Main Shrine

The main shrine of Iwashimizu Hachimangu is Japan’s largest and oldest example of the hachiman-zukuri style of shrine architecture. It dates back to a reconstruction completed in 1634 under the third Tokugawa shogun, Tokugawa Iemitsu (1604–1651). Many of the structures are designated National Treasures.

Visitors pray at the two-storied gate that comprises the front of the main shrine. The gate extends into covered corridors that enclose the buildings within. Past the gate is the prayer hall where priests perform rituals. The prayer hall is in turn connected to the shrine’s main sanctuary. The buildings are decorated with over 150 colorful woodcarvings of plants, animals, and mythical creatures.

The main sanctuary is characteristic of the hachiman-zukuri style. It looks like two separate buildings from the side, but is comprised of a single structure with two roofs. The interior is divided into an outer hall and an inner hall, both containing three rooms side by side, one for each enshrined deity. Between the roofs is a golden rain gutter donated by the prominent warlord Oda Nobunaga (1534–1582).

本社

石清水八幡宮本社（神社內的主要建築群）是日本最大、最古老的「八幡造」神社的建築典範，其歷史可以追溯到1634年，德川幕府第三代將軍德川家光（1604-1651）時代完成的那次重建。本社內許多建築都被指定為國寶。

樓門是本社前的兩層建築，參拜者在此參拜祈福，樓門連通環繞主體建築的簷廊。進門便是拜殿，神官們在此舉行宗教儀式，拜殿又與神社本殿（正殿）相連。社內各處總計飾有不下150處色彩絢麗的木刻，題材涵蓋動物、植物及神話生物。

本殿更是典型的八幡造風格，側面看去仿佛兩座獨立建築，其實只是在同一座建築上加蓋了兩個屋頂。殿內又分內、外兩殿，各有三個房間，每間供奉一尊神明，兩個屋頂之間架有一個金色雨水槽，為著名武將織田信長（1534-1582）捐贈。
