Tanba Kokubun-ji, Provincial temple in Kameoka, Japan.
The temple complex contains ancient foundation stones, a main hall, and a pagoda within a square compound measuring 218 meters on each side.
Emperor Shomu ordered the construction of Tanba Kokubun-ji in 741 during a smallpox epidemic to establish Buddhist teachings across the provinces.
The main hall houses a wooden Yakushi Nyorai statue from the late Heian period, which received recognition as an Important Cultural Property.
Located on an alluvial fan east of the Oi River, the temple remains open throughout the year without entrance fees for visitors.
The temple grounds include a native ginkgo tree called Chichi Icho, known for its characteristic of attaching seeds directly to its leaves.
