The Minamishigachō temple ruins (南滋賀町廃寺跡, Minamishigachō Haiji ato) is an archaeological site with the ruins of an Asuka period Buddhist temple located in the Minamishiga neighborhood of the city of Ōtsu, Shiga Prefecture, in the Kansai region of Japan.

[1] The Minamishigachō temple site consists of some traces of building foundations arranged in a format similar to Kawara-dera in Asuka, Nara.

The site is roughly contemporary with the Ōmi Ōtsu Palace, but does not appear in any historical documentation, and even the name of the temple is unknown.

The site, which was backfilled after excavation, is located about a five-minute walk from the Minami-Shiga Station on the Keihan Electric Railway Ishiyama Sakamoto Line.

From the size of this foundation stone, it is estimated that the pagoda had a height of around 30 meters, indicating the large scale of this temple when originally completed.
