When I visited Kusatsu Onsen, I happened to come across this shrine called Shirane Shrine (白根神社). It’s not a large shrine, but the grounds are quite spacious. This is the eastern gate of the shrine, located close to Yubatake.
I heard that beautiful rhododendrons bloom within the shrine grounds. Some were in bloom, and they looked lovely, but it was still far from peak season. The enshrined deity of the shrine is Yamato Takeru no Mikoto (日本武尊).
