Our guide
Yoshino-Kumano National Park, established in 1936, is made up of several separate areas in Mie, Nara and Wakayama. It includes Mount Yoshino, famous for its cherry blossoms, and parts of the Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range World Heritage Site; Cape Shionomisaki also lies largely within it.
The park is split into separate areas, so choose the one you want to visit and plan from there; we have not checked routes or conditions.
