    A shrine in the Takabatake Koshiogiwa district. The shrine was to have been built in 1570 by master craftsmen Jinbee from Hida City for the seventh head of the Togashi Saemon family. It was the first building in the prefecture to be designated an Important Cultural Property of Japan (formerly called National Treasures). The main shrine has a gabled, hipped roof design that blends together characteristics of Japanese, Chinese, and Indian architecture. The building is fully adorned with graceful and delicate carvings.

Akita Areas

around-area-map

Famed for its sake and samurai, Akita prefecture offers quintessential Japanese culture in a non-touristy setting. Alongside the celebrated rice paddies and historical sites of the region lies dramatic natural scenery in the form of the rugged coastline of the Oga Peninsula and the Dakigaeri Gorge, best visited in autumn, when the leaves begin to change color.
