Sano Shrine

In 1908, Sano Shrine was established by merging Iizuna Shrine with Upper and Lower Suwa Shrines, moving the main hall from the old Lower Suwa Shrine.
Located in a steep residential area, the shrine has two different styles of torii gates: the first torii is Munetada torii, and the second, painted red, is Myojin torii, typical for Suwa shrines.

The main hall, enclosed within a reinforced concrete structure, is typically not visible to the public.

The main hall inside the enclosure is a one-bay nagare-zukuri style with a cypress bark roof, facing west.
The hall is vividly decorated with vermilion, red, and black paint, and features intricate metal fittings and painted motifs such as plum blossoms and pine-bamboo-plum scenes.

The shrine, dating back to the late 1500s, showcases ornate decorations typical of the Momoyama period. The black-painted pillars indicate advanced lacquer techniques at the time, suggesting an earlier tradition of lacquered architecture in Nagano Prefecture.
