Taisya zukuri

大社造

This shrine style is commonly found in the Chūgoku region, particularly in Shimane and Tottori. It features a gabled roof (*kirizuma-zukuri*) with the entrance located on the gable end (*tsuma-iri*). The structure includes *mune-mochi-bashira* (ridge-supporting pillars) on both the front and rear sides, and a central pillar (*shin-no-mihashira*) within the building.
The shrine's sacred seat (*shinza*) is not centered but placed on the right or left side at the back of the building. The roof is adorned with *chigi* and *katsuogi*.
