The Nara National Research Institute for Cultural Properties (NABUNKEN) was established in 1952 to study “Heijo-Kyo”, the ancient capital of Nara Period from AD 592-710, and to excavate this gigantic site starting from 1959. NABUNKEN is the leading institution in Japan in research related to the Nara period, the Nara Palace, the Nara Capital, and immobile cultural heritage in general. In 1998, the Nara Palace Site earned a designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the "Historic Monuments of Ancient Nara."
