Suruga kokubun-ji, Buddhist temple in Aoi-ku, Japan
The temple site spans 180 meters square and contains foundation stones of a pagoda measuring 16.8 meters at its base.
Emperor Shōmu established this temple in 741 AD as part of a nationwide network of provincial Buddhist monasteries during the Nara period.
Archaeological excavations between 1985 and 2009 revealed foundations of gates, main halls, and lecture rooms that followed traditional Buddhist architecture.
The temple received designated rice lands for maintenance and operational expenses, with documentation dating back to 927 AD.
The pagoda construction preceded other temple structures, indicating an existing religious site before the imperial decree for provincial temples.
