Shining Zao-do Temple In The Sea Of Clouds Before DawnHanayagura Observatory (Yoshino Mountain)
When I arrived at three in the midnight, the sea of clouds had appeared and made the scenery more wonderful. I took this picture at 4:00. The sea of clouds changes its size and form every day, so you can see the various stunning view whenever you visit!◎I recommend to see Kinpusen Temple from Hanayagura Observatory! 3 min by rope way from Kintetsu Yoshino Station ( rope way opening season: 3/24-5/6, other season are undecided). 30 min by bus from rope way Yoshinoyama Station.
Yoshino Mountain is a famous cherry blossom spot in spring, and also its fall foliage in autumn is beautiful. The colored leaves spread to the whole of mountain, and it comes down gradually, so you can enjoy it for a long term. You must see them from Hanayagura Observatory!◎Sakura-momiji turns its colors earlier and Kaede-Momiji is just going to turn now! Illumination Event: 2017/11/3(Fri.)-26(Sun), 17:00-21:00
