Yoshinoyama is located in Yoshino-CHO, Yoshino Prefecture in the middle of Nara Prefecture, with convenient transportation. I take Tienara line from Amano's home in Osaka, and it takes only one and a half hours to get to Yoshino Station at the foot of yoshinoyama. In spring, the scenery of thousands of cherry blossoms in yoshinoyama is unforgettable. With all kinds of famous historical products and special foods, people can trace the footprints of the ancients in the sea of flowers all over the mountains. Let's take a look at the beautiful scenery of yoshinoyama!
Speaking of yoshinoyama, I naturally associate it with Buddhism. Yoshinoyama has a deep relationship with Japanese Buddhism. According to legend, the ancestor of the Japanese religious Sect "practicing Taoism" was inspired by the "hidden kingship" (tantric god) on Mount Jin Feng, and Jinfengshan Temple in yoshinoyama became one of the practice centers for practicing Taoism.
After the cherry blossoms in yoshinoyama were called Shenmu by prisoners, many believers came to yoshinoyama to donate cherry trees, thus forming the beautiful scenery in yoshinoyama. The scenery here in yoshinoyama is different all year round. Cherry blossoms in spring, hydrangeas in early summer, red leaves in autumn and snow scenes in winter are unforgettable.
When we come to yoshinoyama, we don't have to be bothered by the complicated terrain here. At the entrance of yoshinoyama, there is a map of the whole scenic spot. From bottom to top, yoshinoyama is divided into four areas, namely, thousands of books, ten thousand books and ten thousand books, with a total length of about 8 kilometers. The opening hours of cherry blossoms are also promoted from the bottom up. You can visit various scenic spots in the mountains from thousands of books along the way, and the play experience is still very good.
There are roughly two tour routes in yoshinoyama. The first one is thousands of books, thousands of books and thousands of volumes from the next thousand books to the middle. The second is to wander from the middle 1000 books and return to the next 1000 books. These two routes are also the routes that tourists often choose. Because there was plenty of time, I chose the first route to see cherry blossoms. The first thing I came here was the next thousand copies.
Walking on the narrow streets here, you will be attracted by local specialty vendors and shops from time to time. In Japan, regardless of the city or tourist attractions, the management of small vendors is very standardized, all kinds of goods are neatly placed and clearly marked, and it is rare for customers to be cheated and cheated. In addition, the sales of many commodities are restricted by the region and can only be sold in one region.
There are two main scenic spots in the next thousand volumes, one is Yoshino Shrine and the other is Hongyuan Temple. Among them, Yoshino Shrine is a masterpiece of modern shrine architecture. As early as 1898, Emperor Meiji established the Yoshino Shrine in the 22nd year of Meiji in order to deeply cherish the great achievements of Go Daigo. This place is still big and empty. I like the gray buildings here very much, which is very historical.
After crossing the Yoshino shrine, I came to Hongyuan Temple. This is a temple dedicated to all kinds of Buddha statues. The deity here is the Tathagata statue of Amitabha Buddha (the cultural property designated by the county), which is said to be the work of Jacky in the Kamakura period for two years. It is said here that toothache is effective, and the Tibetan Tooth Festival is held on the first Sunday of June every year.
Then I came to Zhongqianben, which can be said to be the core scenic spot of yoshinoyama. There are Jin Feng Mountain Temple, Jishui Temple, Southeast Yard, Ruyilun Temple, Dazhai Temple and other scenic spots.
The most famous scenic spot here is Jinfengshan Temple, which is the symbol of yoshinoyama. When I walked in, I happened to find what a Japanese monk was doing. Smoky, deep and solemn chanting and deafening drums shook my heart.
Among them, Tang Wang in Tibet is the main hall of Jinfengshan Temple, which enshrines the hidden Buddha statue-the right of Tibetan kingship, which is very spectacular. The five-bay facade of Tang Wang building is very tall, which is the second largest wooden structure in Japan after Dongda Temple. At the same time, the Tang Wang Temple in Jinfeng Mountain is also listed as a World Heritage Site.
It is said that in order to restore and give alms to the national treasure Wang Ren Gate, in the next 10 years, Tang Wang will have about 1 month every year to open a special account for the hidden Buddha statues. There are many ancient cherry trees planted around the garden in front of Tibet's Wangtang. Here every spring, beautiful cherry blossoms render it into a pink sea of flowers. I saw the spire covered with cherry blossoms in the distance, which means "half of her face is hidden behind her guitar from us".
After leaving Jin Feng Mountain Temple, I came to Jishui Shrine. It used to be the senior monk's room of Jinfengshan Temple, but during the Meiji Restoration, it was designated as a shrine because of the separation policy of Shinto and Buddhism. It used to be Daigo's palace and Toyotomi Hideyoshi's place to enjoy flowers.
When I visited Jishui Shrine, I was lucky enough to meet the owner of the shrine wearing Shinto clothes and instructing us how to rinse our mouths with spring water. I also went through a visit ceremony. He also explained to me the long history and architectural structure of the shrine. At present, the historical relics stored in the shrine include works of art such as screens, wallpapers, paintings and weapons, as well as Japanese national treasures and related artifacts such as Master Yi Xiu, the Yellow Gate of Mito, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and other historical figures.
