In the 69th order of the Nakasendō, the pure Nakasendō 67-juku from Itabashi to Moriyama, which surpasses Kusatsu and Otsu-juku shared with the Tokaido, Narai-juku is the 34th post town in the middle of the Nakasendō, counting from Itabashi-juku on the Edo side and Moriyama-juku on the Kyoto side. The post town that prospered with many travelers at the highest altitude of the 11 Kiso inns, ahead of the difficult Torii Pass, was called "Narai Senken". The townscape has been selected as a national important preservation district for groups of traditional buildings, and retains a strong trace of the past. Quote from Narai-juku Tourist Association Narai-juku

Evangelion really takes me back. I remember watching this when I was a kid and having no idea what was going on lol. I just remember seeing big robots fighting and thought it was the coolest thing. Come to find out the story was a lot more complex than I would have guessed lol. But then again I just thought the robots were cool. I remember watching stuff like Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Big-O, etc. etc. on Adult swim all the time. That was before I even knew what anime was. I just thought "man these shows are awesome" lol. It's interesting to think back on how much Japanese culture I was actually influenced by when I was younger without even realizing it. Maybe that's why I decided to learn Japanese in the first place. I was influenced by Japanese media without even realizing it. If that's the case then I'm thankful for it lol. Worked out great in the end!

Long day out today. Figured I'd check everyone's posts before bed and wow! I'd not heard of Mt. Yoshino, although I can see why Toyotomi Hideyoshi would have loved it. The scenery is truly beautiful here. I can't even imagine how beautiful the cherry blossoms must be if they're even more amazing than the snowy landscape in this photo. I suppose Kinpusenji Temple is the large building just to the right of the center of the photo. I'd love to give it a visit. It's Nara too, so hopefully I can see some deer during my visit. If not then I'll just have to stop by the park to watch people being chased for their crackers😂 Lovely place though, I'm interested in seeing what it looks like in Autumn as well. Japan never ceases to amaze me with it's colorful foliage so I can imagine Mt. Yoshino is no exception either!

Mount Yoshino is said to have been loved by Hideyoshi Ōko.
Mt. Yoshino is famous for its cherry blossoms, but the snowy scenery is also exceptional.
This scenery can be seen several times a year.
The snowy scenery dyed in white silver and the presence of Kinpusanji Temple are irresistible.
