The oldest shrine (that exists today) in Japan that was built in the late Heian period. Please feel its silent invitation to a world heritage.

Ujikami Shrine was designated as a world heritage by UNESCO as a “cultural property of ancient Kyoto”. Through the little gate reminiscent of Yamadera, the worship house (national heritage of Japan) awaits visitors.
Behind the worship house is the main shrine.
