The Gion-zukuri style can be seen only at Yasaka-jinja Shrine in Gion, Kyoto, and it is considered to be the style of shrine architecture that most resembles that of Buddhist temple architecture due to the single roof that covers the separate honden (main sanctury) and rei-do hall (current haiden (worship hall)).
京都祇園の八坂神社だけに見られる祇園造は、別棟であった本殿と礼堂（現在の拝殿）を一つの屋根で覆ったもので、最も仏寺建築に近い神社建築様式とされる。
