Sagami Kokubun-ji, Provincial Buddhist temple in Kokubu-Minami, Japan.
The temple site contains a bell tower, main hall, and guest hall situated within grounds that maintain original architectural elements from ancient times.
Emperor Shōmu ordered the construction of this temple in 741 as part of a nationwide initiative to establish Buddhist centers in each province.
The temple bell from the Kamakura period holds the status of Important Cultural Property and represents medieval Japanese bronze craftsmanship.
Archaeological excavations between 1986 and 2006 revealed numerous structural foundations, which visitors can observe in the historic park setting.
The temple experienced fires in 819 and 878, leading to multiple reconstructions that incorporated architectural elements from different historical periods.
