Mino Kokubun-ji, Provincial temple in Ogaki, Japan

Located in the Aono district, the temple features a three-meter tall Yakushi Nyorai statue carved from keyaki wood and multiple stone foundations.

Emperor Shomu ordered the construction of this temple in 741 as part of a nationwide network of provincial temples during the Nara period.

The temple grounds contain numerous pagodas representing stations of the Shikoku pilgrimage route, allowing visitors to experience a condensed version of the journey.

The main Yakushi Nyorai statue becomes accessible to the public on the first three days of January and the eighth day of each month.

Excavations near the temple revealed ancient kiln sites that produced roof tiles, leading to their inclusion in the National Historic Site designation.
