The is a traditional Japanese architectural style used at Hachiman shrines in which two parallel structures with gabled roofs are interconnected on the non-gabled side, forming one building which, when seen from the side, gives the impression of two.〔JAANUS, (Hachiman-zukuri ) accessed on December 1, 2009〕 The front structure is called , the rear one , and together they form the ''honden''.〔(History and Typology of Shrine Architecture ), Encyclopedia of Shinto accessed on November 2009〕〔Kōjien Japanese dictionary〕 The ''honden'' itself is completely surrounded by a cloister-like covered corridor called (see photo). Access is made possible by a gate called . It has a structure, that is, the building has its main entrance on the side which runs parallel to the roof's ridge (non gabled-side). There are entrances also at the center of the gabled sides (see image). In general, the rear structure is 3x2 ''ken'',〔The ''ken'' is the distance between one supporting pillar and another, a quantity which can vary from shrine to shrine and even within the same building.〕 while the front one is 3x1.〔 The space between the two structures is one ''ken'' wide and forms a room called .〔 The actual width and height of this room vary with the shrine. Extant examples are Usa Shrine and Iwashimizu Hachiman-gū. This style, of which only five Edo period examples survive, may be of Buddhist origin, since some Buddhist buildings show the same division. For example, Tōdai-ji's ''hokke-dō''〔Literally "Lotus Sūtra Hall". A hall whose layout allows walking around a statue for meditation.〕 is divided in two sections laid out front and back. Structural details also show a strong relationship with the Heian period style called ''shinden-zukuri'' used in aristocratic residences.〔 Another possible origin of this style may have been early palaces, known to have had parallel ridges on the roof.〔 ==An example of ''hachiman-zukuri'' style== in Matsuyama, Ehime, is a rare example of the ''hachiman-zukuri'' style.
