About this Shrine

Located in the picturesque town of Tomakomai, Hokkaido's northernmost city, Tomakomi Shrine, also known as Toyogiri Shrine or Toyogatari Shrine, is a revered Shinto site dedicated to the kami (spirits) of the land and its people. The shrine is situated near the intersection of the old roads connecting the towns of Tomakomi and Furukawa, reflecting its historical significance as a major route for traders and travelers. As one of the oldest shrines in Hokkaido, it has played an essential role in the cultural and spiritual lives of the local community, embodying the spirit of resilience and adaptation that defines the region's people.

Cultural Significance

The shrine is closely associated with the local Ainu people and their traditional customs. During the New Year (Oshogatsu) festival, visitors can participate in a unique ritual where they write down their wishes on wooden tokens and hang them from the shrine's trees, believed to bring good luck and prosperity.
