Asuka

Rustic houses are scattered among rice paddies, surrounded by gentle mountains. This typical landscape of ancient Japan is preserved among the ancient ruins and surroundings of Asuka, an area that was the center of Japanese history for 100 years during the Asuka period (592-694). Start at Kintetsu Asuka Station. Touring by bicycle in a relaxed manner is recommended.
