- Nara Pref. Yoshinoguntotsukawamura Tamaigawa 1
- Tamaki-jinja Shrine is a miraculous shrine near the top of the 1,076 meter Mt. Tamaki at the southern end of the Omine Mountains. Legend says that the shrine was built in 37 B.C. in the era of Emperor Sujin in order to guard against fire at the imperial castle and to ward off evil spirits. The shrine is on the World Heritage Omine Okugake-michi (paths) and has prospered as a spiritual retreat for Buddhist Shugendo followers from Kumano and Omine for a very long time. In the grounds of the shrine are gigantic cedar trees including some cedar trees said to be 3,000 years old, and in 2004 the temple was designated a World Heritage Site under the name Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range.

ここから吉野に向かう際洞川下市線48号をナビが示したので向かいましたが、とんでもない悪路の上、途中で通行禁止になりました。必死の思いでUターンして戻りましたが、対向車とすれ違い事のできない道です。 紅葉目当てなら11月中旬には訪れた方が良いと思います。 水行が出来る人工の滝がありました。 大峰山に修行に行く前のお寺です。 川を挟んだ所には昭和感いっぱいのレトロな旅館がたくさんあります。懐かしい...

- Nara Yoshino-gun Kawakamimura Shionoha 391
- A rare carbonic acid-containing alkaline spring was discovered while boring 150 meter into the ground in the Hato no Tani valley, leading to the building of the Shionoha Onsen Yumoto Yamabatoyu hot spring inn. The hot spring's waters are said to treat nerve pain, muscle soreness, joint pain, frozen shoulders, motor paralysis, chronic digestive diseases, chronic women's diseases, hysteria, sensitivity to cold, bruises, sprains, and nine other ailments. The inn's outdoor bath offers a sweeping view of a dam lake enwrapped in the Yoshino cedar forest, and as time passes its waters turn from colorless to a golden yellow; this coupling of gorgeous scenery and colored waters engenders a sense of paradise in bathers. The inn's cuisine, made with locally caught river fish, edible wild plants, and vegetables is also renowned, and dishes such as the Koyo Nabe hotpot, boar stew, and duck hotpot boast many fans.

The shrine is known to have been a key ritual site from the second half of the Nara period to the first half of the Heian period, making it a highly historically valuable shrine.

- Tanize Suspension Bridge
- Travel / Tourism
- Nara Pref. Yoshinoguntotsukawamura Tanize
- The Tanize Suspension Bridge is an iron wire suspension bridge over the Totsukawa River that the local villagers built for their own use and at their own expense in 1954. At a length of 297 meters and a height of 54 meters from the surface of the river, it is Japan’s longest suspension bridge for everyday use. Due to safety concerns, no more than twenty people can cross at the same time, and the way it sways when one walks on it makes for a thrilling experience. It affords a view of the clear waters of the Totsukawa River below and the wonderful scenery formed by the surrounding mountains. Crossing this bridge is said to be like walking in the sky. Please be aware that only one-way crossings are allowed during the Golden Week holiday period in May and the O-Bon festival period in the summer.

各神社への所要時間は下社－中社が45分、上社-中社も45分程度でした。下社-中社ですと70分から80分かかるのではないでしょうか？。これだけ離れた関連神社を巡るの初めてでした。どれも秘境感あふれる場所にあるので、ドライブがてら巡るのがよろしいのではと思います。

- Mt. Odaigahara

- Nara Pref. Yoshinogunkamikitayamamura Kotochi
- With a height of 1695 meters, Mt. Odaigahara straddles the border between Nara and Mie Prefectures and has been selected as one of Japan’s 100 best mountains. In addition, it was designated a national park in 1936. The mountaintop is broadly divided into two plateaus, the East Plateau, which contains numerous beauty spots, including Hidegatake Peak, and the West Plateau, which contains an primeval forest that is home to rare plants and animals. Since the West Plateau is a restricted area, hikers need to obtain a permit in advance. The mountain receives heavy precipitation throughout the year, and it is covered with one of the world’s several temperate rainforests.

- Wakayama Pref. Tanabeshi Ryujinmuraryujin 1020-6
- This roadside station is half-way along National Route 371, the Koya-Ryujin Skyline. It provides access for climbing nearby Mt. Gomadan and Mt. Ryujin, and the colorful autumn leaves of November aren't to be missed. As you might guess from the facility's name, it has a lookout tower. Thirty-three meters tall, it resembles the stacks of wood used in the Goma fire rituals of esoteric Japanese Buddhism. There's a great view of the nearby mountains and the ocean, and it's the perfect spot for taking in the night sky, too. Shiitake-bushi made of shavings from local shiitake mushrooms comes recommended as a souvenir. The restaurant features fare made from ingredients produced in Ryujin Village.

In addition, the museum has exhibits on the country samurai of Totsukawa and the rebellious Tenchugumi, and also displays an ancient engraved bell which has been designated a National Important Cultural Property."

- Mitarai Gorge
- Travel / Tourism
- Nara Pref. Yoshinoguntenkawamura Kitozumi
- Large and small waterfalls cascade into emerald green waters in this fantastical gorge. The sight of the forceful water flowing beneath the swinging bridge is as beautiful a scene can be. The natural beauty that can be seen by walking the paths along the river’s edge is beautiful in any season but the autumn foliage is especially recommended.
Nara Areas
With a reputation almost as stellar as that of Kyoto, Nara is a must-visit for those searching for the remains of "traditional Japan." The largely green Nara city holds the majority of the prefecture’s treasures, such as the iconic Todai-ji Temple, in which a 15-meter tall Great Buddha sits, and Nara Park, where deer flock to befriend passersby. While mountains are by no means hard to come by in this area, for hiking with a reward, head to the Kii Mountains’ Yoshino district in spring, when the hillsides put on an impressive display of white and pink cherry blossoms.
