Aoi no Mori National Treasure Museum

(Blue Forest National Exhibition)

The building is an authentic wooden structure that uses Hitoyoshi's abundant wood resources throughout, including a wooden louvered roof that matches the steeply sloping thatched roof of the main shrine, and was designed as an architecture that symbolizes the "culture of conservatism and progress" of Sagara over 700 years. The galleries on the first and second floors display a portable shrine that has been passed down for over 400 years, as well as sacred swords and dedicated swords that were damaged in the heavy rains of July 2020.
