Small roadside shrine featuring the paired Dosojin (husband-and-wife guardian) stone figures — intimate cultural portraiture set against rural Nagano backdrops. Best visited at golden hour or after light snowfall for moodier contrast. Easily reached by car from Ueda; parking is limited to roadside bays. No entry fee; observe quiet, remove shoes if entering any sheltered area. Weekday mornings have few visitors.
