Hida Kokubun-ji, Buddhist temple in Takayama, Japan.
The temple features a three-story pagoda, a main hall with multiple Buddhist statues, and a 1250-year-old ginkgo tree on its grounds.
The temple was established in 746 CE under Emperor Shomu's decree to build provincial temples across Japan for national protection and cultural development.
The main hall houses the principal image of Yakushi Buddha, along with statues of Kannon Bodhisattva, Amida Buddha, and other Buddhist deities.
Located within 5 minutes walking distance from Takayama Station, the temple offers prayer ceremonies on the 8th of each month and local markets.
The temple grounds contain stone foundations of the original seven-story pagoda, with the central foundation stone made from local rhyolite.
