We left Singapore on a 6.30am ANA flight, NEX to tokyo, boarded the Yamagata Skinkansen, arriving in Yamagata Station at 19:43. It was so wonderful that the Hotel Metropolitan Yamagata (ホテルメトロポリタン山形) was connected via the JR Station. Great hotel which was even linked to he S-PAL supermarket on level 1.
