Overview

Come with us to visit Yoshino Town during a one-day private guided tour on foot and by public transport!

It is an opportunity for us to visit a town in the Japanese countryside and breathe the clean mountain air, especially during the cherry blossom season in early-mid April. The landscape is beautiful and not to be missed, especially if you visit Japan during this time.

The day consists of a hike from the top of the mountain to its foot. We pass through several stages, all parts of the UNESCO World Heritage under the Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountains. We have nature as far as our eyes can see, and historic sites from the 9th and 14th centuries.

After this day, you will be amazed by these beautiful landscapes of Japanese nature. You will also learn more about the history of Japan. Are you coming? We are waiting for you!

Activity itinerary

Kinbu Shrine

We begin our visit to the Shinto Kinpu Sanctuary, at the top of the mountain. This monument is part of the UNESCO World Heritage under the title "Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountains". This is an opportunity for us to greet the mountain and its guardian deity, before starting our journey and hike.
Yoshino Mikumari Shrine
  • 1h 30m
This sanctuary, also listed in UNESCO, dates from the 17th century and has remained as it is since that time. We can also see historical artifacts from the Edo period.
Hanayagura

Here is the highlight of the show and of the tour! The view below of nature and the old town is magnificent, especially during the cherry blossom season.
Yoshimizu Shrine
  • 1h
The view "A Thousand Trees at Sight" from this shrine is magnificent, especially during the cherry blossom season. It is also a landmark of the Japanese imperial history with the Southern Court of the 14th century.
Naka-senbon
  • 1h
Nakasenbon, "In the Thousand Trees", is actually a real commercial street in the mountains! It's an opportunity for us to stop by for lunch, window shopping, and why not, make a little extras.
Kinpusenji Temple

Ascetic Buddhist monks welcome us to this temple where we can still feel the presence of Kukai, Kobo-Daishi, founder of the place in the 9th century.
