About this Shrine

Outakujina Shrine, dedicated to the sea kami Outakujin, is a historic Shinto shrine located in Koyurushi Village, Rumoi Subprefecture, Hokkaido. The shrine's architecture reflects traditional Japanese design, with a main hall and several smaller shrines. Founded during the Heian period (794-1185 CE), the shrine has been rebuilt several times due to natural disasters, most recently after the 2018 earthquake. Visitors can enjoy the scenic views of Mount Koyurushi and Lake Koyurushi while praying for good fortune and prosperity.

Cultural Significance

Outakujina Shrine is associated with the sea kami Outakujin, which is believed to protect fishermen and bring good luck. The shrine also hosts a biennial autumn festival to celebrate the harvest season.
