Yoshino's cherry blossoms are not so-called "cherry blossoms planted for cherry blossom viewing," but have been carefully protected to this day as cherry blossoms of faith that have been closely linked to mountain religion since ancient times.

Its origins date back 1300 years. At that time, it was believed that gods resided in mountains and all natural objects, and Yoshino was recognized as a utopia where gods lived.

Enno Gongen (Enno Gyoja), who was later called the founder of Shugendo, delved deeply into Mt. Yamajogatake, and at the end of 1,000 days of arduous asceticism, he was able to perceive Zao Gongen, whose appearance was terrifying and angry. It is said that he carved it into a cherry tree and enshrined it on Mt. Sanjogatake and Mt. Yoshino, believing that it was meant to save the people of Japan.

Later, as the mystical tradition of En no Gongen and Shugendo flourished, cherry blossoms carved with the principal image were deemed suitable as sacred trees, and at the same time, people began to visit Kinpusen-ji Temple, whose principal image is Zao Gongen. It became popular, and cherry blossoms continued to be planted through the act of offering sacred trees.

In addition to the above, the Yoshino Town website has detailed information about poets, literary figures, and the history of cherry blossom viewing.
