Uji Shrine, Shinto shrine in Uji, Japan.

The main hall of Uji Shrine exhibits a three-peaked nagare-zukuri architectural design, displaying traditional Japanese religious construction methods and craftsmanship.

Established in 313 on the former location of Emperor Ojin's detached palace, Uji Shrine maintains its position as one of the oldest religious structures in Japan.

The shrine holds numerous cultural artifacts, including wooden guardian dogs and Noh masks, representing centuries of Japanese religious and artistic traditions.

Located near Ujigami Shrine and accessible from central Uji, the shrine grounds remain open throughout the year for religious ceremonies and visitor exploration.

The shrine's main hall, constructed during the Kamakura period between 1185 and 1333, stands as an Important Cultural Property of Japan.
