Hanayagura Observatory

The best lookout point in Yoshino.

Only a short walk up a steep slope from the main town, this observatory features superb views over Yoshinoyama. For visitors looking to explore the surrounding area, just two minutes away, locates the serene Yoshino Mikumari-Jinja Shrine that offers beautiful scenery of weeping cherry blossom trees in the spring time. Visitors can also venture ten minutes down the hill to meet Chikurin-in Temple and garden.
