Come with me, certified interpreter-guide, to discover Yoshino, in the South of Nara prefecture! Surrounded by nature and inside mountains, Yoshino is the place to visit especially during the beautiful sakura season, better between April 13~15. But even out season, Yoshino is a high place of History, mostly with the Southern Imperial Court of Japan (14th century).

In this tour, you will experience nature and history. Yoshino is quite far from the central places of Kansai in Japan but it is relatively easily accessible. There are a few walks to do, mainly in the beginning in Okusenbon but the view is worth it, especially during the Sakura season.

Mouloud does not just guide us, he tells us the historical background of Mt Yoshino and how some of the Japanese culture and history relates to the mountain, temples and shrines. It was educational. Mouloud was also patience with us as we have a member of the group who couldn’t move as fast as the others. Overall, it was a good day trip. Tiring but enjoyable. Thanks Mouloud. TC
Thank you TC for booking my tour and for your great review! I am glad you liked the tour even if it was tiring. I hope to see you again!
I had an excellent half day tour with Mouloud in Nara. We visit many places including Kasuga Taisha Shrine, Todaiji, Bald Mountain and the Nara park. I learned a lot from Mouloud's explanation about the above places and they made me appreciate Nara more. I especially remember his guidance on how to feed Nara's deer. Thank you so much for making my trip to Nara enjoyable and I'd definitely recommend him as a guide to everyone who wants to visit Nara.

Mouloud did a great job I strongly recommend him
Thank you Bernard for your booking and for your kind review. I am glad you are satisfied!
We spend a great day with Mouloud! Consideration was given to our preferences, for example we made a Sake tasting. Mouloud showed us the most important sights and he know everything well. Because he knew japanese well we did not have to worry about anything. In the end we had a great Kobe beef meal.
