Let's go to the ancient city
Maybe when you see the guide book, it says Nara is the oldest capital in Japn.
However, strictly speking, it is not true. Before Nara period, every time Enperor died, the capital was moved. Before Nara, that was Asuka area dating back to 6th century to 7th century
Now Asuka area is a very quiet and small moutainous area. you can hardly believe that here was a capital.
It is romantic filling your imagination !
Among them, there is an old temple called Asuka temple, which has an oldest Buddha statue. 
What is interesting is the different expression of the face when you see it from the left side and right side. One is strict expression and the other is gentle, according to the staff of the temple.
It is a very small temple but let's go to the trip to ancient time of Japan with the tour of the tombs.
