Japan’s well-known shrine, visited by worshippers throughout the year.
Hokkaido Shrine, one of the most prominent shrines in Hokkaido, is located in Chuo District, Sapporo City. Its history is long, which began in 1869, when the Emperor Meiji directed to enshrine “Kaitaku Sanshin (Developing Three Deities)” here as a place of faith for pioneers.
Many visit here throughout the year, especially around the new year’s worship by over 700,000 people. Famous for the cherry and plum blossoms, during the blooming season, nearly 1,100 cherry trees and 120 plum trees entertain visitors. Surrounded by rich nature, you may get to see Ezo squirrels or Ezo red fox.
At Hokkaido Shrine, Omikuji (paper fortune) has quite a variety from the traditional to Love Mikuji and Children’s Mikuji, translated into English or Chinese. Try picking one when you are there.

This shrine is dedicated to the three deities of Hokkaido’s development, making it really representative of the region’s history. It’s not as crowded as the big shrines in Tokyo, so it’s a comfortable place to visit.
Hokkaido Shrine is famous for its rich historical atmosphere and sacred feeling. It's a place that really purifies your soul.
There are tons of cherry trees planted near the shrine, and when they're in full bloom, the scenery is just breathtaking. It's also a major center of faith for locals in Hokkaido.
You can spend a relaxing afternoon strolling around the shrine, Maruyama Zoo, and Maruyama Park nearby.
There are so many types of omamori, and each one is beautifully crafted. I definitely recommend picking some up as souvenirs.
