Overview

Come and visit Asuka, a village steeped in Japan’s protohistoric past.

On this tour on foot and by public transports, you will discover ancient Japan, with ancient imperial capitals (especially from the 6th and 7th centuries) and various sites reflecting the life of those times.

Asuka is a village of 5,620 inhabitants. We walk there while admiring the old town of Edo style architecture (16th-19th centuries).

Your guide accompanies you through the next UNESCO World Heritage Site “Asuka-Fujiwara: Archaeological Sites of the Ancient Capitals of Japan” (scheduled for 2026). We visit Asuka-dera Temple (596), home to the oldest Buddha in Japan (606). We go to the remains of the Itabuki Imperial Palace, then we go to Ishibutai, an ancient tomb of a 7th century nobleman.

After this day, you will learn more about the protohistory of Japan and you will have recovered in the middle of nature. Are you coming? We are waiting for you!
