1403 Omotegi, Motohara, Sanada Town, Ueda City
Omotegi Shrine, situated in the fields offering a panoramic view of Ueda City from the former Sanada Town.
The shrine grounds are open, with a few trees lined up and a single stone torii gate.
Originally, the shrine was dedicated as the tutelary deity of this entire area and was called Suwa-no-Miya.
The shrine buildings consist of a haiden with a hirairi gabled roof and a tsuma iri portico, and an enclosure for the honden.
The haiden is a simple building without decorative carvings.
The gabled shrine with a tiled roof is a common style seen throughout the Sanada area, including the Debayao Shrine and Ishifune Shrine.
The honden, housed within an enclosure, is a small ichinomiya-style nagare-zukuri, with a width of about 96 cm.
Originally, the entire structure was painted in red and black, but now only traces remain near the front doors.
The shrine features few carvings, with narrow side screens installed. Other characteristics include simple designs on the nageshi (tie beams) and ebi nageshi (curved tie beams).
