Yoshimizu Shrine (Yoshimizu Jinja) in the Naka Senbon area of Mount Yoshino, has a long and storied past. It was originally established in the 8th century as a temple, and then served as the living quarters for practitioners of Shugendo mountain worship. The temple gave refuge to several notable historical figures over the years starting with Minamoto Yoshitsune who fled from his brother Yoritomo in the 12th century.
In the 14th century, after Emperor Go-Daigo established a rivaling imperial court (the Southern Court) at Yoshino, the shrine served as his temporary seat, effectively making the shrine an Imperial Palace. Emperor Go-Daigo is still enshrined here to this day. Furthermore, in the 16th century, Yoshimizu Temple played host to some of famous hanami parties here held by Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
Eventually it was converted to a shrine during the Meiji Period's separation of Buddhism and Shinto. Yoshimizu Shrine today exhibits various treasures in its main building, such as historic documents, arms, paintings and other art objects. Yoshimizu Shrine also is still a popular place for cherry blossom viewing and affords some great, unobstructed views of Yoshino's cherry tree covered mountain slopes.

Japan Travel: Yoshino cherry blossoms & Shugendo mountain worship, Nara45
Mount Yoshino (Yoshinoyama) in Yoshino Town, Nara Prefecture, is one of Japan's most famous cherry blossom spots. It is covered by over 30,000 cherry trees planted around the slopes. Visitors can walk along the roads that lead up the mountain admiring them.
Yoshino also offers a rich history, which makes it an interesting destination even without cherry blossoms at any time of the year. Yoshinoyama has been the base of the pilgrimage trail to sacred Mount Omine, a center of Shugendo mountain worship for many centuries. The remote town also served to give refuge to various historical personalities, including Emperor Go-Daigo who established a competing second imperial court there in the 14th century.
In 2004, Yoshino was designated a cultural UNESCO World Heritage Site, together with Mount Koya and Kumano, as part of the Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range.

Kinpusenji Temple is the leading temple in Yoshino and is the main Shugendo temple of great significance. Shugendo is a religion based on mountain worship that combines tenets of both Buddhism and Shinto. The temple is listed as the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Yoshino, and its main hall, Zao-do Hall with the height of 34 meter, is said to be Japan's second largest wooden structure only behind Nara's Todaiji Temple.
Three, blue skinned statues of Zao Gongen stand inside the Zao-do Hall, the fierce looking deity to protect the sacred mountains of the Yoshino area. Zao Gongen is one of the most important deities in Shugendo, embodying the past, present and future Buddha. The temple's three statues have been standing for 1300 years, measures up to as tall as seven meters and each represent one of these three facets.
Kinpusenji Temple occasionally holds Shugendo workshops, which highlight feats of physical and mental endurance of the elements, such as hanging off cliffs or sitting under waterfalls, which Shugendo teaches to be a path to enlightenment. Also, the pilgrimage trail starts at the temple to the sacred Mount Omine.

Japan Trip: Walking and Viewing, Observing and Learning at Yoshinoyama Oku Senbo, Nara 50
Japan Trip: Walking and Viewing, Observing and Learning at Yoshinoyama Oku Senbo, Nara 50
Mount Yoshino (吉野山) located in Nara Prefecture, is a popular spot for cherry blossom (sakura) viewing. Famous throughout Japan, it is said the trees were planted here on the slopes of Mount Yoshino over 1300 years ago. The mountain is covered with around 30,000 cherry trees of different varieties; thought the Yamazakura version is common.
Yoshinoyama’s slope faces the north. It is divided into four areas:
Shimo Senbon—meaning lower 1000 trees; located at the base of the mountain
Naka Senbon—meaning middle 1000 trees; located in the middle of the mountain
Kami Senbon—meaning upper 1000 trees; located at the top of the mountain
Oku Senbon—meaning inner 1000 trees; located deep within the mountain
Visitors have the opportunity to view the various cherry blossoms as they travel through the mountains as well as experience Yoshino Town with its various temples and shrines.
The Oku Senbon area of Mount Yoshino has the fewest cherry trees among the other areas. However, due to altitude differences, the cherry blossoms in this area bloom later than the other areas. Therefore, visitors who have missed the full bloom of the cherry blossoms at the base of the mountains are recommended to come to Oku Senbon. The best hanami (cherry blossom viewing) spot in this area would be at the Takagiyama Observation Deck. It is a 90 minute walk from the ropeway station.
