Mount Yoshino is located roughly in the center of Nara Prefecture. Yoshino is a sacred place for the unique religion of Japan called 'Shugendo', or ancient ascetic practices, based on mountain worship. Yoshino is also known for more than 30, 000 wild cherry trees (Yama Sakura), which bloom blossoms in light link in spring, covering the mountains like snow. Yoshino is home to the renowned Yoshino cedar wood and Yoshino forestry is some of the oldest, forest plantation not only within Japan but worldwide. This tour would be highly recommended, if you have already visited major sites in Kyoto & Nara, and look for sites which are off-the-beaten-track as well as full of history and nature. During this full-day tour, you will enjoy a visit to Mount Yoshino as well as temples of Shugendo or the mountain asceticism and shrined designated as World Heritage site, a sacred and serene place where history and nature are condensed in one spot. This tour starts from Kyoto. I can plan an itinerary which best fits you.
The itinerary can be customized according to your preference and interest. Sample Itinerary: - take Kintetsu express train from Kyoto station to Yoshino station. Then ropeway to Mount Yoshino - Kinpusenji temple, the head temple of Shugendo, the Japanese mountain asceticism - Kamisenbon area, meaning "the Upper 1000 cherry trees" - Sakura-moto-bo temple and/or Chikurin-in temple, served for many years as accommodation for Shugendo practitioners - Yoshimizu Jinjya shrine, used to be temporary quarters of Emperor Go-Daigo - back to Kyoto station by Kintetsu express train
