皇足穂命神社
1170-I Miyamae, Nakajo, Nagano City
Nakajo Village, now part of Nagano City.
The Kousoku Road built for the Olympics leads directly to Kousokuho Shrine.
A tributary of the Sai River flows through Nakajo Village, with the village centered around a single road.
Kousokuho Shrine, located here, has a main shrine designated as a village cultural property and enshrines Suwa Shrine.
The shrine, surrounded by cedar groves, has playground equipment such as swings.
The entrance to the south-facing shrine grounds has a metal torii.
The torii is painted a skin color, with a vividly painted blue frame.
It is rare in the prefecture to see a combined shrine, with a concrete approach leading to a large worship hall and a rear covering.
Due to being locked, the interior cannot be viewed by the general public.
Despite the width of the road and the location, there is a lot of traffic, giving the shrine a somewhat busy impression rather than a quiet, calm atmosphere.
