Area Map
Senjokaku, a designated National Important Cultural Property, was built in 1587 by a power military commander Toyotomi Hideyoshi as a war memorial. The formal name of the facility is Toyokuni Shrine, but it is called Senjokaku, literally a building of 1,000 tatami mats, because the size of the hall was equivalent to 857 tatami mats. Toyotomi Hideyoshi passed away before the completion, and the construction was cancelled unfinished. Since then, the incomplete building has been maintained as it was to this day. It is the biggest building within the precincts of Itsukushima Shrine, and with its nice natural ventilation - because it was not completed with any fences or whatsoever that surrounds it - it used to be a gathering place for people during Edo Period. In the hall, the scale rulers that were used when the great tori archway was rebuilt.
