A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
下諏訪町
Meet local religious traditions and sculpture at Suwa Taisha’s Shimosha Harumiya and the Manji Stone Buddha. Kamisha and Shimosha are separate sites, so select Shimosha Harumiya carefully on the map.
This guide covers places within Shimosuwa, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
01 · EXPLORE
Two different places: start with whichever interests you.
01A first-visit stop
諏訪大社 下社春宮
The photograph shows the heihaiden worship building in April 2015. Distinguish this site from Kamisha and Shimosha Akimiya while admiring its carvings. Follow worship routes, photography restrictions and event instructions; shrine-office hours are separate from grounds access.
Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
02A first-visit stop
万治の石仏
This town-designated cultural property places a Buddha head on a large natural stone. The photograph was taken in 2015; the Manji-era date associated with its name is not the photograph’s date. Keep out of surrounding fields and private areas, following marked access and local etiquette.
Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
02 · A LITTLE BITE
Shintsuru Honten’s shio yokan is a lightly salted sweet featured in Shimosuwa’s tourism guide. The shop is on the Shimosha Akimiya side, separate from Harumiya in this guide. Check opening days, stock and package labels, and plan the journey separately.
