Asuka Okamoto Palace

Japanese: 飛鳥岡本宮 - あすかおかもとのみや

The Imperial Palace of Emperor Jomei and his Empress Saimei. According to the Nihon Shoki, in October of the second year of the reign of Emperor Jomei, Emperor Jomei built Okamoto Palace near Asukaoka, but in June of the eighth year, it burned down and he moved to Tanaka Palace. In 656, Emperor Saimei built Go-Asuka Okamoto Palace (later Asuka Okamoto Palace) in Asuka Okamoto and moved there from Kawara Palace, but it burned down in the same year. After the Jinshin War, Emperor Tenmu built Asuka Kiyomihara Palace to the south of Go-Asuka Okamoto Palace. Regarding the location of the palace, there are several theories about its location, including the eastern theory that it was located at the site of Daikandai-ji Temple (present-day Oyama, Asuka village, Nara prefecture), and that Asukaoka is the area stretching from Asukaniimasu Shrine (present-day Asuka, Asuka village) to Okadera Temple (present-day Oka, Asuka village), including the traditional site of Asuka Itabuki Palace (present-day Asuka village).

舒明天皇と皇后の斉明天皇の皇居。《日本書紀》によると，舒明２年10月舒明天皇は飛鳥岡のそばに岡本宮を営んだが，同８年６月炎上し田中(たなか)宮に移った。656年斉明天皇は飛鳥岡本に後飛鳥岡本(のちのあすかおかもと)宮を造り，川原(かわら)宮から移ったが同年炎上。壬申の乱後に天武天皇は後飛鳥岡本宮の南に飛鳥浄御原(あすかきよみはら)宮を営んだ。宮の所在地については大官大(だいかんだい)寺跡（現奈良県明日香村小山）の東方説，飛鳥岡を飛鳥坐(あすかにいます)神社（現同村飛鳥）から岡寺（現同村岡）にかけての地域と考え，飛鳥板蓋(あすかいたぶき)宮伝承地（現同上）を含む同地一帯とする説がある。
