Iwashimizu Hachimangu 石清水八幡宮 The highest Hachiman shrine in Japan, located in southern Kyoto pref. in the city of Iwata.  The main buildings of the shrine have lots of details in their architecture. Unfortunately, photography is only allowed from outside.  Seen here is a moon on the left, a sun on the right and two dancing people in between. This symbolises the hope for Japan being able to enjoy peace at all times. Also, everywhere in this building, one can find birds engraved into the structures, since birds (especially pigeons) are often used as symbols in Hachiman shrines throughout Japan.
