A Shop by the Gates of Izawa-no-Miya
The Nakaroku Shop is a two-storey timber shop before the gates of Izawa-no-Miya, a detached shrine of the Ise Grand Shrine (Agency for Cultural Affairs). Its L-shaped hip-and-gable roof is tiled, and a small hip-and-gable wing on the ground floor adds variety to the exterior.
Why It Was Registered
The Agency notes the gable turned toward the shrine and the large full-height windows upstairs, which give a light, open exterior, and registered it for its contribution to the historic landscape.
