30 Reviews Details

The village of Asuka, in the Takaichi District of Nara Prefecture, whose name was once written with the characters for “Soaring Bird,” is well-known as the ancient birthplace of the nation we now call Japan. The Asuka Historical Museum was opened in 1975 to investigate, research, and exhibit cultural properties from the area around Asuka Village. The museum has artifacts excavated from sites like the Takamatsuzuka Tomb on permanent display, teaching visitors about the history and culture of Asuka from the time Buddhism was conveyed to Japan in the sixth century up to the transition of the capital to Nara in the early eighth century. The museum also contains a recreation of the Yamada-dera Temple, an early Buddhist temple erected by Soga no Kurayamada no Ishikawa no Maro, who was accused of treason after the Taika Reforms of 645.

建物に入る前に復元した石人像の噴水があります。松本清張の説では1500年前に渡来したイラン人だとか。後ろから奥さんが前の旦那さんの腰にそっと手を添えてるのが微笑ましいかったです。ちなみに資料館に入ってすぐに同じ石人像が展示されてます。こちらは本物だそうです。明日香村には土木技術の雰囲気がしますね。とても興味深い資料館でした。

Reviewed:2019/11/01 明日香から出土した資料が展示されています。

明日香から出土した土器や甲冑、川原廃寺のミニチュアなど飛鳥時代の資料が展示されていて勉強になります。館内の撮影はＯＫですが（一部除く）、外部への投稿は禁止ということで建物の外のみの様子を写真投稿します。

Nara Areas

With a reputation almost as stellar as that of Kyoto, Nara is a must-visit for those searching for the remains of "traditional Japan." The largely green Nara city holds the majority of the prefecture’s treasures, such as the iconic Todai-ji Temple, in which a 15-meter tall Great Buddha sits, and Nara Park, where deer flock to befriend passersby. While mountains are by no means hard to come by in this area, for hiking with a reward, head to the Kii Mountains’ Yoshino district in spring, when the hillsides put on an impressive display of white and pink cherry blossoms.
