The journey to make meaningful connections and discover the beauty of Japan begins here.
Yamato-Asuka New Tourism collaborates directly with regional municipalities (Asuka Village, Kashihara City, Takatori Town, Sakurai City, Uda City, Shimoichi Town) and various other organizations in order to promote a charming region utilizing local resources, support healthy youth development, and foster friendly relations with other nations and cultures.
Our primary focus, Minka Homestay, is a hands-on educational travel program that accepts roughly 6,000 students per year (as of 2019) from across Japan and the rest of the world for school trips.
Starting in 2022, we will also offer our website in English, enabling a wider range of travelers from across the globe to visit the Asuka, Yamato region. We hope your experiences with us bring a smile to your face and leave you with memories that will last a lifetime.
