Unzen Shrine, Onsen shrine in Unzen Onsen, Japan
The Unzen Shrine stands in a central location within Unzen Onsen, featuring the traditional nagare-zukuri architectural design with its distinctive sloping roof structure.
The shrine transformed from its original form as Shimengu Shrine to its present designation as a kensho shrine in 1914, incorporating elements of Shinto practices.
The shrine maintains connections to the local thermal springs, representing the spiritual relationship between Japanese religious traditions and natural hot spring waters.
