Message from Hiroko Furukawa

Mount Wakakusayama, also known as Wakakusa Mountain, is a grass-covered mountain located behind Nara Park in Japan. Standing at about 350 meters tall, it offers stunning views over Nara City. Visitors can climb the mountain all year round except during winter, and there's a small entrance fee to access the trails. The slopes of Mount Wakakusayama are lined with cherry trees that bloom beautifully in early April, making it a popular spot for nature lovers and hikers. Don't miss the annual Wakakusa Yamayaki event in January, where the mountain slopes are set on fire in a spectacular display.
