Ikaruga Palace

Japanese: 斑鳩宮 - いかるがのみや
Ikaruga Palace

Prince Shotoku built this palace in Ikaruga (Ikoma County, Nara Prefecture) in 601 (the 9th year of the reign of Empress Suiko). In 643 (the 2nd year of the reign of Empress Kogyoku), the palace was burned down by soldiers of Soga no Iruka, and the prince's eldest son, Prince Yamashiro no Oe, who managed to escape, committed suicide at Horyu-ji Temple with his family. According to the "History of the Eastern Temple of Horyu-ji Temple," the Eastern Temple complex was built on the site of the palace in 739 (the 11th year of Tenpyo) at the request of Sozu Gyoshin. A group of post-hole buildings discovered underground during repair work on the Eastern Temple in 1939 (Showa 14) were accompanied by burnt roofing tiles, burnt wall soil, and ashes, and are believed to be part of the Ikaruga Palace.
