吉野山 上千本 - Yoshino District

Don't drive during the cherry blossom season as it's just a waste of time. Bicycle is recommended.

First photo: The less popular dark green cherry leaves have a scent like sakura mochi. The scent of Sakuramochi must be because there are a thousand cherry trees. Second photo: Taken on April 6, 2022

If you come to see Senbonzakura from Osaka, we strongly recommend that you take the first train from Osaka Abenobashi Station. If you can walk without rest from the first train, you can take a relatively relaxing view and take pictures even in the full bloom season. Please be prepared for it to be very crowded when you arrive at Yoshino Station after 10 o'clock.

I saw the best cherry blossoms this year as well. It was a magnificent view from the place where you can see Nyoirinji Temple from a distance.

It is not recommended to come by car because it is a one-way street during the cherry blossom season and it is difficult to climb the mountain. If you park your car at a station in front of Yoshinoyama Station, there are many cheap places even if you park for a day, and you will not be caught in the traffic jam on your way home. Please stop 3 to 5 stations before and enter Mt. Yoshino by train. Even if you walk from the bottom to the upper thousand, you can reach the upper thousand in less than two hours. It's a location that just came up, so please do your best and go up to the top thousand.

I checked the flowering information on the Yoshino Town official website every day and went by motorcycle according to the full bloom day of Kamisen. After having lunch at a Western-style restaurant near Yoshinojingu Station, we left for the Nyoirinji parking lot at 12:00. Arrived at the parking lot in 20 minutes, but said that it was full and could not be parked. One car that comes out when making a U-turn is a nice timing! While the cars behind me turned back one after another, I managed to park, so I left for Yoshino Moisture Shrine. Not so up to Nakasenbon Park, but the slope from there was steep. We enjoyed the scenery in places and walked while taking pictures, and on the way we took a hydration break at a teahouse for about 10 minutes and arrived at the hydration shrine. It took 80 minutes. I don't know which specimen tree is in Yoshino Town, but even if I estimate it at most, only 30% of the trees are in full bloom, and the teahouse's older sister said, "I did it a week ago" ? Still, it was a scenery that I was glad I did my best to climb. However, I think that the scenery full of full bloom is overwhelming because of that, and from next year onward, I will aim for one week to 10 days before the flowering information. And if you want to fully enjoy the view of Kinpusenji Temple from Kanazawa, I thought it would be better to come to the time when Nakasenbon is in full bloom. The scenery of the descent is more enjoyable than the climb, and I walked around the staster, and arrived at Nakasenbon Park in 60 minutes while taking pictures in places without a break on the way. From there, I decided to take a bus to the Nyoirinji parking lot. The shuttle bus is free, but it costs 190 yen, and I arrived at the parking lot in no time. I went with a motorcycle because I used to wear high-cut boots, so sneakers are preferable even if I don't go trekking shoes. I thought that the traffic jam from Yoshinojingu station would be the same for both motorcycles and cars. supplement After the Nyoirinji parking lot, only walking or bicycles were allowed, but cars and motorcycles came down after that, and some vehicles with other prefecture numbers were parked on the way, so it may be up depending on the time of day. It seems that you can drive to.
