Sandai shrine

Japan, 525-0005 309 Shinacho, Kusatsu City, Shiga Prefecture

Sandai shrine located about 5km from Kusatsu Station. The magnificent old wisteria is famous for being called ``sand-rubbed wisteria'' because its ears grow so long that they rub against the ground. It blooms from late April to early May every year and is crowded with visitors. Beside the main shrine is a hexagonal pillar stone lantern from the Kamakura period, which is a nationally designated important cultural property and is a must-see.
