If you start from downtown Nara, Takisaka Road serves as the first part of the Yagyu Kaido, the ancient road to Yagyu, a sacred place for samurai swordsmen.
The uneven stone pavement continues, believed to be a remnant of the renovation work done when the Yagyu clan became the official masters of swordsmanship for the Tokugawa Shogunate and were appointed as feudal lords.
As you walk along this road, you can enjoy the crisp, clear air while listening to the murmuring river and the rustling trees, which will refresh your mind no matter when you visit.
