Higashiyoshino Village, at the foot of the Daiko Mountains in east-central Nara, is a village of "aesthetics of silence" enveloped in clear streams and deep forests. It has history as the final site of the "Tenchu-gumi," pioneers of the Meiji Restoration, with many historic sites dotted throughout. It is also known as the place where the Japanese wolf was last sighted, its mystical image sparking visitors' imaginations. You can experience Japanese spiritual culture living with water through river activities at the clear "Takami River" or worshipping at the beautiful "Niu Kawakami Shrine (Nakasha)." It is ideal for those wanting to escape tourism bustle and be healed by pure water and history.
