Japan Trip: Ropeway, Sakura, Yoshino Town at Yoshinoyama Shimo Senbo, Nara 49
Japan Trip: Ropeway, Sakura, Yoshino Town at Yoshinoyama Shimo Senbo, Nara 49
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.
Visitors will find the Shimo Senbon area of Mount Yoshino at the base of the mountain around Yoshino Station. The lower part of Yoshino town is located here as well. Visitors will find the Yoshino Ropeway station in Shimo Senbon. Many visitors choose to use the Yoshino Ropeway to view the mountain sakura (cherry blossoms). However, due to the popularity of Mount Yoshino’s cherry blossoms, the wait time for the ropeway can be quite long during the cherry blossom season. There are many cherry trees along the mountain trial for those who prefer this healthy, attractive alternative to the ropeway.

Yoshino Hana Eshiki on Mt. Yoshino in Nara!
On April 12th of this year a special matsuri was held on Mount Yoshino in Nara. It is called the Yoshino Hana Eshiki (吉野花会式) procession. The participants are the famous Shugendō (修験道) ascetic mountain monks. They made their way from the Sakuramotobō (櫻本坊) to the Zaōdō hall of the Kimpusen-ji temple for the final climax of this matsuri. A dance by the oni odori (鬼踊) and the burning of a large pile wood and pine branches. After this they trow mochi kubari (餅配り) into the crowd.
A lot of people had come this day to witness the matsuri and enjoy the fine spring weather and cherry blossoms. Walking the small roads and visiting the different temples and shrines was a wonderful experience. The sakura make everything look much more beautiful. I was surprised by the sheer multitude that was there. I have never seen that many people attending a special event as this. There where long waiting lines to either go up or down the mountain.
This is what Wikipedia says: Mount Yoshino (吉野山) is a mountain located in the town of Yoshino in Yoshino District, Nara Prefecture, Japan. In 2004, It was designated as part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site under the name Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range.
Mt. Yoshino (吉野山) in Nara, is famous for its many thousands of sakura trees. These flowering specimen trees were planted in four groves at different altitudes, in part so that the famed trees would come into bloom at different times of the spring. A 1714 account explained that, on their climb to the top, travellers would be able to enjoy the lower 1,000 cherry trees at the base, the middle 1,000 on the way, the upper 1,000 toward the top, and the 1,000 in the precincts of the inner shrine at the top.
