Hi, I’m Tabi!
Explore tombs known for a huge stone chamber and painted walls. Mound access, museum admission and viewing original murals are separate matters.
This guide covers places within Asuka, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

Two places to begin
Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop
Ishibutai Kofun
石舞台古墳
A tomb with a massive stone chamber in Shimanosho; the buried individual is not conclusively identified. The February 2025 photograph shows the mound and chamber area from a distance. Check admission, parking and chamber access, and never climb the stones. Consult recent park bear-sighting and construction notices first.
Getting there Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
A tomb in Hirata, shown as an exterior mound in October 2020, not as a mural photograph. Visiting the mound does not provide direct access to the original National Treasure murals. Check mural-hall exhibitions, separate special viewings, park-building closures and paving notices independently.
Getting there Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
The tourism association describes Asuka-nabe, chicken and vegetables simmered in a milk-based broth. Check milk allergies and broth or seasoning ingredients. Seasons, reservations and menus vary by restaurant.
