Sakurai Shrine, Shinto shrine in Minami-ku, Japan
The Sakurai Shrine features a main hall with a gabled roof covered in hongawarabuki tiles, representing traditional Kamakura period architecture.
The shrine dates from before the 6th century when the Sakurai clan used it to honor their ancestors before the local population dedicated it to Hachiman gods.
The shrine hosts the Niwadani no Koodori Festival on October's first Sunday, featuring traditional rain dances that originated at this location centuries ago.
Located at 645 Katakura in Minami Ward, the shrine opens daily from 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM with free admission for all visitors.
The oratory lacks a ceiling, allowing visitors to observe the roof support beams and underside structure from within the building.
