Chikuzen Kokubun-ji Temple

Dazaifu, Japan

Chikuzen Kokubun-ji is a Kōyasan Shingon-shū Buddhist temple in the Kokubunji neighborhood of the city of Dazaifu, Fukuoka, Japan. Its honzon is a statue of Yakushi Nyorai. It is one of the few surviving provincial temples established by Emperor Shōmu during the Nara period (710 – 794). Due to this connection, the foundation stones of the Nara period temple overlapping the present day complex were designated as a National Historic Site in 1922.
