Ancient tomb in Asuka

Nara, a landlocked prefecture in the Kinki Region, is the cradle of the Japanese civilization. Many of the early emperors built their palaces in Nara Prefecture, formerly known as Yamato. In 710, Nara was selected as the location of Japan's first permanent capital, Heijo (today's Nara City).
