Thousand Cherry Blossoms of Yoshinoyama

Yoshinoyama in Nara Prefecture is one of Japan's most representative cherry blossom spots, where approximately 30,000 Shirayamazakura trees fill the entire mountain. Due to the elevation differences between Shimo-senbon, Naka-senbon, Kami-senbon, and Oku-senbon, cherry blossom viewing can be enjoyed for about a month from early to late April. The view from Naka-senbon, called Hitome-senbon, is particularly spectacular. The collaboration with historic structures such as the World Heritage site Kinpusen-ji Temple and Yoshimizu Shrine is also a highlight. You can also savor Yoshino delicacies like kuzumochi and persimmon leaf sushi.
