During the Asuka period, fearing invasions from China and the Korean Peninsula, Japan developed a beacon route from Kyushu through the Seto Inland Sea to Asuka.
Will the signal, relayed from Matsubara City<\/strong> to My\u014djin-yama in \u014cji Town<\/strong>, then via Katsuragi\u2019s Shiawase no Mori Park, successfully reach the \u201cdetectives\u201d waiting near Mount Unebi<\/strong>? Don\u2019t miss the program!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The episode also explores the Taika Reform (645 AD)<\/strong>, when Prince Naka no \u014ce (later Emperor Tenji) overthrew Soga no Iruka. More than a political incident, it was a sweeping reform that redefined Japan\u2019s state structure. The program investigates the real image of this great reform through archaeological finds beneath the NHK Osaka Broadcasting Station, unusual customs passed down since the Asuka period, and even defensive systems attributed to Prince Naka no \u014ce.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
