Mount Yoshino is a mountain located in the town of Yoshino in Yoshino District, Nara Prefecture, Japan. Mount Yoshino was the subject of a waka poem in the 10th century poetry compilation Kokin Wakashū. It is also the subject of several poems in the Hyakunin Isshu. A 1714 account explained that, on their climb to the top, travelers would be able to enjoy the lower 1,000 cherry trees at the base, the middle 1,000 on the way, the upper 1,000 toward the top, and the 1,000 in the precincts of the inner shrine at the top.
