What You Will Do
Come with us to discover Kashihara, with its glorious past, for a day!
Kashihara was the first capital of Japan. We start the tour with Shinto Kashihara-jingu Shrine (1889). The first imperial palace, dating from 660 BC, was built on this site and now Emperor Jinmu, the first Emperor of Japan, is venerated there.
Your guide will then accompany you through the picturesque streets of Imai-cho. We walk around this traditional Japanese city that preserves its Edo-era architecture. Once a temple city, Imai-cho became an active trading city during the Edo period. Its well-preserved buildings offer a fascinating glimpse into Japan’s past.
After this day, you will learn more about the origins and exciting history of Japan and you will leave memories full of eyes. Are you coming? We are waiting for you!
