Buzen Kokubun-ji, Former Buddhist temple and historic site in Miyako, Japan
The archaeological site of Buzen-kokubunji extends across 1500 meters east to west and 1000 meters north to south in Fukuoka Prefecture.
Emperor Shōmu ordered the construction of this provincial temple in 741 AD as part of a nationwide network to promote Buddhism throughout Japan.
The temple complex included lecture halls, a cloister, and foundation remains that demonstrate the architectural standards of Nara period religious buildings.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site by taking a 30-minute walk from Toyotsu Station on the Heisei Chikuhō Railway Tagawa Line.
The temple grounds sit on a plateau between Imagawa and Haraigawa rivers, marking the central point of the ancient Buzen Province.
