About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Sapporo, Hokkaido Jingu Tongu is one of Japan's oldest and most revered Shinto shrines. Established in 1869 by Emperor Meiji, it was originally built as a substitute for the original Tsukanosato Shrine on the island of Hokkaido. The shrine is dedicated to the worship of Amaterasu Omikami, the Shinto sun goddess, as well as Otohime, the sea god. Visitors can explore the shrine's beautiful gardens and tranquil atmosphere, which offer a serene escape from the bustling city.

Cultural Significance

As one of Japan's oldest shrines, Hokkaido Jingu Tongu holds great cultural significance. The shrine is also closely tied to the mythology of the Ainu people, who originally inhabited the island of Hokkaido. Otohime, the sea god enshrined at the shrine, is particularly notable in Ainu mythology.
