    Nara Yoshino-gun Tenkawamura Dorogawa
    "This mountain is the center of Omine mountain worship. The top of the mountain is a vast plain and in summer there is a beautiful field of alpine plant flowers. There is a ridge on the north side a short distance below the peak with steep rock cliffs on its east and west sides, and there are two spots called the ""Nishi no Nozoki"" (""West Lookout"") and ""Higashi no Nozoki"" (""East Lookout"") which are used for ascetic training purposes by adherents to the Shugendo syncretic religion. As befits a sacred mountain, there are many legends concerning the peak."

    Nara Yoshino-gun Tenkawamura Dorogawa 674-1
    This museum contains exhibits on the kinds of tools used as part of daily life historically in Tenkawa Village (such as tools used for mountain work, bent wood ladles, rice scoops, and sake barrel-making tools); as well as exhibits on the mountain worship which flourished and is still active in the area today. The entrance area, recently remodeled in 2006, also now serves as a gallery. In addition to exhibitions featuring paintings, photographs, woodblock prints, and other works of art connected to the area, the museum also holds talks and music events using a stage built around a traditional Japanese irori sunken hearth.
  • Ominesanji Temple
    Travel / Tourism
    Nara Yoshino-gun Tenkawamura Dorogawa 703
    According to records, this temple, a fundamental center for the Shugendo syncretic faith, was founded when the mystic En no Gyoja saw a vision of the deity Zao Gongen after engaging in a period of asceticism in 672 and carved a representation of the figure in a cherry tree, enshrining it in a temple. The temple's current main temple building was constructed in 1691. Thereafter, the temple expanded and reached its current scale in 1703. A rare extant example of a temple built on a high mountain and also one of the few remaining Shugendo temples, the temple is of high historic value and has been designated a National Important Cultural Property.

    Nara Yoshino-gun Totsukawamura Ohara 225-1

    あまご甘露煮、山菜、はちみつ、漬物のほか、木工品や手芸品など、山里らしい素朴な土産が色々ありました。4個で500円のめはり寿司は、おにぎりを高菜の葉で包んだだけですが素朴で美味でした。また、無料の足湯はドライブの疲れを癒してくれました。

    Nara Yoshino-gun Nosegawamura Iketsukawa 347

    鳥の囀りや、澄んだ空気で溢れていて、とても癒される場所です。参道ですれ違う人達に「今日は」と挨拶すると、「今日は、ようお参り」と声をかけ合うような、素敵な人達が何度も参拝に来る所です。様子からも、素敵な神様だと思いました。

    Nara Yoshino-gun Tenkawamura Dorogawa 784-32

    センターのテーマは自然,水,修験道だそうです.吉野熊野国立公園・大峯山系の自然を紹介する情報発信基地であり,大峯山行場西ノ覗の3D体験コーナーがありましたが,覗く姿勢が苦しかったです.その他の展示品は非常に少なく感じました.無料の施設ですが,コロナ禍でもあり,来客者は私たちだけでした.

    Flat of Nara Yoshino-gun Kawakami-mura Palace

    源流の森シアターは是非見た方がいいです、川上村の自然がよくわかります、ただ巨大なスクリーンが5面もあって首の移動が忙しい。 定期的に水源地の森ツアーを実施しているようなので子供連れにもお勧め 駐車場は国道から道を1本川側へ入った場所でエレベーターもあります

Nara Areas

around-area-map

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.
