Ancient History Cycling in Asuka Village

Asuka Village, dotted with palace ruins and burial mounds from the Asuka Period (6th-7th century), is "Japan's ancestral homeland of the heart." By rental cycle, you can tour major heritage sites including Ishibutai Kofun, Takamatsu-zuka Kofun, Asuka Temple, Kame-ishi, and Saru-ishi in about 3 hours. The emotion when discovering mysterious stone structures standing quietly in the rural landscape is extraordinary. If you prepare at the Asuka Museum before setting out, you can gain a deeper understanding of the significance of each heritage site. There's also an opportunity to rest at Asuka Dream Sales Shop along the way.
