Kashihara

Kashihara combines the calm of the Nara Basin with the gravity of Japan’s early state formation, reflecting its place in the historic Yamato heartland. Mount Unebi, one of the three sacred Yamato mountains, rises near the city and is closely tied to its oldest traditions. Kashihara Jingū, established in 1890, is dedicated to Emperor Jimmu, the legendary first emperor of Japan. The archaeological remains of Fujiwara Palace recall Fujiwara-kyō, which served as Japan’s imperial capital from 694 to 710.
