It's a quiet place, maybe good for lounging by yourself.There's a museum in the back.There's an event held once a year at the rural plaza.It's Tochigi City's most disappointing spot, and they spend their tax money on it half-heartedly. 🐰

(Translated by Google) If you live in the Kanto region, we recommend visiting the ruins of Kokubunji, Kokubunji, Ichinomiya, and Sosha in each old country on holidays. You can rent a bicycle at Koganei Station and immerse yourself in the ancient romance. There are also museums. (Original) 関東在住の方ならば各旧国の国府跡や国分寺跡、一宮、総社を休日に巡ってみるのおすすめします。 小金井駅でレンタサイクル利用してゆっくり回れて古代の浪漫に浸れます。各資料館もあります。

As others have said, it's more worth seeing if you listen to the story at the museum on the north side before seeing it. It is said that it is rare in Japan that the remains of the national government office remain so clearly. I was deeply moved when I thought that Michizane Sugawara, Masakado Taira, and Hidesato Fujiwara were there. There are many people in Tochigi Prefecture who don't know about its history, so this place is necessary to convey that history. Only the front shrine has been reprinted; there is a shrine where the main shrine was. There is also evidence that they lived south of here. This is an irresistible place for history buffs.

Compared to Shimotsuke Kokubunsoji Temple and the ruins of a nunnery, it is hard to say that it is well organized. I would like you to cut down the weeds that are growing as fast as they can.

It was my first time visiting. A facility suddenly appeared in a remote area. It was a space where time passed so slowly, it felt like I was in another world.

We were shown a video of the restoration of the front building of the Shimotsuke National Government Office site. As a result of that modest investigation into the ruins, this kind of restoration came about. It must be the result of the enthusiasm of the people involved. I'm impressed.

It is a place where the sunset is beautiful. It must have been a long time ago.

The front hall has been restored, and the side hall is marked with a wisteria trellis. Depending on the season, the area is littered with dead leaves, making it difficult to walk around.

After hearing about it at the museum on the north side, I was even more moved.

The museum was closed.

It's a shame that so few people come even though the appeal is so poor that it remains undeveloped.

It's full of grass, but that's a good thing because it gives off a nice atmosphere.

The main body of the National Government Office has disappeared, and Furui Shrine has been built on the site, so I feel a bit confused.

Tochigi City, Tochigi Prefecture “Shimono National Office (Kokufu) Ruins” (Shimotsukekokuchoato) A government office established to govern the region during the Nara and Heian periods. there are 4 buildings The west and east side halls are only foundation pillars. The entire front hall has been restored. A shrine is currently built on the site of the main shrine and has not been surveyed yet, so I hope the shrine will be relocated and excavated. In Shimotsuke no Kuni (Tochigi Prefecture) Other "Shimono Kokubunji / Nunnery" "Shimono Yakushiji Temple" etc. Historic sites from the Nara period remain many places That's amazing✨

(Translated by Google) I went in early July, but I felt that the grass was growing up to my knees and did not maintain it, so I did not want to enter the site too much ... (Original) 7月上旬に行きましたが、草がひざまで生い茂り整備をしていないように感じ、あまり敷地内に入りたいと思いませんでした…

(Translated by Google) The ruins of the government office of the ancient Shimotsuke country ☺ It is the prefectural government nowadays 😁 Even if it is seen nationwide, there are very few places where the ruins of the government office have been clearly confirmed, and it is a valuable cultural heritage ✌ (Original) 古代下野国の政庁跡☺今でいう県庁です😁全国的に見ても、国庁跡がハッキリと確認されているところは非常に少なく、貴重な文化遺産です✌

(Translated by Google) When I visited again for the first time in 10 years, I was surprised that it was so desolate. Leave it alone! It's like a ruin. Even though it was early May, the grass was so dull that my feet got wet with dew by the time I went to the side of the building. It's not such a large site, so why don't you use a lawn mower once in a while? There is also a museum right behind. I often doubt that the staff can work near such an all-you-can-eat. I feel weird and uncomfortable. If you clean it and put it on the outdoor table, you can eat lunch there! (Original) １０年ぶりくらいに再訪したら、めっちゃめちゃ荒れ果てていてビックリしました。ほったらかし！まるで廃墟のよう。まだ５月はじめだというのに草ぼうぼうで、建物のそばに行くまでに草露で足が濡れてしまったほど。そんなに広い敷地じゃないんだからたまには芝刈機くらいかけたらどうです？真裏には資料館もあるんだから。職員もよくあんなあれ放題の近くで仕事できるなぁと神経疑います。私なら不気味な気持ちになり不快だわ。キレイにしてアウトドアテーブルでも置けばそこで弁当とか食べれるでしょーに！
