It is the starting point for a pilgrimage trail up Mount Yoshino to a shrine. Mount Yoshino is famous for its many thousands of sakura (cherry) trees. These flowering specimen trees were planted in four groves at different altitudes, in part so that the famed trees would come into bloom at different times of the spring.--Wikipedia. Note: Kimpusen-ji (Kinpusen-ji) is the head temple of a branch of the Shugendō religion called Kimpusen-Shugendō in Yoshino district, Nara prefecture, Japan. According to tradition, it was founded by En no Ozunu, who propagated a form of mountain asceticism drawing from Shintō and Buddhist beliefs ... Kimpusen-ji is a junction in a series of stops on pilgrimage routes.--Wikipedia.
