OVERVIEW

The “Yamanobe-no-Michi” is said to be Japan’s oldest road. During the Yamato period (4th century), when Nara was the center of the Yamato dynasty, it prospered as a network for the movement of people and goods. Along this road that connects present-day Nara City to Sakurai City, you’ll find sites with deep ties to ancient Japan, such as the Hashihaka Kofun, which is believed to be the tomb of Queen Himiko mentioned in ancient Chinese history, and the Omiwa Shrine, considered one of Japan’s oldest shrines.

Experience the lingering traces of ancient Japan on the Yamanobe-no-Michi. Enjoy the trek even more with a knowledgeable guide, helping you unravel the history as you go.
