It is not a single shrine, but is divided into the Kamisha (Upper Shrine) and the Shimosha (Lower Shrine). The Kamisha is further divided into "Hongu (Main Shrine) and Maemiya (Front Shrine)," and the Shimosha is divided into "Akimiya (Autumn Shrine) and Harumiya (Spring Shrine," consisting of two shrines and four palaces. It is the "Ichinomiya (First Shrine) of Shinano Province" and the head temple of over 10,000 Suwa Shrines nationwide. It is considered one of the oldest shrines in Japan. Since ancient times, it has been revered as a guardian deity of rain, wind, and water, a god who prays for a bountiful harvest and governs the source of life, and as a god of martial valor. It has been worshipped by warriors such as Sakanoue no Tamuramaro, the foremost military god of the eastern provinces, as well as Minamoto no Yoritomo, Takeda Shingen, and Tokugawa Ieyasu. ※ Suwa Taisha Shrine, famous for the Onbashira Festival, is considered to have been visited by completing the "Shisha Meguri (Four Shrine Pilgrimage)," which involves visiting all four shrines.
