About this event
Set in and around Asuka Village in Nara Prefecture, the walking event "Walking Asuka, Savoring Asuka" offers a special day exploring the history and scenery of Asuka while wearing "ASUKA TABI (R) Travel Tabi" socks. Organized by Inoue Tengyokudo Co., Ltd. in collaboration with Econoleg Co., Ltd., this event emphasizes walking, feeling, and discovering the landscapes behind the design inspiration of the "ASUKA TABI (R) Travel Tabi" sock brand, which features motifs inspired by Asuka's culture, history, and scenery. For this 2nd edition, under the theme of "Colors," participants will reflect upon the world seen by people approximately 1,300 years ago through the colors depicted in the Takamatsuzuka Tomb murals. Beginning with commentary at the Asuka Historical Museum, participants will walk an approximately 9 km course encompassing the surroundings of Nakaoyama Tomb and Takamatsuzuka Tomb, and enjoy a special lunch unique to Hillside Asuka. Through walking, the familiar scenery of Asuka takes on new discoveries, making this a project where its charms can be experienced with all five senses. The event is held as a four-part series from November 2026 to February 2027, exploring Asuka's charms from multifaceted angles under different themes each time.
