Yoshino, Administrative division in Nara Prefecture, Japan
The slopes of Mount Yoshino contain over 30,000 cherry trees divided into four distinct elevation zones from Shimo Senbon to Oku Senbon.
Emperor Go-Daigo established a rival imperial court in Yoshino during the 14th century, making the Yoshimizu Shrine his temporary residence.
Kinpusenji Temple houses three 1300-year-old blue Zao Gongen statues and serves as a gathering point for Shugendo mountain practitioners.
The Yoshino Ropeway connects the train station to the main town area, with shuttle buses operating during cherry blossom season.
Local specialty Kakinohazushi preserves fish by wrapping vinegar-marinated salmon or mackerel with rice in persimmon leaves.
