Description complète

Asuka est l'endroit ou le Japon a commence, et presque personne n'y va. Avant Nara et bien avant Kyoto, cette vallee dans les collines au sud de la ville de Nara abritait la cour imperiale, a accueilli le bouddhisme venant du continent, et a produit le premier etat japonais reconnaissable. Elle a recemment ete inscrite au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO, et ressemble encore a des terres agricoles, des rizieres en terrasses, des fermes en bois, des collines basses, et des monuments de pierre assis dans des champs sans personne autour d'eux.

Les velos electriques sont le bon outil ici. Les distances entre les sites sont de quelques kilometres et le terrain ondule constamment ; l'assistance electrique l'aplanit pour que vous passiez le trajet a regarder le paysage plutot que vos propres genoux. Vous recuperez les velos au point de rendez-vous dans le village d'Asuka et roulez a travers les rizieres.

Le kofun d'Ishibutai est la piece maitresse : une chambre funeraire du septieme siecle dont le monticule de terre s'est erode, laissant les pierres megalithiques entierement exposees. La pierre de couverture seule pese environ soixante-dix tonnes, et vous marchez a l'interieur. Personne n'est certain de qui y est enterre, bien que la theorie dominante pointe vers Soga no Umako.

Les arrets plus etranges viennent apres. Kame-ishi, la pierre tortue, et Sakafune-ishi, la pierre bateau de sake, sont des objets en granit sculptes dont le but est veritablement inconnu, les theories vont des instruments astronomiques aux recipients rituels aux ornements de jardin, et aucune n'est confirmee. Votre guide vous donnera les arguments concurrents plutot qu'une reponse toute faite, ce qui est plus honnete et considerablement plus interessant.

Les groupes sont limites a quinze. Une capacite de velo de base suffit. L'attrait ici est l'absence d'autres personnes, donc si Kyoto vous a epuise, c'est l'antidote.
