Japan Trip: Walking and Viewing, Observing and Learning at Yoshinoyama Oku Senbo, Nara 50

Mount Yoshino (吉野山) located in Nara Prefecture, is a popular spot for cherry blossom (sakura) viewing. Famous throughout Japan, it is said the trees were planted here on the slopes of Mount Yoshino over 1300 years ago. The mountain is covered with around 30,000 cherry trees of different varieties; thought the Yamazakura version is common.

Yoshinoyama’s slope faces the north. It is divided into four areas:
Shimo Senbon—meaning lower 1000 trees; located at the base of the mountain
Naka Senbon—meaning middle 1000 trees; located in the middle of the mountain
Kami Senbon—meaning upper 1000 trees; located at the top of the mountain
Oku Senbon—meaning inner 1000 trees; located deep within the mountain
Visitors have the opportunity to view the various cherry blossoms as they travel through the mountains as well as experience Yoshino Town with its various temples and shrines.

The Oku Senbon area of Mount Yoshino has the fewest cherry trees among the other areas. However, due to altitude differences, the cherry blossoms in this area bloom later than the other areas. Therefore, visitors who have missed the full bloom of the cherry blossoms at the base of the mountains are recommended to come to Oku Senbon. The best hanami (cherry blossom viewing) spot in this area would be at the Takagiyama Observation Deck. It is a 90 minute walk from the ropeway station.

【4K】Yoshino Mountain, Nara 奈良吉野山 (5/7) - Hanayagura Observatory 花矢倉展望台

Hanayagura Observatory - Probably the best lookout point in Yoshino, this observatory has spectacular views over Yoshinoyama town. It’s a short walk up a steep slope from the main town, but be careful of traffic on the narrow road, with several switch backs. The observatory is very popular in spring and autumn, and there is a small cafe that opens in peak season, but there are few facilities. Just two minutes away is the serene Yoshino Mikumari-jinja Shrine, with beautiful weeping cherry blossom trees. About ten minutes down the hill is Chikurin-in Temple & Garden, with a landscape designed by tea master Rikyu.
