Tanba Kokubun-ji Temple

Kameoka, Japan

Tanba Kokubun-ji is a Buddhist temple in the Chitose neighborhood of the city of Kameoka, Kyoto, Japan. It belongs to the Jōdo-shū sect, and its honzon is a Heian period statue of Yakushi Nyōrai. It claims to be the successor to one of the provincial temples established by Emperor Shōmu during the Nara period (710–794). Due to this connection, the foundation stones of the Nara period temple now located to the south of the present day complex were designated as a National Historic Site in 1928 with the area under protection extended in 2006.
