Shioda Plain, Fluvial terrace in Ueda, Japan.

The Shioda Plain stretches across Ueda City in Nagano Prefecture, featuring flat valley bottoms and steep land strips formed by river processes over time.

The terrace contains numerous temples dating from the Kamakura Period between 1192 and 1333, when this area served as residence for the governor of Shinshu Province.

The Shioda Plain Temple Walk connects multiple religious structures through a 10-kilometer route that passes through traditional farmland at the base of Mount Tokko.

Visitors reach the area by taking the Bessho Line from Ueda Station, with the journey requiring approximately 33 minutes by train through the Nagano countryside.

The north-facing Kitamuki Kannon temple stands on the terrace, positioned specifically to maintain a direct view toward Zenkoji Temple in Nagano City.
