The cherry blossom site Yoshino-yama
Yoshino-yama has been the famous site for cherry blossom seeing in Japan since the period Nara. There is the historical fact that En no Gyouja carved statue of the Buddha in wood of the cherry blossom when he started the religion Shugendo. So this is the beginning of the fame for cherry blossoms in Yoshino-yama. Till now, we have been taking care of them and protecting them. There are about two hundred kinds and thirty thousand cherry blossoms in Yoshino-yama. Also most kinds of them are Shiroyama sakura. |
