Kinpusen-ji Temple in the Kii Mountains, Nara Prefecture | The Real Japan | HD
Yoshino is a town in the Kii Mountains, east of Osaka.
It’s the gateway to Mount Yoshino, known for the thousands of cherry trees that blossom in the spring.
The mountain is also home to the massive, wooden Kinpusen-ji Temple – the second largest wooden structure in Japan (after the Great Buddha Hall at Todai-ji in Nara).
It was completed in the second half of the 7th century.
Kinpusen-ji is one of the most important temples of Shugendo, a religion based on mountain worship that combines tenets of both Buddhism and Shinto.

My name is Rob Dyer.
I was born in England and now split my time between Japan and the UK with my Japanese wife.
As The Real Japan, I share inspiration and resources for discovering and exploring Japan beyond the cliches – The Real Japan. I have a passion for those off-the-beaten track places and I love to share my experiences.
If you’re really serious about discovering and exploring The Real Japan, I’ve personally put together a free guide to Amazing Adventures in Japan that you really need to get a copy of. In that guide I cover 5 (actually there’s 6 – but don’t tell anyone!) unforgettable adventures in Japan, spanning the northern most and coldest island of Hokkaido, through the main island of Honshu, and down to the sub-tropical southern island of Okinawa. What’s more, 2 of those amazing adventures are completely free – so won’t cost you a penny!
