Visitor Information

The Tsuruoka Tourist Information Office is across from the station in the building housing Foodever—the complex of local culinary delights related to Tsuruoka's designation by UNESCO as a City of Gastronomy. The staff at the visitor information desk speak some English, though most pamphlets about Dewa-Sanzan are in Japanese. They will help with bus schedules and lodging arrangements.
