Architecture of Japan

Back alley of Kyoto

Ever seen this in one of the most famous Japanese movies in all times,
made by the same director of THE samurai movie of all times, too?

A distinctive architectural style of the Bessho shrine that used to belong to the territory
of one of the most tragic (and who has been seen as greatest) samurais in Japanese history.

Another shrine, this time in Fukuoka
