Yoshimizu Shrine

Located on Mount Yoshino in Nara Prefecture, Yoshimizu Shrine features traditional Japanese architecture with wooden structures and a prayer hall for worshippers.

The shrine traces its origins to the 8th century when En no Gyoja established it as a spiritual center within the sacred mountains of Japan.

This shrine stands as a testament to Japanese religious practices, incorporating both Shinto rituals and elements of mountain worship throughout the seasons.

Visitors can reach the shrine by taking a train to Yoshino Station, followed by a local bus service that operates regularly to the shrine entrance.

The shrine holds the distinction of being part of the Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range UNESCO World Heritage designation.
