What's Osaka Nara Historical Roads Relay Walk ?
 |
In 2010 Nara City will celebrate the 1300th anniversary of Nara Heijo-kyo
Capital. In commemoration of this event, we will visit our four ancient
capitals of Naniwa, Asuka, Fujiwara and Nara and their cultural spheres. |
 |
We will walk on the road from Naniwa Palace Site to Nara Heijo-kyo Palace
Site in 15 installments. The special characteristic of this Relay Walk
lies in the fact that the programs have been prepared by volunteer guides
of the respective areas by themselves. Every time, local volunteer guides
will walk with you. |

The Relay Walk starts from Naniwa Palace Site
on September 24, 2007. |

Palace Site, which was the capital during the reign of Empress Jitoh |

Palace Site. |
