Hokkaido Shrine

As many as 700,000 worshippers gather here on New Year's Day.

Surrounded by a lush green forest of 60,000 tsubo, Hokkaido Jingu Shrine was founded in 1869, and was later renamed Sapporo Shrine and then Hokkaido Jingu Shrine in 1964. As the main shrine of Hokkaido, many people from inside and outside of Hokkaido visit here. Within the precincts of the shrine are Kaitaku Shrine, Kourei Shrine, Hotagi Shrine, and other shrines dedicated to those who have contributed to the development of Hokkaido, so why not pay a visit to these shrines and express your gratitude?
