Kashii Shrine
Kashii Shrine in Fukuoka enshrines Emperor Chuai and Empress Jingu — the shrine originated as a mausoleum for the emperor before being transformed into a formal Shinto shrine, a process documented in the early 8th century. It is one of Japan's Chokusaisha (shrines that receive imperial envoys for festivals), reflecting its historic status. The main hall is built in the unique kashii-zukuri architectural style, found at no other shrine in Japan.
Source: Formally established as a shrine in 724 CE.
