[Exclusive Discount] Osaka Departure: Cherry Blossom Season Nara Mount Yoshino Day Bus Tour

A day surrounded by cherry blossoms,
From a healing walk in Nara to the sacred Mount Yoshino

This tour efficiently connects Osaka with Nara and Mount Yoshino. In Nara, enjoy a park stroll and the city's atmosphere, while Mount Yoshino offers the grand scale of Japan's cherry blossom pilgrimage site. Each location includes ample free time, allowing for a relaxed pace of photography, walking, and rest. It's more like a convenient day trip that captures the essence rather than a rigid group tour.

The first stop is free time in the Nara Park area. In spring, various cherry blossoms bloom vibrantly, and you can capture deer and cherry blossoms in the same frame throughout the park. Lunch is free time, so you can choose where to eat around the park or near the transportation route. Afterward, if time permits, visit photo spots like Ukimido. Famous for its cherry blossom reflections on the lake, it's a great place to take memorable photos in Nara. Additionally, exploring Kasuga Taisha Shrine or Todai-ji Temple will further enhance your Nara experience. (Entrance and special worship fees are payable on-site.)

Mount Yoshino's Thousand Cherry Trees,
The overwhelming scale of a cherry blossom sanctuary

In the afternoon, move to Mount Yoshino for about 3 hours of free time. Mount Yoshino features cherry blossoms cascading from the foot to the summit, creating an overwhelming panoramic view. This is why the day tour leaves such a lasting impression. The walking route itself is a continuous photo spot, so taking your time along the scenic viewpoints will naturally result in great shots. The mountain path is quite beautiful, so it's recommended to enjoy it at your own pace rather than rushing.

During the cherry blossom season, it can get crowded, but the lively atmosphere is worth it. After experiencing Nara's historic charm, conclude with the grand scale of a cherry blossom sanctuary before returning to Osaka.
