What other travelers are saying about Mount Yoshino (Yoshino-yama)
Came here last Tuesday, its the last train stop, very few visitors when i was here. Cable car is not working, so i use the bus to go up to the village. Nice village with many temples. There is a huge Buddhist temple made out of solid wood at the center of village. Continue walk up to the view point on the tar sealed road. Its a winding and steep incline road. At the view point you can see the whole village from there. Took a nice japanese lunch at Shitzukatei. It's perfect trip, nice view, traditional houses, majestic temple, deers in the wood, good food, clean and quiet.
Less than what I expected. It must be good in cherry blossoms.
Recommend to take roll-way and bus up, then walk down. Bus runs hourly. No bus at noon for two hours. Rec: Get to the bus stop before 11:30 am.
Must visit place during cherry blossom season. Its a 2 hour leisure walk, and you can hike to the top to see senbonzakura. The road is full with small traditional stores, it felt like being transported to Ghibli world. Not much tourist, so you can enjoy the scenery to the fullest. It is recommended to come here after you visit Nara Park
We visited mount yoshino during 2023 cherry blossoms. Mount Yoshino during Cherry blossoms is must visit. It can be a day trip from Osaka. Pictures cannot justify this beauty. Definitely go check it out if you are in the region. Witnessing 30,000+ fully bloomed cherry blossoms trees is a dream come true.
