Saikōji, également connu sous le nom de Karukayasan Saikōji, est un temple bouddhiste situé à Nagano. Il préserve la pratique traditionnelle de l'etoki, un récit illustré des enseignements bouddhistes, incluant l'histoire de la famille Karukaya...
Pourquoi y aller
Call ahead to book the etoki (illustrated storytelling) performance, as the temple accepts visitors by appointment only and can accommodate as few as one person.
If you speak Japanese or travel with a Japanese speaker, ask the temple staff about arranging an etoki performance at an off-site location.
Plan your visit on a weekday morning if possible, since the temple operates by appointment and weekday slots are less likely to be booked by tour groups.

Pourquoi y aller
Visit between November and April is not possible due to seasonal closure, so plan your trip for May through October when the shrine is open.
Pay the 500 yen admission fee (200 yen for children) to access Myojin Pond, which sits directly beside the shrine and is considered sacred.
Bring sturdy hiking boots or trail shoes rather than casual sneakers, as the 3.5km walk from Kappa Bridge along the Azusa River involves uneven terrain and can be muddy depending on recent weather.

Pourquoi y aller
Mount Togakushi ranks among Japan's 200 most famous mountains and is part of the Five Mountains of Northern Shinshu, standing 1,904 meters high within Myōkō-Togakushi Renzan National Park.
Chusha sits at the center of five shrines scattered across Mount Togakushi, connected by paths lined with towering Japanese cedar trees. The mountain's name means 'hiding door,' from the myth where a deity threw Amaterasu's cave door here.
The hike from Chusha to the summit shrine involves technical climbing with chains, ladders, and a section called 'Ant Tower/Sword Blade' where the ridge narrows to a knife edge at 1,842 meters elevation.

Fukashijinja is a large Shinto shrine in Matsumoto, Nagano, dedicated to Suwamyojin (deity of wind, water, and agriculture) and SugawaranoMichizane (deity of learning). Known as the "Tenjinsama of Fukashi," it hosts the famous Tenjin Matsuri festival each...
Pourquoi y aller
Take the 10-15 minute walk east from Matsumoto Station along Agata-no-mori street, then turn south at the Miyamura-machi traffic signal just before the Performing Arts Centre.
Plan your visit for July to experience the Tenjin Matsuri, when 16 elaborately decorated floats from local neighborhoods are displayed at the shrine and paraded through the streets.
Arrive early on weekdays or outside festival season to enjoy the shrine's quiet, spiritual atmosphere without tourist crowds. Several visitors noted the shrine feels peaceful and contemplative when you're not competing with tour groups, making it easier to appreciate the ornate painted carvings and statues.

Yohashira Jinja
4.0(1)
Location: Matsumoto, Nagano
Goshuin: Goshuin
Un sanctuaire shinto central de Matsumoto, Yōhashira Jinja se trouve à côté de la rue Nawate près du château de Matsumoto. Il est réputé pour ses bénédictions de bonne fortune, d'union amoureuse et d'harmonie familiale, et accueille un grand festival...
Pourquoi y aller
Built in just nine days before the Emperor's 1879 visit, the shrine burned down nine years later in a fire that devastated central Matsumoto. The current buildings weren't completed until 1924.
Unlike most Shinto shrines dedicated to a single deity, Yohashira enshrines four gods at once, including the sun goddess Amaterasu and three creation deities, earning it the nickname 'Wish-Granting Shrine.'
The annual October festival features elaborately decorated wooden floats (butai) designated as Important Tangible Folk Cultural Properties, parading through streets while musicians perform aboard the moving platforms.

Suwa Taisha Shimosha Harumiya
Location: Suwa, Nagano
Goshuin: 1 Goshuin
Un sanctuaire shinto historique situé à Shimosuwa, Nagano, et l'un des quatre sanctuaires principaux du complexe Suwa Taisha. Niché près de la rivière Togawa, il est réputé pour son enceinte boisée paisible, ses rituels saisonniers et son lien avec le...
Pourquoi y aller
The shrine sits beside the Togawa River and features a sacred Japanese cedar tree, blending so gradually into residential Shimosuwa streets that visitors say it 'emerges from ordinary town' rather than announcing itself.
Almost no historical documents from the Lower Shrine (which includes Harumiya) survived through the centuries. Nearly all records about Suwa Taisha come from the Upper Shrine across the lake.
Harumiya means 'Spring Shrine' because the deity traditionally resides here from February to July, then moves to nearby Akimiya (Autumn Shrine) for the rest of the year in a seasonal ritual unique to Suwa Taisha.
