About
Come with us to visit Asuka, a village in the center of Nara steeped in Japan’s protohistoric past.
You will discover ancient Japan, the Yamato, with ancient capitals of Japan (especially from the 6th and 7th centuries) and various sites reflecting the life of then.
Asuka is a village of 5,620 inhabitants. On this day, we walk around 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 Japan’s Ancient Capitals” (scheduled for 2026). We visit Asuka-dera Temple (596), home to the oldest Buddha in Japan (606). We will go to Itabuki Palace, remains of an ancient imperial palace, then we will go to Ishibutai, an ancient tomb of nobleman of the seventh century.
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!

- 920narayana0 contributionsVSITING HIMEJI CASTLEMy wife & I went to Himeji Castle in Japan on April 7th 2024. We had an English speaking guide hired through Japan guide agency . Her name in Hiromi Mizoi...She is well versed with the History of the castle & her English explanation is very succinct to follow through. She climbs the narrow castle steps with vigor...We had a great timeWritten April 9, 2024
- E3722MLlouisj0 contributionsAmazing and Intimate Tour of Kyoto!Our guide took us to the imperial place, Nijo castle and Gion! It was such a fantastic tour, we learned so many amazing things about Kyoto’s history and famous sites! Highlight of our trip! Highly recommend!Written February 8, 2024
- Jet7871420 contributionsGreat Tour for Solo Traveler!As a solo traveler for the first time, I thoroughly enjoyed my guide, Mouloud! He was very informative and knowledgeable of Osaka and its history. We went to the Umeda Sky Building which I found facinating, then to Ohata Tenjin Shrine which I found was a sad, true story about two forbidden lovers who committed suicide, and off to the Japan Mint where I enjoyed the many varieties of Cherry Blossoms/trees. Overall, if we left out the shrine and added maybe more modern architecture onto the tour, I would have rated higher. Otherwise, Mouloud was great!Written April 26, 2023
- Trail717200 contributionsAmazing guideMouloud is an amazing guide. He is punctual, friendly and very knowledgeable. Since my husband and I speak very little Japanese we were grateful to have him around.Written October 12, 2020

今回はステレオタイプの奈良の観光ではないところを選びました。
そのため観光客は非常に少なく石舞台以外はほぼ私一人という状態でした。それでもボランティアの方が待っていてくれて丁寧な説明が聞けて素晴らしかったです。古墳時代は記録が少ないので、酒船石はなぜこんなものを作ったのか、10ｍ×７m×7.5mもの巨大な益田の岩船をどうしてこんな山の頂上まで持ってこられたのか、文字情報が少なく、当時の人々がどんな思いでこれらを作ったんだろうとても想像を膨らませることができました。
地図を見るといたるところに古墳があり、当時の権力者の思いが伝わってきます。２泊だと時間が限られていて十分満足できる観光はできませんでした。
また、レンタルサイクルで回るのが便利ですが、アップダウンが多かったので自力でこぐ自転車は大変でした。
