます。
