Inaba Provincial Capital features the excavated remains of the Nara-period administrative and religious center of Inaba Province. Visitors can see the stone bases of government offices and a temple compound, with reconstructed pillars and wall outlines giving a sense of scale. The site offers a rare glimpse into the planning of ancient Japanese provincial cities and their integration of governance and Buddhism.
