[2025 Karuizawa Attraction] Travel Guide for Suwa Shrine (Updated Jul)

Suwa Shrine is completely different from the lively atmosphere of Karuizawa Old Street. Once you enter the Torii, it seems like you have entered another world. The world suddenly becomes so peaceful and tranquil. The trees around the shrine are tall and green, quietly guarding the small shrine. When the wind blows, you can hear the sound of leaves fluttering in the wind. There are goshuin and amulets next to the shrine. It happened to be a holiday, so after choosing goshuin and amulets, just put the money into the box.

Karuizawa Town, Nagano Prefecture. If you walk a little off the old Karuizawa Street, you will find Suwa Shrine, which sits quietly. It is the guardian deity of Karuizawa Town, which was enshrined as a branch of the Shinshu Ichinomiya Suwa Taisha Shrine when the Karuizawa region was first developed. Many people visit throughout the year, such as the New Year's Festival on New Year's Day, the Setsubun Festival in February, and the Shichigosan Festival in November. The annual festival in August is crowded with fireworks every year. You can also receive a sacred tree amulet, which contains the vitality of living things emanating from seven sacred trees. I visited around 13:00 on a weekday, but it was not crowded. There is a gift shop next to the shrine grounds, where they offer goshuin and amulets. This time, I received a goshuin of autumn paper cuttings 💰 Price: 1000 yen. A regular goshuin 💰 Price: ¥500. The first offering was a system where you put it in a wooden box. No change is given, so I recommend that you prepare some money. There was also a fortune-telling slip. The design of the paper cutout goshuin is intricate, delicate and very cute. The quietly standing Suwa Shrine is very comfortable and I got a lot of power from it. And each and every sacred tree was very beautiful. It is close to Kyu-Karuizawa Street, so please do visit. - ...
