Fujiwara-kyō (藤原京) was the Imperial capital of Japan for sixteen years, between 694 and 710. It was located in Yamato Province, having been moved from nearby Asuka. However, the name itself was never used in the Nihon Shoki; during those times it was recorded as Aramashi-kyō (新益京).

Currently, the submission is listed on the Tentative List.
Fukiishi were a means of covering burial chambers and burial mounds during the kofun period of Japan.
