Stroll precincts with a three-storied pagoda
About this spot
An ancient shrine in central Omachi City, unusual for the three-storied pagoda that remains in its precincts, a trace of the old blending of Shinto and Buddhism. It has a history of drawing faith from climbers of the Northern Alps, and the quiet precincts have just the right atmosphere for a stroll. Known as a stage for the summer festival, it is treasured as a shrine rooted in the community. It is a recommended spot for praying for a safe trip before heading off for river play.

Name: わっぱらんど(上原用水・ぬるめ)
Date & time: 常時開放・日没まで(定休日なし・入場無料)
Venue: 大町市平・上原用水(北アルプス雪解け水の農業用水路)
大町市平を流れる上原用水を利用した川遊びスポットで、地元では「ぬるめ」の愛称で親しまれています。北アルプスの雪解け水が流れ込む用水路は真夏でも冷たく澄んでおり、暑い日の水遊びにぴったりです。常時開放されており入場は無料、定休日もないため思い立ったときに訪れやすいのも魅力です。浅い流れが続く区間が多く、小さな子どもでも安心して水に触れられます。
Tips
水は雪解け水のため気温より冷たく感じられるので、羽織るものがあると安心です。底は石や苔で滑りやすいのでウォーターシューズがあると安全です。日差しのある時間帯を選んで遊ぶと快適です。
Tips
It is within walking distance of Omachi Station and easy to reach. Most paths in the precincts are paved and easy to walk. In summer, resting in the shade of the trees is recommended.
Best time to visit
