1. Kuni-kyōKuni-kyō (恭仁京, or Kuni no miyako), was the capital city of Japan between 740 and 744, with the palace (恭仁宮 Kuni-kyū or Kuni no miya) built in present-day city of Kizugawa by order of Emperor Shōmu. The city of Kuni-kyō was not completed, as the capital was once again moved to Naniwa-kyō, only four years later. Excavations so far (as of 2006) have revealed key buildings, laid out following the Chinese pattern, as the Daigokuden (大極殿) and Dairi (内裏).
