About this place
Hida Kokubun-ji (飛騨国分寺) is a Buddhist temple in the Sowamachi neighborhood of the city of Takayama, Gifu Prefecture, Japan, in former Hida Province. It belongs to the Kōyasan Shingon-shū and 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 pagoda located on temple grounds were designated as a National Historic Site in 1929.
