Japan's Natural Wonder | Exploring the Beauty of Yoshino in Nara Prefecture
Japan has countless natural wonders and in this vlog we travel to Nara Prefecture to explore the beautiful nature of Mt Yoshino and revisit the Nara Deer Park!
Nara Park is one of the oldest parks in Japan. It's known for its sacred deer that are considered messengered of the Shinto gods and are left to walk around freely amongst the visitors.
Mount Yoshino one of Japans natural wonders and is the ultimate spot for viewing cherry blossoms. It is known as the BEST placeto see cherry blossoms in Japan as there are said to be over 30 thousand cherry blossom trees planted here!!
Because of the elevation and the many varieties of the tree, the cherry blossoms bloom a little longer than other famous spots. If you missed the blooms in Tokyo or Kyoto then Yoshino is the place to come. Although it depends on the weather, typically the blooms can seen here from late March to early May.
After this video I am heading back to Tokyo! I loved travelling in Japan but I am ready to get back to my regular vlogs! If you want to see more of my adventures in Japan and what it is like to live in Tokyo, Japan as a foreigner, then please don't forget to like and subscribe!!

JAPAN TRAVEL: MT YOSHINO! Day 13
A lovely day out to the surprisingly foodie, very sacred and utterly beautiful holy Mount Yoshino. Part of a millennia-old pilgrimage route and famously for its thousands upon thousands of cherry blossom tree that colour the hillsides.
We hike up the hill, eat some delicious food and marvel at the views before heading back to rambunctious Osaka.
Countryside Japan: Yoshino, Nara Prefecture
One of my best memories of Japan was the tour my friends organized in Yoshino. Yoshino is famous for its mountains and the cedar trees that grow there. I was able to meet many people and see traditional jobs passed down through generations.
Thank you to Kouhi and his brother and friends for a great day!

Yoshino Hana Eshiki on Mt. Yoshino in Nara!
On April 12th of this year a special matsuri was held on Mount Yoshino in Nara. It is called the Yoshino Hana Eshiki (吉野花会式) procession. The participants are the famous Shugendō (修験道) ascetic mountain monks. They made their way from the Sakuramotobō (櫻本坊) to the Zaōdō hall of the Kimpusen-ji temple for the final climax of this matsuri. A dance by the oni odori (鬼踊) and the burning of a large pile wood and pine branches. After this they trow mochi kubari (餅配り) into the crowd.
A lot of people had come this day to witness the matsuri and enjoy the fine spring weather and cherry blossoms. Walking the small roads and visiting the different temples and shrines was a wonderful experience. The sakura make everything look much more beautiful. I was surprised by the sheer multitude that was there. I have never seen that many people attending a special event as this. There where long waiting lines to either go up or down the mountain.
This is what Wikipedia says: Mount Yoshino (吉野山) is a mountain located in the town of Yoshino in Yoshino District, Nara Prefecture, Japan. In 2004, It was designated as part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site under the name Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range.
Mt. Yoshino (吉野山) in Nara, is famous for its many thousands of sakura trees. These flowering specimen trees were planted in four groves at different altitudes, in part so that the famed trees would come into bloom at different times of the spring. A 1714 account explained that, on their climb to the top, travellers would be able to enjoy the lower 1,000 cherry trees at the base, the middle 1,000 on the way, the upper 1,000 toward the top, and the 1,000 in the precincts of the inner shrine at the top.

Mount Yoshino - Famous for cherry blossom viewing (view cherry blossom over the mountain), autumn also not bad
We visit Mt Yoshino on 12 Apr 2018. Bought the earliest train ticket from Osaka Abenobashi station to Mount Yoshino Station. As the cherry blossom season is over, the crowd is not much. But if you visit during cherry blossom season, would recommended to book seated train ticket in advance as the journey took about 1 hr 15 mins, and it will be super crowded. After arriving Mt Yoshino Station, we took bus to Naka Senbon, then took another to Oku Senbon. After that just walk down to lower level.
Highly recommend to visit temple - very calm & traditional Japanese shrine

How much do Japanese know about Japan? How much do they know about the place in which they were born? What is that quality called `Japanese`? Surely there are still many things Japanese should know about Japan. The Japan you don't know is surely here. its changing seasons,its thought, its culture,its festivals,its traditions,its technology... By archiving one by one the attractions of 'japan', we unravel the secret of its fascination, rediscovering attractions unique to each different place, and learning that there are so many of them throughout this one country.

Nara, a inland prefecture in the Kinki Region in the center of Kii Peninsula, is the cradle of the Japanese civilization. Many of the early emperors built their palaces in Nara Prefecture, formerly called Yamato. The Japan's first full-scale capital was set up on Heijo, current Nara city, in 710.
