Kamosu Shrine
Kamosu Shrine in Matsue, Shimane, enshrines Izanami, the primal goddess of creation and the underworld. Though modest in scale, the shrine holds extraordinary architectural importance: its main hall, built in 1583, is the oldest surviving example of taisha-zukuri style architecture and is designated a National Treasure. Set within a forest on a quiet hillside, the site offers a serene counterpoint to the grandeur of the nearby Izumo Taisha.
Current main hall built — now the oldest surviving example of taisha-zukuri architecture.
