Mount Yoshino is located in Nara Prefecture and is currently known as one of the top cherry blossom spots in Japan. The sakura trees you will see in Yoshino are over a millennia old and the beautiful slopes are covered with over 30,000 cherry trees. During the cherry blossom festival, these mountains look as if they are floating. We decided to take a day trip to Mount Yoshino in order to see this beautiful place for ourselves.
