Iki Kokubun-ji, Buddhist temple in Iki Island, Japan.

The temple includes stone foundations, remaining tiles, and six statues of twelve bodhisattvas within its archaeological site on Iki Island.

Established during the Nara period in 741 CE under Emperor Shomu's decree, the temple served as both a national temple and a family temple for the Iki clan.

The temple functions as an educational center where visitors can learn about the Buddhist heritage and religious practices of the Iki region.

Located in Ashibe-cho Kokubu district of Iki City, Nagasaki Prefecture, the temple grounds are accessible through local bus services with a dedicated stop.

The temple site contains a notable stone called Hesodake, which stands as a physical marker of the original temple location in the northwestern area.
