Mt. Yoshino

Event
Mt. Yoshino is one of the most renowned destinations in Japan for cherry blossom viewing, and in spring some 30 thousand cherry trees, mainly Shiroyama-zakura but also including some 200 varieties in total, come into bloom on its sides. Due to the overwhelming number of cherry trees, the mountain is divided into four areas where visitors can enjoy viewing a great abundance of cherry blossoms in one location—Shimo-senbon (the lower 1,000 trees), Naka-senbon (middle 1,000 trees), Kami-senbon (upper 1,000 trees), and Oku-senbon (inner 1,000 trees). The blooming season for the Kami-senbon upper 1,000 trees is later than that for the Shimo-senbon and Naka-senbon areas, usually occurring from mid to late April. The Hanayagura scenic lookout, situated 600 meters up, offers a sweeping view of Mt. Yoshino dyed pink by the cherry blossoms. A cherry blossom festival is held across the mountain from early to mid-April; the cherry blossoms are also lit up during this time, giving visitors the chance to enjoy mysterious and majestic views of the blossoms at night. Shops, toilets and parking available. Traffic restrictions applying to cars and trucks are implemented in certain areas during the cherry blossom season. Take the ropeway from Yoshino Station on the Kintetsu Railway Yoshino Line and get off at Yoshinoyama Station or take the bus that runs during cherry blossom season and get off at the “Nakasenbon Koen” stop.
