Vue d'ensemble
Ujigami Shrine holds the distinction of containing the oldest surviving shrine architecture in Japan. Its main hall, dating to the late Heian period (late 11th century), is a National Treasure that provides invaluable evidence of ancient shrine construction techniques. The worship hall, a Kamakura-period structure in the elegant shinden-zukuri residential style, is also a National Treasure. Despite its modest size, the shrine's architectural significance earned it UNESCO World Heritage status as part of the 'Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto.'
