| Mimasaka Kokubun-ji (美作国分寺) is a Tendai sect Buddhist temple in the Kokubunji neighborhood of the city of Tsuyama, Okayama, Japan. Its honzon is a hibutsu statue of Yakushi Nyōrai. The temple claims to be the successor to one of the provincial temples established by Emperor Shōmu during the Nara period (710 – 794).[1] Due to this connection, the foundation stones of the Nara period temple were designated as a National Historic Site in 2004 with the area under protection expanded in 2009.[2] |
