Kōzuke Kokubun-ji, Buddhist temple ruins in Maebashi, Japan.
The temple site features reconstructed foundation stones of a seven-story pagoda measuring 19.2 meters on each side with 17 stone pillars.
Emperor Shomu ordered the construction of this temple in 741 CE as part of a network of provincial temples across Japan during the Nara period.
The Guidance Center displays scale models of the original seven-story pagoda and exhibits archaeological findings, including roof tiles from the temple site.
Visitors can reach the temple ruins by taking a bus from Maebashi Station to Kokufu Elementary School East stop, followed by a five-minute walk.
The temple grounds maintain their original layout with reconstructed earthen walls built using the ancient ramming technique called hangiku method.
