Yoshino Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

Sakura and Yoshinoyama !!

Yoshinoyama and cherry blossoms!!! Mount yoshino is located in Nara prefecture. The most popular springtime flower in Japan is hands down cherry blossom. And the cherry blossoms on Yoshinoyama are a great example of why so much fanfare is made about these wonderful blooms in Japan. Yoshinoyama have over 30,000 cherry trees that tinge the valley pink during the blooming season . This unspoiled landscape is not to be missed. And another main reason I came to Yoshinoyama is my Kumano Kodo hiking trail’s connection. So ,to me that make more sense and such an important reason to come to Yoshinoyama. And I found myself here , I enjoy trails rather than shopping mall and human crowd. I love hiking,walking, looking at the trees , flowers and beautiful landscape and it made me more energetic and looking forward to this !! Friendly speaking, not so straightforward to come here . Need to planned before the night and keep follow up with few trains transfers, buses and keep checking all the updates of trains platforms and timing . But , to me a bit excited and I love those kind of adventures and planning at that . Be very patient with yourself. Keep reminding myself that I did so well 🤭🤭. But , if you all are not so used to it and less hassle, just take a tour to yoshino and enjoy flowers 🌸. There are few tour arranged to yoshino for 🌸 season. But , doesn’t matter you are just enjoying the flowers or you are hiking the trails , remember to wear comfortable shoes, recommend a good hiking shoes to be better and be prepared a few extra layers to bare the cold on the mountain and some water / snacks and umbrella or rain cover , since the weather changes so quickly and drastically. See you on the other side of the world 🌎!! #solotravel #naturelover #Japan #Hiker

When you get there you must not miss one of the most sacred spots for Shugendo, a syncretic mix of Buddhism and Shinto, see the stunning seasonal changes on the mountain, and ride the ropeway to get the best view from the mountain. #givethanks #givethanks
