🏯 Introduction

Shioda-daira, Ueda, Shinshu

The Shinano-Kokubunji Temple, Ikushima-Tarushima Shrine, and Bessho Hot Springs in Ueda City are aligned so that they are connected by a line of light on the summer and winter solstices. This arrangement of sites is also known as a ley line.

Shiodaira, where the ley lines are located, was known as the granary of the Ueda clan during the Edo period, and was also called "Shioda Sanmangoku. As a result, the area is deeply rooted in reverence for nature and the gods as a place of abundant harvest, and rain-making festivals have traditionally been held using reservoirs. These festivals are an important part of the agricultural culture of coexistence with nature and are loved by many people.

In addition, this area, where beautiful nature and historical buildings coexist, is called an ideal rural landscape. Please experience its charm.
