Okushairiguchi Parking Lot - Nagano

On 2021.5.17, the first Togakushi Shrine used the Okusha entrance parking lot to worship from the Okusha. On the way from the parking lot to the approach, skunk cabbage and flaccid anemones bloom, and when you cross the bridge, the long approach continues straight. Round trip about 2km one way ---. After worshiping, I used coins to pay in advance, but I couldn't enter them, so I used 1000 yen bills. Why was that? However, the parking lot has a large space, and it seems that many worshipers can use it without any trouble.

The parking lot closest to the back office. It takes about 30 minutes on foot from here to Okusha, and about 40 minutes on foot from here because Kagamiike cannot be reached by car in winter.

I went there when it was snowing, but it was beautiful anyway. It may be difficult for people with poor legs and children to walk a little, but I think that the scenery will be different when there is no snow, so I would like to go to spring, summer and autumn this time.

(ﾟ Д ﾟ) It's a luxurious parking lot with plenty of space. Used for visiting the back office If you stop before dawn, you can see the gradually whitening of Mt. Togakushi from inside the car. 2021-11-13

I used it to visit the shrine on New Year's Day. It is a well-maintained parking lot. It is convenient because there are restaurants and restaurants nearby.

In the early morning of Tuesday, October 26, I used this parking lot when visiting the Okusha. The car is a camper. Two years ago, my wife was run over by a car and broke both legs and knees, and with the help of rehabilitation, I managed to walk, so I got a camper so that I can take a break immediately when moving. A parking ticket was issued at the entrance, passed through the gate, and the car was parked at the innermost end of the parking lot so as not to interfere with other cars. I always try to park at the very end of the parking lot wherever I go. As I got out of the car and walked from the parking lot to the back office, an uncle rushed from the office building and was told to check the parking ticket. Since it is, return to the car again and head to the office building with the parking ticket. If there is anything, I would like you to speak to me when you enter honestly. The uncle kindly said, "Since the printing of B here on the parking ticket is recognized as a bus, I will print it so that it will be a minibus fee, because 2,200 yen will be 1,100 yen." Even though I haven't heard that "the ticket is issued by the sensor at the entrance, it will be recognized as a bus", it will be explained for a long time. When I got it printed as "micro" and started heading to the back office, my uncle said, "Don't drop the ticket," so I left the parking ticket in the car. It seems that there are various ways of thinking, but until now, campers have generally been charged as ordinary cars. My uncle says "I'll keep silent, I'll lower the micro fee ..." twice or three times. Other than that, I think it can't be helped, and follow as it is said. Even when my wife got a serious illness a few years ago, I prayed to Togakushi Shrine and thanked her three years ago. However, the impact of the accident was quite difficult on the way to the back office. After worshiping safely, I returned to the parking lot and settled the fee at the entrance settlement machine, and the payment was 1,200 yen, which was twice as much as a normal car. Then, the uncle will be called out again, "because I tried to make the price cheaper." "Yes, I understand. Thank you." And headed for the car, saying thank you. It may be really difficult to classify, but I thought it would be better not to enter this parking lot with a cabcon type camper. I have not taken a picture of the parking lot.

I used the parking lot when I visited by car at the end of 2021. The snow was removed for the time being, but the amount of snow is quite amazing. I was driving from the center of Nagano city, but I was scared to see the amount of snow on the road increasing as I proceeded. If you park your car for a long time, it will look like the image. Be careful when parking for a long time in winter.
