Suwataisya Shimosya Harumiya

193 Shimosuwa Town, Suwa District

The buildings of Suwa Taisha Shimosha are divided into Akimiya and Harumiya, about 1 kilometer apart.
Located with Wada Pass in the background, it is customary to transfer the spirits between Akimiya and Harumiya during spring and autumn festivals.
Compared to Akimiya, which is on the path from Wada Pass, Harumiya is quieter with fewer visitors.

Suwa Taisha Shimosha Harumiya Torii

Suwa Taisha Shimosha Harumiya Kaguraden

The first building seen after passing through the torii gate is the Kaguraden.
Compared to Akimiya, Harumiya's Kaguraden is smaller, with a similarly styled but much smaller shimenawa under the eaves.
Behind the Kaguraden, the heiden is almost identical in structure to Akimiya's, built by Shibamiya Chozaemon, featuring a plain wooden construction.

The absence of carvings on the bracket parts, which are typically used in the Tachikawa school, is notable in Shibamiya Chozaemon's work.
The carvings, unlike the calm expressions by Tsumashige at Akimiya, focus on dynamic compositions with multiple guardian lions and mythical creatures.

In front of the shrine grounds, there remains a roofed drum bridge on the approach road, built in the mid-Edo period and designated as a cultural property.
