In April, I'm going to Nara Yoshino Mountain to experience the cherry blossoms of spring. Here's a nanny-level guide.

Nara Yoshino Mountain ⛰️ | Enjoy cherry blossoms in spring 🌸 Step into 360° pink. "Where should we go to see cherry blossoms this year?" Today, let's take a tour of the World Heritage site "Mount Yoshino", which is a rare large-scale cherry blossom blooming area! Here, you can also enjoy the ancient roads, temples, and shrines. 🌸Cherry Blossom Viewing Guide: Best time to view cherry blossoms: early to mid April (about 10 days later than Kyoto area overall) Riding the cable car up Mount Yoshino, you can overlook 30,000 cherry blossom trees. The color of the cherry blossoms will gradually change with the altitude of the mountain, and the top of the mountain in the morning will be accompanied by a thin mist, giving off a mysterious beauty. From the foot to the top of the mountain, they bloom in succession, and the flowering period usually lasts for one month. The areas with the highest altitude have a relatively late flowering period. At night, the cherry blossoms are lit up, allowing you to appreciate the enchanting night cherry blossoms different from those during the day. Popular ⛩️ Attractions: "Shimosenben" is located at the lowest altitude of Mount Yoshino. In the center of the tourist area, there are railway stations, cable car stations, and observation decks. "Nakasenbon" and Shimosenbon are the best cherry blossom viewing spots in Mount Yoshino, and there are many world-class shrines and temples "Kinminesan Temple" is one of the most important holy places on Mount Yoshino. In the temple, there are Niwang Gate and Zao Hall, which are designated as national treasures. "Yoshimizu Shrine" enshrines the five emperors, where you can experience the "thousands of cherry blossoms at a glance" From the Hanayakura Observatory, you can overlook the whole Nara and the cherry blossoms with gradual changes in "Senbon", and feel like wandering in the sea of flowers The flowering period at the highest altitude of "Okusenben" is relatively late, and the ancient pavilions here have maintained their original appearance for thousands of years About 🍱 cuisine: Persimmon leaf sushi, with vinegared rice and bluefish, salmon, and small pieces of sea bream, wrapped in persimmon leaves. The cherry blossom series, featuring cherry-flavored rolls, sakura mochi, and sakura sake, is also worth a try. About 🚌 transportation: Near the Jinye Station, at the foot of the mountain, take the hiking trail next to the station for about 20-30 minutes, or take the cable car up the mountain 🚠. During the cherry blossom viewing season, there will be sightseeing buses and shuttle buses available for transportation. If you are driving on your own, there may be traffic congestion. 😊 ~~~~~~~ The night before, you can stay at this "Air❤️bnb" Japanese-style homestay, go up the mountain early to avoid crowds, and enjoy the panoramic view of the most beautiful cherry blossom mountain. 🏠Homestay name: enn yoshino 💓Reasons for recommendation 2 tatami rooms, perfect for friends and family traveling together. You can overlook the Yoshino River and the Yoshino Mountains, and enjoy great BBQ and fishing by the river. There is a temple next door that you can visit, and there is a parking lot available.
