What you can expect

Discover the ancient capital of Asuka, which has been described as the spiritual home of the Japanese people. Visit cultural assets and centers of worship in the Asuka area, such as Asukadera Temple and Asukani-ni-Masu Shrine, as well as experience walking through the peaceful countryside.

Asuka was the capital of Japan in 1400. Today, Asuka is a peaceful place surrounded by mountains and fields, but it was once a bustling capital that served as the eastern terminus of the Silk Road. The bustle of the capital soon disappeared when it was relocated to another part of Nara, and was soon replaced by a peaceful rural landscape.

In this tour, you will visit cultural assets and centers of worship in the Asuka area, such as Asukadera Temple and Asukani-ni-Masu Shrine, as well as experience walking through the peaceful countryside. Discover the gentle landscape and the profound history and culture that lies beneath it.
