Nara-period Japan
In the Nara period the Japanese state had its first permanent imperial capital at Heijō-kyō (Nara), established in 710 after bureaucratic reforms. Except for 740–745 it stayed the capital until Emperor Kanmu moved the court to Nagaoka-kyō and then Heian-kyō. The period ended in 794.
