Main route Sakurai
Yamonobenomichi is good for hiking. It is the oldest trail recorded in Japan. It is about 20 kilometers from Asuka to Nara.
This unspoiled trail is great for a leisurely idyllic stroll through the past, as it takes you by temples, shrines and tumuli.
Point1
The entrance is Sakurai Station (JR/Kintetsu). It might be complicated the way to“Tsubaichi” at the southern end. Therefore it would be good choice to get information at an information bureau at the southern entrace, or walk along the sidewalk which has signs for Sakurai on it.
Point2
Please take rest at Rekishikaido i center in front of Chogakuji temple in the trail. If you would like to see the trail without walking, you can enjoy the scenery in the train (JR) between Nara and Sakurai Stations. If you would like to see the trail by car, you ought to drive between Nara and Sakurai on National Route 169.
