 1300 years ago, the capital of Japan was Nara.
I cycled on the east hill of the Nara Basin today. This route is called "Yamanobeno michi". There are many circular mounds, which exceed 250 meters in length. These mounds are surrounded by fields now.  |

The old forms of Shinto shrines remain. There is neither a sanctuary building nor an altar at Hibara Shrine. Christians interpret this as primitive culture but I think it is the spiritual essence of Japan.  |

Omiwa Shrine, Ichinomiya of Yamato country.  |

Because the way is narrow and there are many slopes and stone pavements, it is intended for mountain bikes. |
