守田廼神社
174 Takada Nakamura, Nagano City
Morita-no Shrine is located near the center of Nagano City, along Showa-dori Avenue. The shrine grounds are relatively open and include playground equipment, suggesting it serves both as a place of worship and a community space. The shrine is linked to Zenkoji Temple and is designated as a cultural property by Nagano City.
Originally located north of Zenkoji, the shrine was moved to its current location during the Meiji period's separation of Shinto and Buddhism. The main buildings include the worship hall, the norito hall, and the inner hall housing the main sanctuary.
The main hall is a red-painted three-bay nagare-zukuri style. The structure is relatively simple, with minimal ornamentation, indicating it was built between the Muromachi and Edo periods.
