古都京都・宇治市の世界文化遺産・宇治上神社 / Ujigami Jinja - Kyoto World Cultural Heritage located in City of Uji

この神社を参るとき、金閣寺みたい建物と素敵なビューが見られませんでした。しかし、「宇治上神社」は日本で現存最古の神社建築です。注意:日本で最古の神社は奈良県の「大神神社」です。
When I was visiting this temple in the city of Uji,Kyoto, I was pretty disappointed that the temple compound neither have interesting architectures like Golden Pavilion nor beautiful scenery. However, the buildings inside 'Ujigami Jinja' was currently the oldest constructed temple in Japan. Despite of the fact that 'Ujigami Jinja' was the oldest constructed temple in Japan, it wasn't the oldest temple in Japan. The oldest temple in Japan would be 'Oomiwa Jinja' that was located in the prefecture of 'Nara'.

残念だ。インタネットによると「宇治上神社」の建築は鎌倉時代前期に建ていました。しかし、僕は建物の知識がありませんでした。だから、いろいろな神社の違いところは全然知らなかった。XD
According to the Internet, 'Ujigami Jinja' was built during the 'Kamakura' period of Japan. However, as I have limited knowledge of architectural design, therefore I'm pretty sorry to say that I can't tell the differences between the various kind of temples that was built during different periods of Japan.
