      I went Mt.yoshino 3 days ago.

     Mt.yoshino is famous for its beautiful scenery.

      This is one of UNESCO World Heritage National Park.

      In Spring and Autumn,a lot of people visit there.

      (In Spring,many people visit there to see beautiful cherry blossom.) 

      The whole mountainside was ablaze with scarlet-tinged leaves.

      The  history of this mountain dates back to the 7th century.

     This mountain has a long history.

      Many historic event happend,
      and many historical people visited this mountain.

      For example,

      Yoshitsune,Japanese famous samurai,
      hid in this mountain about 1000 years ago,

      because  he  was defeated in battle,and he had a very narrow escape.

      The history of Mt.Yoshino is interesting.

      I would like to show you some of photos of this mountain.

This tree is called "Momiji" in Japan.

In autumn,many mountains are ablaze with scarlet-tinged Momiji leaves.

Mt.Yoshino is one of them.They are so beautiful.

This is the road to summit of this mountain,lined with beautiful Momiji trees.

This road is good hiking course,too,so is very popular among middle-aged people.
