Suwa Daimyōjin is a deity associated with the Upper Shrine of Suwa Taisha. The Upper Shrine's Ōhōri was regarded upon assuming office as a go-shintai, the physical embodiment of Suwa Daimyōjin, and was thus worshiped as a living god (arahitogami). Suwa Daimyōjin is said to have established his presence in Suwa by subjugating the local deity Moriya.
