2022/07/17 (14:00) SUNDAY Historical and nice place to visit . It was not so crowded But still there were people . There is only stone to watch but you can enjoy the view and ride rental bicycle 🚴and enjoy the scenic view. Admission fee 🎟 is for ¥300 adults and ¥200 for Childrens but make sure there is nothing but only the giant stones only . Toilets 🚽 are available . Vending machines and food courts are also available. Car 🚗 parking is for ¥500 per day and bus 🚌 parking for ¥3000 per day . Wheelchair ♿️ person may get little trouble to travel this place but they can enjoy it from far but there are stairs so I think it would be tough for them be careful . staff were helpful and nice . Only cash 💰so be careful to carry cash . Worth visiting .

The park around here is so lovely, pictures don't do it justice! Great to have a little picnic and walk around. I could see there was bicycle rentals available, and a shop with a restaurant. We thought parking would cost money, but found a small place for free. Entrance to see the large rocks costs money, but you can just go up the hill a little to a view point and see it for free a little further away.

It’s interesting, and there is a printed sheet in English explaining the site. As with most sites in Nara, there is a ¥300 charge - but I’m not sure it’s worth it unless you are a student of archeology or burial chambers in particular.
