Historic and Natural Guided Hike in Yoshino

You will join the guide at Yamato Kamiichi Station and head for Miyaki Falls by bus. You will then leave Miyataki, where the remains of Yoshino Palace called Yoshino Rikyu was discovered, and continue walking while listening to the stream of the elephant (kisa) stream that was also written about in the ancient Manyoshu (Collection of Ten Thousand Leaves). You can also see the elegant appearance of the Sakuragi Shrine and the Yae Bridge on your left. In front of you, you can feel the comfort of negative ions in Takataki 's clear stream where a well - cultivated beautiful forest spreads and falls from among the trees.

The field of vision spreads from the vicinity of a lovely pond and we arrive at Yoshino Mountain with a beautiful landscape expanding beneath the eyes. From the end of March to the middle of April, beautiful cherry blossoms will spread out to form a wonderful scenery unique to this world heritage site that covers historic buildings and mountains. It is at the main mountain where "Kimpusenji Temple / Zao-do Hall" of the Shugendo simply stops at the hill of a ridge road. The national treasure Zao-do Hall is a 14th-century reconstruction, about 34 m in height, about 36 m in depth, with gloriously extended eaves, a large-scale architectural style for the Great Buddha of Todaiji Temple. After worshiping, we take time for a lunch break. Please try the special regional delicacy of persimmon leaf sushi by all means. After lunch we will walk for about 30 minutes, go down the mountain, and the tour ends at Yoshino Station. Listen carefully to the great nature and enjoy the day together with all things natural while feeling the past cultural peoples and warlords who have followed the same path.
