Mount Yoshino (吉野山) in Nara Prefecture is yet another UNESC | Kyoto Insights ⎈

Mount Yoshino (吉野山) in Nara Prefecture is yet another UNESCO heritage site I wasn't aware of until my friends took me there for a sakura watching hike despite terrible weather. I would never go hiking in the rain alone, but since we already decided on the date in advance I couldn't bail out. Which was good, because the trip was unexpectedly enjoyable — the light was great for photos and low clouds adorned the hills just like in traditional ink paintings.
