Kofuku-ji is one of the Four Great Buddhist temples of Nara. One of it most distinctive features is its five-story pagoda. It was formed by the Fujiwara clan, who would later hold much of the power in Japan. Thus, it continued to have influence over the Imperial Family. When the Fujiwara's power declined however, so did the temple. While few of the buildings remain, it is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
