The main hall, said to be the oldest existing example of Shinto architecture, was built during the Heian period (794-1185), and consists of three units connected in the nagare-zukuri style, with larger shrine units on the left and right, and a smaller center one. The prayer hall (a national treasure), is built in a shinden-zukuri-like residential architectural style. Together with Uji Shrine, this shrine is said to have originally been Shinto shrines on the grounds of Byodo-in Temple.
