The Temple of Amaterasu
KOMACHI'S TRAVEL GUIDE:
This graceful structure dates from the rule of the fifth Governor, and is notable for the white limestone used in its construction. It is said that when the first priestess of the temple came to Ryoko Owari, she went out into the wilderness and told her servants to dig under a certain hillside. There, they struck a vein ofwhite limestone, which they used to construct the temple. They ran out of the rare white stone the day the temple was completed, and no more has been found in the area since that time.
