Nagaoka-gong-gyodo Chōdō-in Park
Nagaoka-kyo, which was said to be the phantom capital, flourished as a capital city for about 10 years, starting in November of the third year of the year (784). The Nagaoka Palace, where the Emperor was in charge of politics, is located on the northern edge of the capital, including the Imperial Palace (inner and back) and the National Assembly Building (Taikyuden, Chōdōin), as well as a section with important palaces where the government offices of the Nikanpachi province are located. The unearthed artefacts, such as the Kizaku, are on display at the Mukoichi Cultural Museum (telephone: 075-931-1182). The site of the Daichi-den was designated as the first historic site park in Japan in 1965. We are guided by the history and highlights of Changokakyo.
