Kokudo Annon-ji

The Kokudo Annon-ji temple features traditional Japanese Buddhist architectural elements with multiple halls and gates arranged in a systematic layout.

The temple was established during the Nara period under Emperor Shōmu's directive to construct provincial temples throughout Japan in the 8th century.

Regular Buddhist ceremonies and meditation sessions take place at the temple, maintaining centuries-old traditions of Japanese spiritual practices.

The temple site includes an archaeological park and exhibition center, which displays artifacts discovered during excavations that began in 1955.

Archaeological investigations revealed an extensive 218-meter square complex with tiled pathways connecting various ceremonial and residential structures.
