About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Sapporo, the capital city of Hokkaido, is the Happiness Shrine, dedicated to the Shinto deity known as Okuninushi-no-kami. The shrine's name reflects its association with good fortune and prosperity. Built during the Heian period (794-1185 CE), it has undergone renovations over the centuries, incorporating elements from the Kamakura and Edo periods. Today, visitors can experience the tranquil atmosphere of this sacred site, surrounded by lush greenery and beautifully maintained gardens.

The shrine's spring festival, known as Hanami no Seki, celebrates the arrival of spring with traditional dances and food offerings.
