Where the story of Japan quietly began.
Ancient tombs, sacred temples, and gentle rice fields spread beneath wide skies.
Welcome to Asuka, the birthplace of Japan’s history and spirit.
Where Japan’s Story Began
Long before Kyoto and Nara City flourished,
Asuka was the political, cultural, and spiritual heart of ancient Japan.
Between the 5th and 7th centuries, Japan took shape here.
A Tranquil Landscape Shaped by Time
Surrounded by gentle mountains and rice fields,
Asuka offers a rare sense of calm.
Ancient burial mounds and villages appear naturally
along walking paths and country roads.
