Kudara-ji, Special Historic Site in Hirakata, Japan
The temple ruins contain foundation stones, archaeological remnants, and artifacts that demonstrate the architectural style of an 8th-century Buddhist complex.
Kudara no Konikishi Kyofuku founded this Buddhist temple in 750 AD after contributing gold for the construction of the Great Buddha at Todai-ji.
The archaeological site reveals the connections between Japan and the Paekche kingdom through discovered bronze casting facilities and architectural elements.
Visitors can reach the ruins by taking the Keihan Railway to Miyanosaka Station and following a 10-minute walking path to the site.
The excavations in 2005 uncovered fragments of a large bas-relief Buddha statue among approximately 300 pieces of ancient melting furnace remains.
