Vue d'ensemble
This small-town shrine in Hitoyoshi holds an extraordinary distinction: five of its thatched-roof buildings from 1610–1618 were designated National Treasures in 2008 — the first thatched-roof shrine buildings in Japan to receive this honor. The striking combination of Southern Kyushu architectural style with Chinese and Buddhist influences makes it architecturally unique.
