Mikanohara

Japanese: 甕原 - みかのはら
Mikanohara
The name of the northern part of Kamo-cho, Soraku-gun, Kyoto Prefecture. It is also written as "Hara", "Mikahara" or "Mikahara". In ancient times, it was a key route from Nara to Iga and Shigaraki in Omi. The first historical document to mention this area in the Six National Histories is that Emperor Genmei visited the Migahara Imperial Villa on June 23, 713 (Wadō 6). This is where Emperor Shomu built Kunikyo, Yamashiro Kokubunji Temple and Kokubunji Nunnery. Excavations are being carried out by the Kyoto Prefectural Board of Education, Kamo-cho Town, and others, and the whole picture is gradually becoming clear. After the Heian period, the villa and temple were abandoned, and the area was turned into a manor called Migahara Manor.

京都府相楽郡加茂町の北部の地名。〈原〉〈三日原〉〈三香原〉とも記す。古代において,奈良から伊賀,近江信楽(しがらき)へ向かう要路であった。713年(和銅6)6月23日に元明天皇が甕原離宮に行幸したことが,六国史における初見史料である。この地域に,聖武天皇による恭仁京(くにきよう)や山城の国分寺,国分尼寺が造営された。京都府教育委員会,加茂町等により発掘が進められ,その全貌が明らかになりつつある。平安時代以降,離宮,寺なども廃され,一帯が甕原荘として荘園化された。
