One of the more understated World Heritage Sites in Kyoto, but a nice walk from Byōdōin (start your day there) and beautiful landscape set on the foot of a mountain

【国宝】登録名称は「宇治上神社本殿」、「宇治上神社拝殿」…宇治川の東岸の朝日山の山裾に鎮座する宇治上神社、その本殿は、神社建築では日本最古です。 拝殿は、鎌倉時代前期に伐採された桧が使用されており、鎌倉時代の優れた建物遺構。 本殿は平安時代後期に伐採された木材が使われて、一間社流造りの三殿からなる。左右の社殿が大きく中央の社殿が小さい。

拝殿は平成26年12月まで工事中。1215年鎌倉年代創建説が有力。現存する最古の拝殿とされている。神社建築の位置づけとしては神のための本殿、人が使う拝殿となる。
