Seismic damage of a temple of traditional wooden building due to the 2007 Noto Hanto Earthquake was investigated. Some additional survey on surface soil layers and buildings were also done. As a result, soft reclaimed soil under Hatto, one of the largest temple building in the site, was shown to be one of the dominant reason for the building damage. The Hatto building and its surrounding ground were investigated in detail by microtremor and seismic response observations. Dynamic characteristics of the buildings and ground were shown.
