We spent two days and one night exploring Nara, where the spirit of ancient Japan still lives on. 🌟

We cycled through the peaceful countryside of Asuka, home to historic sites that became part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2026. We then wandered through the beautifully preserved Edo-period streets of Imai-cho before spending the night at Nara's oldest soy sauce brewery.

The next day, we took a leisurely walk along the Yamanobe-no-Michi, known as Japan's oldest road, passing ancient shrines and burial mounds along the way.
