Kitakumai suwasya

Located along the highway from Matsumoto to Shiojiri, near Ushibuse Shrine and Haniwara Shrine. The torii gate is a distinctive Ryobu-torii. Surrounded by cedar trees, the approach leads to a kagura hall.

Passing by the kagura hall, you enter the shrine grounds, which include a gateball court. The main worship hall stands at the front, with the large main hall inside a large covering behind it.

The wooden torii gate at the entrance is accompanied by a chozuya. Climbing the stone steps, you reach the city-designated cultural property worship hall, constructed by Tateka Tomitake and Ito Shozaemon.

The main hall is designated as a prefectural treasure and is relatively large. It features many carvings typical of the Okuma style, such as dragons and phoenixes. The complexity and intricate details of the woodwork are remarkable.

Built by Shibamiya Chozamen, who also worked on Mizukamifunayama Shrine in Chikuma City. The carvings feature motifs such as cycads and rabbits.
