Kasuga-zukuri: Kazuyama Ochiai Shrine Suwa Shrine

This architectural style, known as *Kasuga-zukuri*, features a gable roof (*kirizuma*) with the entrance on the gable end, and a protruding portico at the front.
It is a style exemplified by Kasuga Taisha and has been widely adopted in similar structures.
Like the *nagare-zukuri* style, it is considered one of the common forms of shrine architecture seen across Japan.
