Mount Yoshino

Mount Yoshino in springtime transforms into a breathtaking wonderland, adorned with thousands of cherry blossoms. The mountain, renowned for its centuries-old tradition of hanami, offers stunning vistas as the sakura trees blanket the slopes in delicate pink and white hues. Visitors can enjoy serene walks through the four distinct groves, each at varying elevations, ensuring a prolonged and immersive blossom-viewing experience. The beauty of the cherry blossoms, combined with historic temples and scenic viewpoints, makes Mount Yoshino a quintessential destination for springtime in Japan.

Thousand cherry trees

Captured at the start of cherry blossom season. There are larger crowds at the lower side of the hillside so we recommend going to the top for an intimate moment. However keep in mind, the slopes are steep and not for the feint hearted.
