Yoshinoyama, better than cherry blossoms.

Posted Date: 2026/04/13

吉田ファミリー

This time, I took my elderly father to Yoshinoyama. We were, of course, planning to see the cherry blossoms, but unfortunately, they had already finished blooming. The guide made various suggestions, and we were able to see the opening of Kinpusen-ji Temple in Yoshinoyama. They also shared information about the history and specialties of Nara, which made us very satisfied. I appreciated their consideration for my father as well.

奈良の歴史、名物等を教えてくださって大満足でした。父の事も気を遣っていただき感謝。今度奈良へ行ったらまた同じガイドさんにお願いをしたいと思います。

Yoshino cherry blossoms with my elderly mother.

To fulfill my elderly mother's wish to see the Yoshino cherry blossoms, I requested a private sightseeing taxi. Both in the car and at the site, the driver was very attentive, allowing not only my mother but also me, the guide, to enjoy the cherry blossoms in Yoshino with peace of mind. I highly recommend this for group trips as well as for trips to honor parents.高齢の母の吉野桜を見たいという希望を叶えるため、貸切の観光タクシーをお願いしました。車内、現地ともに運転手さんがあれこれ気を配ってくださり、母はもちろんのこと、引率者の私も安心して吉野の桜を楽しむことが出来ました。グループ旅行にはもちろん、親孝行旅にも大変お勧めです。

Cherry blossoms in Yoshinoyama.

The cherry blossoms at Yoshinoyama were unfortunately delayed in blooming, but they provided other suggestions and guided me to the cherry blossoms along the Saho River embankment, as well as the full-bloom cherry blossoms at Asuka and Ishibutai. They accompanied me in Yoshinoyama, making the sightseeing experience smooth. I had knee pain, so moving around was quite difficult for me, and I was truly grateful for their assistance.

The stories about the history of Yoshinoyama during the car ride were also fascinating and enjoyable. 吉野山の桜は開花が遅れていて残念でしたが、他の提案をして下さり、佐保川沿い堤防の桜や飛鳥、石舞台の満開の桜に案内してくださいました。吉野山では付き添って下さりスムーズに観光出来ました。私が膝痛があり、移動が大変だったので、本当に有難かったです。車中での吉野山の歴史の話も興味深く、楽しかったです。

The private sightseeing taxi for the first time was the best.

I wanted to see the cherry blossoms at Yoshinoyama and searched for bus tours, but the times and dates didn't match up. Eventually, I ended up taking a private taxi for the first time, and it was a great decision.

Unlike tourist buses that can't access the narrow roads of Yoshinoyama, the taxi was able to navigate them, and we even stopped at a spot where the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. I had a very enriching experience. 吉野山の桜を見に行きたくてバスツアーとかを捜したのですが、時間や日にちが合わず、行き着いたのが初めての貸切タクシーでしたが、大正解でした。
ホテルまで来てくれて、目的地までの車中も平城京ができるまでの奈良の歴史の話などを運転手さんが聞かせてくれて退屈しませんでした。
観光バスが入れない吉野山の狭い道もタクシーだと入れたり、途中、満開の桜が咲く場所に寄ってくれたりして、とても中味の濃い時間を過ごせました。

They came to pick us up at the hotel and efficiently took us to famous sightseeing spots in Nara according to the schedule. Since it was a sightseeing taxi, the driver was well-informed and provided detailed explanations, making it very easy to enjoy the sightseeing.ホテルにお迎えに来て頂き、奈良の有名な観光場所にスケジュールを立てて段取り良く連れて行って下さいました。

The peak of the One Thousand Cherry Blossoms was already over, but...

We departed at 6 AM, and since it was a weekday, there was no traffic, allowing us to arrive at Yoshino early and explore at a leisurely pace. Unfortunately, we had missed the peak bloom, but there were still some beautiful blossoms, and we were able to visit the special worship at Kinpu Shrine.

On the way back, we were also guided to a burial mound, which was our first time, and my husband was very pleased.

On the way back, we were also guided to a burial mound, which was our first time, and my husband was very pleased.

Above all, being able to sightsee without waiting in line, climbing hills, or walking long distances was fantastic. The driver had extensive knowledge and provided thorough explanations, which made us very satisfied.

If we could have seen the cherry blossoms in full bloom, it would have been perfect, but I would love to try again! 朝6時の出発で、平日ということもあり、渋滞もなく、吉野にも早く到着し、ゆっくり回ることができた。
残念なことに、ピークは過ぎていたが、綺麗に咲いているところもあったし、金峯山寺の特別参拝もできた。
帰りには、古墳にも案内してくれて、初めてだったので、夫はとても喜んでいた。

なんと言っても、並んだり、坂を登ったり、長い距離を歩いたりせずに観光できたのは、最高でした。
運転手さんは、豊富な知識と丁寧な説明で、とても満足です。

これで、満開の桜が観られたら言うことはありませんが、また、リベンジしたいです？

The day before, after walking around Nara City and thinking, "I don't want to walk anymore!" using this sightseeing taxi was the best choice for us. Our driver, Mr. Sato, holds the qualification for the "Nara Mahoroba Certification," and during our round trip to Yoshino, he shared various stories about Nara and the Buddha. Once we arrived in Yoshino, he guided us around and provided explanations, allowing us to feel very close to the shrines and temples there.

Once we arrived in Yoshino, he guided us around and provided explanations, allowing us to feel very close to the shrines and temples there. The cherry blossoms were also amazing! While they were already finished at the lower Senbon, we were able to enjoy the blossoms at the middle, upper, and Oku Senbon. Even though it was a Monday, there were a lot of people, and if we had gone on our own, we wouldn't have been able to visit so efficiently and would have just ended up tired. I won't forget what you told us about Amida Buddha. Thank you, Mr. Sato. 前日､奈良市内を歩き回って「もう歩きたくない!」と思っていた私たちにとって､こちらの観光タクシーを利用できたこと､最良の選択でした。
運転をして下さった佐藤さんが「奈良まほろば検定」の資格をお持ちの方で吉野往復の道中､奈良のこと､仏様のこと等いろいろ話して下さり､また吉野に着いてからも一緒に回って案内､解説をして下さったおかげで吉野の神社仏閣をとても身近に感じることができました。
桜も最高でした♪ 下千本ではもう終わっていましたが､中､上､奥千本の桜を堪能できました。

The guide's commentary on the stopovers to Yoshino was very interesting, and I was able to see the thousand cherry blossoms in Yoshino smoothly and without getting tired. I'm glad I chose the taxi tour. I highly recommend it.吉野までの往復の経由地のガイド話も大変興味深く　吉野の千本桜もスムーズに　疲れることなく見ることができ　タクシーツアーにしてよかったです。オススメです。

Memories of Yoshino

Posted Date: 2021/09/14

よしくん

I participated in the Yoshino course.
I have an interest in the history of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, so I was able to visit places that are considered to be castle ruins in addition to the usual route.
I believe I had an original experience.
Thank you very much.吉野コースに参加しました。
南北朝時代の歴史に興味があるので、通常ルート以外に城跡と考えられる場所にも立ち寄ってもらいました。
オリジナルの経験ができたと思っています。
どうもありがとうございました。
