Introducing Yoshino
Yoshino is Japan’s top cherry-blossom destination, and for a few weeks in early to mid-April the blossoms of thousands of cherry trees form a floral carpet gradually ascending the mountainsides. It’s definitely a sight worth seeing, but the narrow streets of the village become jammed tight with thousands of visitors at this time, and you’ll have to be content with a day trip unless you’ve booked accommodation long in advance. Once the cherry-blossom petals fall, the crowds depart and Yoshino reverts to a sleepy village with a handful of shrines and a couple of temples to entertain day-trippers.
