Set in the historic heart of Asuka, the Complex of Manyo Culture celebrates the Manyoshu, Japan’s oldest and most revered poetry collection. Through engaging exhibits, dioramas, and artwork, visitors can explore the vibrant court life and spiritual aesthetics of the Asuka Period. It offers a fascinating window into ancient Japanese literature and the storied landscapes that inspired early poets. A visit here pairs beautifully with a bicycle tour around the scenic temples and burial mounds of the surrounding valley.
