Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
The Nara Prefecture is home to Mount Yoshino and is the best place to view the blooming cherry blossoms in Japan.
The first cherry blossom trees were planted on the mountain slopes more than 1300 years ago according to legend, and there are more than 30,000 trees covering the mountain today. The mountain is not a freestanding mountain but rather a slope divided into four distinct areas—The Shimo Senbon, Naka Senbon, Kami Senbon, and Oku Senbon.
The tourist town of Yoshino is also found on the slope with many shops, temples, and shrines along with parks and viewing points. >Mount Yoshinoyama Map
