    Nara Yoshino-gun Higashi-yoshinomura Ogawa 701

    桜で有名な吉野町から東に車で30分、東吉野村の旧街道沿いにあるお店です。街並みも風情があります。最中や栗羊羹など名物は他にもありますが、自分のイチオシは玄冬花と名付けられた水羊羹です。春のお彼岸ぐらいまでの冬季限定ですが、大と小があります。程よい甘さで、暖かい部屋の中で頂くと冷たさが心地よい美味しさです。手作りなので売り切れている時もありますので、在庫を確認してから訪れる方がいいでしょう。

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.