After leaving the Jishui Shrine, I went to the Southeast Campus and the Daiichi Temple, which are very close. Southeast courtyard is a temple with a history of more than 65,438+0,300 years, which consists of this main hall, many pagodas, a library and a sitting room. Here are Buddha statues such as Tathagata, Samakun and Harraca Ranasa in Kamakura era.
Dainichiji, next to it, is the oldest temple in yoshinoyama. It is dedicated to the works of the Yuan Teng era, and its important cultural heritage is the wooden statue of five wise men.
I visited thousands of core scenic spots in yoshinoyama and came to thousands. The main attractions here are Tibet Academy, Qianlining and Sakuramoto Square.
I came to Tibet College for the first time. It is said that in the early days of He Cheng in heian period, Yuan Zhen, a master of wisdom and evidence, built the Universe Hall when the mountain reached its peak. It is dedicated to the statue of the warrior, the development of the royal power in Tibet and the statue of Ranasa in Harraca. In the secluded temple of the Confucian Xiongze Fanshan in the Edo period, there was a youth hostel in the same building as Sufang.
Behind the Tibetan compound is the Chikulinen Temple founded by Shoto Kutaishi at that time. It is a temple famous for its elegant accommodation. The statue of Shoto Kutaishi placed in Hume Hall is a work of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the square garden here is a garden built by Mori Norikyō. After the renovation of Hosokawa Youzhai, it became one of the three gardens of Yamato. When I walk around here, the environment here is so quiet and quiet that my mind is washed.
Finally, I came to Sakuramoto Square, where I deified myself as a bodhisattva, and there were many temple treasures, such as the statue of Ni Gu Mei, the statue of Emperor Tianwu chanting Buddha, and the statue of Bodhisattva. The temple is dedicated to the oldest Buddha in Japan. Eleven avalokitesvara buddhas, as local buddhas, opened a special account on June 65438+ 10/day.
Leave thousands of books and board thousands of books along the wooden plank road. I thought that the altitude in Australia was higher, and the cherry blossoms should not have fallen yet. But surprisingly, there are few cherry blossoms left on the top of the mountain.
But when I climbed to the top of the mountain overlooking the whole yoshinoyama, the momentum was spectacular. Yoshinoyama's temples, shrines and houses are like fairyland surrounded by green hills and full of cherry blossoms. A gust of wind blew and the petals fluttered with the wind, and yoshinoyama instantly turned into a sea of pink petals. The fresh air is still filled with flowers, which is intoxicating!
Of course, when visiting yoshinoyama, there are also some local delicacies here. Cherry blossoms were in full bloom when I went there. There are many commodities and delicacies related to cherry blossoms in yoshinoyama. There are traditional cherry blossom cakes, cherry blossom jelly, cherry blossom ice cream, cherry blossom shapes, nuts filled with wild kudzu and Xianbei shortcakes made of cherry blossom leaves.
I tasted the unique persimmon leaf sushi here. The persimmon leaf sushi here combines the taste of persimmon leaves with sushi rice. The taste is very refreshing and very popular. Cherry blossom leaf cake is wrapped with cherry blossom leaves, so glutinous rice is mixed with the aroma of cherry blossoms. There are small shops selling local specialties near yoshinoyama, where you can buy konjac, bamboo shoots and cherry blossom ice cream.
This trip to yoshinoyama is the most unforgettable attraction in my tourist route in Kansai. The cherry blossoms here really deserve the title of the first cherry blossom viewing place in Japan, and the cherry blossoms all over the mountains make me reluctant to leave. Besides, the food here is delicious. The local people make full use of cherry blossoms and make all kinds of delicious food, which makes my mouth water. If you want to go to Japan to see cherry blossoms, you must not miss yoshinoyama, and definitely make your ticket to glad you came.
1. You can take the Shinji Yoshino Line in Osaka or Kyoto, and get off at Yoshino Station at the foot of yoshinoyama. The traffic is very convenient. The boarding fee in Osaka is 970 yen, and that in Kyoto is 2550 yen.
2. There are buses in yoshinoyama to and from Yoshino Shrine and Chongtaoguan. I suggest you take a bus to Mutaoguan first, and then walk down the mountain. Tourists with insufficient physical strength suggest this arrangement. Because there are many fights in yoshinoyama, it takes a lot of time to enjoy the scenery and take photos along the way. Because of the limited number of rides, it is very time-consuming and laborious to walk down the mountain if the last bus to the top of the mountain has already left.
3. During the cherry blossom viewing, the regular bus will be cancelled in the scenic spot. You have to walk to Chikurinin bus station, and then you can take the bus to Qianben, Australia. During the cherry blossom viewing, the bus will only run between Qianli Ning and Aoqianben. For a detailed bus schedule, please refer to the website of yoshinoyama Tourist Association.
