    Bird Age の Emperor's Mausoleum, Octagonal Tomb

    Original Text

    Visited on the first day of Golden Week. It is 10 more than a minute walk from Asuka Station. It is highly likely that the tomb of Emperor Saimei is an octagonal tomb in the Asuka period, but the Imperial Household Agency has governed another tomb, so you can enter the site of the tomb. 100 If you go up the stairs, you will reach a stone tumulus. There is an explanation, and you can enter the horizontal hole and see the explanation VTR for about 3. You can see the whole view of the tumulus from the hill. There is no parking lot in the tumulus, but there is a temporary parking lot on the way ...

    Morning Bull - Ancient Tomb

    Original Text

    It was released in March 2022 at the tomb of Emperor Saimei. I went there for a few days when it was free, but now there is a charge. I walked a little from the parking lot, but I could see the view of Asuka Village from the hill of the tumulus.

    Well, what is it ⁉

    Original Text

    Even if the Imperial Household Agency does not recognize the imperial mausoleum of emperor Saimei, this before and after ... The ancient romance of the Before Kofun, which I went to visit when the blue sheet was covered with the burial mound, was felt, and the green of the stone chamber seen up close was vivid and impressed. Even after the tumulus, if you pay ¥ 500 and ask for a guide, it seems that you can open the gate to the point of the stone chamber and get closer, but this is completely like an attraction. Emperor Saimei and Princess OTA are also uncomfortable with such a before and after ...

    It's in a difficult place.

    Original Text

    I found it when I walked along the hill or the aze road toward the mountain. Unfortunately, it was covered with a black sheet and was under repair. However, it was located on a hill that was often written in Manyoshu, so there was no shield, and the view was very good and I enjoyed the scenery.

    Ancient graves

    Original Text

    Located on the east side of Asuka Station, opposite to Asuka's major tourist destinations. If you are a rental cycle, you can't go unless you cross a fairly steep slope. Recently, if you have a smartphone navigation system, you can easily go anywhere, but if you don't, it's a hard time going here. It is a historic ruin. However, I can't personally recommend it to those who are not interested in tumuli or history.
