Tozawa Village is in northern Yamagata Prefecture, and the Mogami River flows west through its center. It is a base for boat rides down the Mogami River, and in the Mogami Gorge, which Basho also went down by boat, Shiraito Falls pours down. It also has a day-use hot spring facility using hot water that came out during oil drilling in the Showa era.
