Shingaku-ji, Former Buddhist temple in Yoshino, Japan
Located within the steep mountains of Yoshino, Shingaku-ji stands on the sacred site of Yoshino and Omine at over 1000 meters altitude.
Established in 1599, Shingaku-ji became part of the ancient Shugendo practices centered in Yoshino, which Emperor Go-Daigo used as refuge in the 14th century.
The temple forms part of the pilgrimage routes connecting numerous religious structures through the Omine Okugakemichi path, used by mountain ascetic practitioners.
Visitors can access the temple site while exploring the extensive network of shrines and temples across Mount Yoshino, particularly during spring cherry blossom season.
The temple grounds integrate with Mount Yoshino's collection of 30,000 Shiroyamazakura cherry trees, planted through centuries of religious activities.
