History

These are the ruins of the Musashi Kokubunji and Kokubuniji temples, established by imperial edict of Emperor Shōmu during the Nara period. The original Musashi Kokubunji was destroyed by fire during the Battle of Bunbai Kawara at the end of the Kamakura period. It was later rebuilt through donations by Shinden Yoshitsune. Today, the site is designated as a National Historic Site, and the nunnery area has been developed as a historical park.
