Overview

Higashiyoshino is distinguished from other rural villages in Japan by two essential things: the last Japanese wolf was seen here, and the most interesting characters in Japanese history have passed through its mountains: Emperors who broke with the Court to make Nara the capital, Samurai who fought to the death to restore the Emperor, and all kinds of creatures and ghosts from the other world. Here, the mountains are the meeting point between this world and that of the dead, but they are also asylum and refuge. Samurai gossip, history, beer and onsen, this town has it all.
