Yamashiro Kokubun-ji Temple

Kizugawa, Japan

Kuni-kyō (or Kuni no miyako) was the capital of Japan between 740 and 744, with its imperial palace (Kuni-kyū or Kuni no miya) built in what is now the Kamo neighborhood of the city of Kizugawa in Kyoto Prefecture. The ruins of the palace overlap with the ruins of Yamashiro Kokubun-ji, and both were collectively designated as a National Historic Site of Japan in 1957, with the area under protection expanded in 2007.
