    Quiet shrine

    Original Text

    It is a shrine in Oiwake, Karuizawa. If you go further back to Oiwake Park, you will find this shrine next to the Oiwake-juku Museum. The building of the main shrine was more interesting than a shrine, with a simple structure like an old folk house.

    A lonely shrine rather than quiet

    Original Text

    It is a shrine that seems to have its origin next to the Oibuk Museum. It was a quiet space with no one else at the time of my visit. It may be more correct to be lonely than to be solemn. The roof of the shrine is tin, and for some reason the sliding door has a metallic luster like aluminum foil. I have the impression that I don't have much hands.

    It's a historic shrine, but ...

    Original Text

    It is a historic shrine dating back to the Muromachi period, but it is a pity that it is not well maintained. Bon Odori (Oiwaku Matsuri) is held in the square on the south side every year until 8/13〜 16, but there are several stores and it is a little lonely. A vast free parking lot is available on the other side of the street of Oibu juku.
