吉野山 奥千本

I went to mount Yoshino and have a good experience, never see so many sakura in the natural environment!

20240331 not fully blossomed

To Okusenbon, the unexplored region of Yoshino A temporary shuttle bus runs from Yoshino Station. If it's after 9am, you can get on the train with a wait of about 5 minutes. About 10 minutes to Nakasenbon. Buses run infrequently from Nakasenbon to Okusenbon, and you may have to wait in line for over an hour. It takes about an hour and a half to walk, so which way you go depends on your physical strength. Okusenbon is at its peak when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and when you look at the graceful and falling cherry blossom petals, it's so magical that you can imagine the world of paradise.

Even though I live in Nara, I couldn't go there often. Okusenbonzakura🌸I went there today. In short, I should have prepared. I went there thinking I could easily drive up to the area, but I had a hard time with the steep slope. The cherry blossoms were just past full bloom, but I was satisfied. It was a little warm and sunny, so there were a lot of bikers. Next time I want to go slowly on my bike 🏍️.

I thought it was a bit late, but I went to see it for next year and beyond! The cherry blossoms had begun to fall, but the sky blue sky, dark green, and cherry blossom snowstorm created a beautiful contrast. It didn't look like the picture, but it was pretty good. There are parking lots 🅿️ in various places, but Nakasenbon was relatively empty. It's quite a distance from the back to the bottom. There were many hikers and cyclists. As an amateur, only Okusenbon was enough! There are many tourists from overseas, and there are long lines for buses. Please note that there are only a few toilets ⚠️ If you go by car, the way back will be quite crowded... Please be prepared.
