Come with us to visit Yoshino Town during a one-day private guided tour on foot and by public transport!

It is an opportunity for us to visit a town in the Japanese countryside and breathe the clean mountain air, especially during the cherry blossom season in early-mid April. The landscape is beautiful and not to be missed, especially if you visit Japan during this time.

The day consists of a hike from the top of the mountain to its foot. We pass through several stages, all parts of the UNESCO World Heritage under the Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountains. We have nature as far as our eyes can see, and historic sites from the 9th and 14th centuries.

After this day, you will be amazed by these beautiful landscapes of Japanese nature. You will also learn more about the history of Japan. Are you coming? We are waiting for you!

Amazing and thoughtful private tour of Mt. Yoshino - Mouloud is passionate about Japanese culture and history and very informative. Beautiful scenery and easy way to travel off the beaten path in places it would otherwise be hard to navigate - highly recommended!
