A DAY DURING YOUR STAY
Ancient sites and countryside at your own pace
In Asuka, ancient sites sit beside everyday village life. Choose a few places to explore on foot or by rental bicycle, leaving time for the countryside between them.
01 · Morning
Choose a route and how to travel
Pick the sites you want to visit, such as Ishibutai Tomb. If cycling, choose a route that suits your energy and the hills.
02 · Lunch
Pause between the sites
Stop for lunch. If more places catch your interest, choose one for the afternoon rather than trying to see them all.
03 · Afternoon
Old stones and village lanes
Visit Kameishi or explore village lanes. Enjoy the fields from the paths, respecting them as places where people live and work.
04 · Back in Gojo
A little more time in the old town
After returning your bicycle, head back to Gojo. If you have energy, take a short walk along Shinmachi-dori.
Planning your day
Check bicycle reservations and return times. In hot or wet weather, adjust your route and consider local buses.
