Yoshino Angū, Imperial palace site in Yoshino district, Japan
The Yoshino Angu extends across Mount Yoshino, featuring traditional Japanese architectural elements within a setting of 30,000 cherry trees.
Emperor Go-Daigo established this palace in 1336 as the center of the Southern Imperial Court during Japan's period of dual imperial rule.
The palace grounds connect to several Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines, forming part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Kii Mountains.
Visitors reach the palace site via the Kintetsu Railway to Yoshino Station, followed by a local bus service to the mountain's lower slopes.
The palace location offers views of cherry blossoms across four distinct viewing areas, extending from the base to the summit of Mount Yoshino.
