The Hall of a Shrine to Susanoo

A ridge tag is designated with it (Agency for Cultural Affairs).
Why It Is an Important Cultural Property
The Agency notes that, as befits a work of 1610, its frog-leg struts and carved beam ends are richly decorated and show the character of the Momoyama period well, and calls it one of the few such survivals in the area.
