Suwa Taisha Shimosha Akimiya

Evocative and atmospheric - one of the oldest shrines in Japan

The shrine is set in a quiet grove of ancient trees and the atmosphere is wonderfully peaceful. The buildings are primarily unpainted wood with gold highlights, blending well with the natural setting...

"Aki-miya" (Autumn Temple) , A quiet temple

Original Text

Suwa Taisha is the sanctuary with two temples that are "Kamisha" and "Shimosya" and the levels of importance between the two temples are equal.

It is one of the four palaces.

Original Text

I visited Suwa Taisha Shimosha in autumn. It is one of the four palaces. It is possible to move to Harumiya on foot. The city is different to Kamisha, so you need to move by car. There were many people because it was bigger than Harumiya. I felt that the inside of the company was prestigious in a quiet atmosphere.

Country の Important Cultural Property

Original Text

Suwa Kuni Ichinomiya Suwa Taisha ４ in Shimosuwa Town, Suwa County, was one of the important cultural properties of the country. There is a parking lot next to the torii gate, parking fee and worship fee are free. The precincts are not so large, but the shrine has a solemn atmosphere. The pillars in the precincts have become a popular spot introduced by the media.

It's a solemn atmosphere.

Original Text

It is one of the four shrines that constitute Suwa Taisha Shrine. It is about １０ minutes walk from Shimosuwa Station, and about 15 minutes from Harumiya through Nakasendo. Although it is a large precinct, it was carefully maintained and had a solemn atmosphere. I think it's a good place to visit.
