Kumanokotai Shrine

閒逛完舊輕井澤銀井通後，看見指示牌上寫著熊野皇大神社，本著好奇心一路往前行，沒想到要先經過約3公里碓冰峠遊覽步道，幸好天色晴朗，沿途景色雖未有紅葉季節般壯麗，但也還是頗賞心悅目，經過大約50分鐘的步程後，終於到達熊野皇大神社，也求得了吉及大吉兩籤

The mountain shrine in Karuizawa area - Kumano Emperor Shrine is located on the dome, 1200 meters above sea level. The shrine is a rare shrine that spans two counties and a century-old red leaf forest, which is worth visiting. [Best route] Our route is to walk or take a car at the Ginza Street Visitor Center, take the 200-year-old Edo Ancient Road - Zhongshan Road, and walk to the Kumano Emperor Shrine on the top of the mountain. Due to the remote location, there are not many pedestrians and the environment is quiet. The forest coverage here is actually 90 ％, and it feels like the air is full of vitality and vitality. There is a towering tree with a tree more than 800 years old in the [Millennial Shenshu] Shrine. It is said that you can live for one more year by turning around the old tree. The tree also has a magical thing, there is a heart pattern on the trunk, it seems to be a symbol of its spirituality, many people specially come to visit this tree. [Note] The main god in the shrine is the gossip bird, that is, the crow we are familiar with. I heard that it is very spiritual to pray for good luck here. But because the shrine spans two counties, it is shared by Gunma County and Nagano County, and the two sides also serve different shrines. Please be careful not to snubb the gods of either side when visiting, so as to reflect our piety. - shrine address: 1 Usuitoge, Togemachi, Karuizawa-machi, Kitasaku-gun, Nagano Prefecture,389-0101, Japan-Tel: +81-26-7425749
