Tomb of Oharida Yasumaro, Historic burial site in Nara, Japan.

The Tomb of Oharida Yasumaro is a historic burial site in Nara dating from the early Heian period. The stone structure and surrounding landscape display traditional Japanese burial architecture that is carefully maintained.

Oharida Yasumaro was an 8th-century court official who became known for his work in Japanese literature and administration. The tomb stands as evidence of his significant role in early Japanese scholarship and imperial service.

The tomb reflects how ancient Japanese society honored high-ranking court officials through burial design. The arrangement and structure of the site speak to the importance of Yasumaro's position in imperial circles.

The tomb is accessible from Kintetsu-Nara Station via a marked pathway, with information panels available in multiple languages. The visit works best in dry conditions, as the pathways around the site are narrow and naturally surfaced.

Archaeological artifacts found at the tomb document the shift from oral to written communication in early Japanese society. These findings offer rare insights into the development of Japanese writing and knowledge preservation during this period.
