Yoshimizu Shrine Ichime Senbon

吉野町吉野山578

4.5(146)

One of the components of the UNESCO World Heritage site 'Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range', this shrine features Japan's oldest shoin (study room) and a famous garden created by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. From the shrine grounds, visitors can enjoy the cherry blossom landscape known as 'Ichime Senbon' (a thousand trees at a glance).

History

It is said to have been established during the Hakuhō period by En no Gyōkō as the Yoshimizu-in monastery of Kinpusen-ji Temple. During the Northern and Southern Courts period, it served as a traveling palace for Emperor Go-Daigo, and in 1594 CE (Bunroku 3), it became the main headquarters of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. In the Meiji period, it was reorganized into a shrine following the separation of Shinto and Buddhism, becoming the current Yoshimizu Shrine.

This is a place where you can enjoy the spectacular view of cherry blossoms spreading across Mount Yoshino, particularly renowned for the mountainside turning pink during the blossom season. The approach path involves uphill and downhill sections, taking about 25 minutes on foot from the tourist parking lot. While it gets crowded during the cherry blossom season, it is relatively quiet and suitable for worship on weekdays in autumn.
