へそ地蔵 — photo spot in 2110-21 Shibukawa, Gunma 377-0008, Japan
へそ地蔵
Small roadside Jizō shrine known locally as “Heso Jizō” — intimate stone statues, votive offerings and rural details make for evocative cultural portraits. Best light is early morning or late afternoon for warm side-light; winter delivers clear mountain backdrops. Easily accessible by car from central Shibukawa with limited roadside parking; no entry fee. Be respectful: quiet, short visits; nearby streets can be narrow.
