in"Yoshino Sakura's cherry blossom viewing plan after blowing snow"The article mentions Yoshino Mountain, which has a long cherry blossom viewing period. The mountain range is divided into lower thousand, middle, upper thousand and Okusen from low to high. The blooming time of cherry blossoms will be later as the height increases.Although the cherry blossoms of Mount Yoshino are not like Kyoto’s delicate craftsmanship, they have a natural and great beauty. Although they cannot be seen up close as in Kyoto, they have the beauty created by another distance, which makes people put down anxious and cherry blossoms. The sense of urgency for the group photo slowly immersed in the secluded environment surrounded by cherry blossoms.

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

At the end of the twelfth century, Gen Yoshitsune was hunted down by Genyoshi, and together with his wife Shizuoqian and Benkei fled to Yoshino Mountain for refuge. Yoshimizuin became a hiding place and was eventually destroyed by the Kamakura Shogunate. In the middle of the fourteenth century, Emperor Daigo who destroyed the Kamakura shogunate was forced to retreat by the shogunate, and retired to Mount Yoshino again, establishing Southern power, and Yoshimizuin became the Southern Imperial Palace. At the end of the XNUMXth century, Toyota Pavilion (Toyotomi Hideyoshi) held a cherry blossom viewing event on Mount Yoshino. , Showing the power of a unified world, a thousand allusions were born from this.

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 his parents to attack thousands of books from Nakasenbon Park. On the way, due to limited physical strength, his parents could only rest at the roadside tea place. After Wendy attacked the thousands of books at Yoshino Suizumi Shrine alone, he stopped soldiers and returned to accompany his parents slowly. Slowly visiting Nakasenmoto along the main mountain road, I felt that the name of Mount Yoshino seemed to be too famous, and then came to Yoshimizu Shrine. Finally, I can deeply appreciate the reputation of Mount Yoshino's famous cherry blossom viewing spot.

◎ Sweet place.Benqing

After seeing the magnificent scenery of Ichimoku Senbon from Yoshimizu Shrine, I went back to the street lined with small shops and strolled, casually walked into the tea place named Benkei, and enjoyed the quiet time in the afternoon after resting.Regardless of whether you like Japanese sweets and matcha, Wendy recommends finding a small shop to rest at will, imitating the Japanese cherry blossom viewing activities, and experiencing the beauty in detail.At that time, although the parents did not like sweet food, fortunately, near the evening when the crowds were scarce in the store, a group of four people could slowly share two meals, so that the cherry blossom viewing was not only exciting, but also a little more peaceful. meaning.

◎ Transportation

in"Nara Yoshino Mountain Transportation Method Consolidation"The article introduces how to travel from Keihan to Mount Yoshino. When everyone arrives at Yoshino Station, they will be faced with two paths to visit Mount Yoshino, "from top to bottom" and "from bottom to top".For those traveling with elders or those with limited physical strength, it is recommended to take a temporary bus that runs during the cherry blossom viewing period directly in front of Kintetsu Yoshino Station. After stopping at Ruyirinji Temple, you will directly arrive at Nakasenbon Park.Next, those with good physical strength can go up to Qianben and Okusenben, and those with limited physical strength can slowly swim down from the Qianben to the next thousand.

On weekdays at Yoshino Mountain, the main means of transportation are the cable cars and buses operated by Yoshino Omine Company. During the cherry blossom viewing period, based on traffic considerations, in addition to the cable car operating as usual, the main means of transportation is temporary buses, and the usual bus routes , Shortened to be responsible for the connection between Zhulinin and Okusenmoto, just to connect to the temporary bus route. If you want to go directly to Okusenmoto and are afraid of limited physical strength, you must take the temporary bus and transfer to the Yoshino Omine bus. .In addition, although the Shimosenmoto Cable Car (Yoshino Ropuウェイ) will operate as usual, it is recommended to walk down slowly, because the cherry blossoms on both sides of the road are also beautiful!
