Osaka Side Trip to Yoshino in Nara

Read the details of this side trip from Osaka to Yoshino:

In this video we will be making the short side trip from Osaka to Yoshino, a quaint mountainside town in Nara Prefecture. Although known for being a premiere cherry blossom spot in spring, year round it is a worthwhile destination. The area has a rich and significant history and is also one of the most important centers of Shugendo mountain worship in all of Japan.

I visited Yoshino in 1992. It was a wonderful experience. I wish I once again go there.

Yoshino was already on my list for next year, now it's on top of it. Thank you.

I just love your your videos.
It's the most underrated channel regarding Japan but has a very bright future. Good luck guys.

I feel like weekend getaways in Japan do alot of healing to get you through the next week. It always looks relaxing and calm.

An idea for future videos: could you please specify during which month/season you travelled? I love your videos, and they give me great insight and info for future trips, but that's something that was missing IMO.
Many thanks for your work!

I really enjoy watching your videos. You are so talent.!!! Είναι πολύ σημαντικό που δίνετε πληροφορίες πώς να παει κάποιος στον κάθε προορισμό, και τι εισιτήρια χρειάζεται, εισηγήσεις για το πού να μείνει κάποιος και που να πάει για φαγητό.Μπράβο τα έχει όλα αυτό το βίντεο!

Awesome - would love more about Shizuku, Kyushu, West Japan and

[doioz]

I want to see a "Best of Sam Evans nodding over great food"-video please

[lucianoarrieta]

I just realized that if Sam kept all the yukatas he got in each ryokan, onsen and hotel he visited his wardrobe would be a literal stylish map of Japan 😅

Is this trip doable if I leave Osaka around 8am and planning to be back around 5pm on the same day? And still enjoy it? :D

Great channel by the way! I wish I found it earlier.... All the info you need in a small portion full of insight, landscapes and awesomeness ^^

[kevinorquia]

Sorry for the silly question sir Sam but how did you manage to go there during the sakura season and there's just not so many people in your video? You are worth all the envy.

The Osaka Side and The Dark Side really different now...

[randit]

Each time this guy nods after eating something, I want to slap him in the face. Metaphorically of course.

[mrexpatman]

Too many camera movements, I feel nausea. 🤢. Sorry can’t finish watching it.
