[Nagano Prefecture] One of the four Suwa Taisha shrines, "Suwa Taisha Maemiya"

\\One of the four Suwa Taisha shrines//
It is the head shrine of all Suwa shrines in Japan and one of the oldest shrines in Japan. It is made up of four shrines: the Kamisha Shrine, Maemiya, and Honmiya, with the Shimosha Shrine, Harumiya, and Akimiya, to the north of Lake Suwa. The shrine is famous for the Onbashira Festival, which is held once every seven years.

It is located on high ground, so although it is relatively gentle, there is a continuous uphill slope. Maemiya is said to be the birthplace of Suwa faith. This is the only place where you can touch all four Onbashira. It was a spectacular Onbashira, wasn't it?
