A park featuring the ruins of the head temple of the former Kozuke Province (modern Gunma Prefecture).
The Kōzuke Kokubun-ji (上野国分寺) was a Japanese Buddhist temple located on the border of what is now the cities of Maebashi and Takasaki, Gunma Prefecture, Japan. It was one of the provincial temples established by Emperor Shōmu during the Nara period for the purpose of promoting Buddhism as the national religion of Japan and standardising control of the imperial rule to the provinces. The temple no longer exists, but the temple grounds were designated as a National Historic Site by the Japanese government in 1926.
