OnYoshino Sakura's cherry blossom viewing plan after blowing snowOne article mentions Mount Yoshino, which has a long cherry blossom viewing season. The mountain range is divided into Shimo-Senbon, Naka-Senbon, Upper-Senbon and Oku-Senbon from low to high. The cherry blossoms bloom later as the altitude increases. Although the cherry blossoms in Mount Yoshino are not as elaborate as those in Kyoto, they have a natural and large-scale beauty. Although they cannot be appreciated as close as in Kyoto, they have a different kind of beauty created by distance, which makes people put aside their rush and enjoy the cherry blossoms. The urgency of taking a group photo slowly sinks into the tranquility surrounded by cherry blossoms.

The most famous person for cherry blossom viewing is the Yoshimizu Shrine, which has the name "Ichimoku Senbon".Yoshimizu Shrine was originally called Yoshimizu-in Temple. It was built during the Hakuho period (the middle of the 7th century). It was originally a place for practitioners to practice. Under the policy of separating the gods and the Buddha during the Meiji Restoration, it was renamed Yoshimizu Shrine in 8.Every two hundred years, Mount Yoshino and Yoshimizuin will rise to the stage of history, witnessing the changes of the times, making Yoshinoshan not only a famous place for cherry blossom viewing, but also an important role in history.

Accompanying parents to Yoshino Mountain from Kyoto to enjoy the cherry blossoms, the fresh air and beautiful environment of the mountainous area, of course, is very popular with parents, but for the physical strength of the elders, it can be said that it is a big test.At that time, Wendy accompanied her parents to attack thousands of books from Nakasenbon Park. On the way, due to limited physical strength, her parents could only rest at the roadside tea place. After Wendy attacked thousands of books at Yoshino Suizumi Shrine alone, she stopped and returned to accompany her parents slowly. After visiting Nakasenmoto along the main mountain road, I felt that the name of Mount Yoshino seemed to be too famous, and then I came to Yoshimizu Shrine, and finally I can deeply appreciate the reputation of Mount Yoshino's famous cherry blossom viewing spot.
