About this Shrine

Izakaya-jitsuo no Kami Shrine, located in the village of Kutsune on the main island of Hokkaido, is a lesser-known Shinto shrine that offers breathtaking views of Mt. Chikazemae and Lake Mashu. Dedicated to Izakaya-jitsuo no kami, the primary enshrined deity is believed to be a rice spirit or a manifestation of the kami of agriculture. The shrine's architecture reflects its rural setting, with traditional Hokkaido-style buildings that blend seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. While not as widely visited as some other Shinto shrines in Japan, the tranquil atmosphere and stunning natural scenery make it an ideal destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat from city life.
