Located in Nara Prefecture, Mount Yoshino is an amazing spot to enjoy the beauty of cherry blossoms. Boasting over 30,000 cherry trees of different varieties, it will not fail to take your breath away! It's divided into four areas; Shimo Senbon, Naka Senbon, Kami Senbon and Oku Senbon, all with their own attractions to keep you busy. This includes the Kinpusenji Temple, Yoshimiziu Shrine and Chikurin-in Temple. Plus, during the Hanakueshiki Festival between April 10th and 12th, visitors can watch as flowers are offered to the main object of worship at the Kinpusenji Temple. Throughout the year there are plenty of things to experience at Mount Yoshino - from its renowned cherry blossoms to its many shrines and temples - so be sure to pay it a visit! Mount Yoshino is best known for its cherry blossoms but it is very beautiful in autumn, too. If you want to avoid crowds, then autumn could be the best time to visit!
