About this Shrine

Located in the town of Hoshino, Hokkaido, Ebisu Shrine is a Shinto temple dedicated to the god of prosperity, good fortune, and music. Its primary deity, Ebisu, is often depicted as a benevolent figure with a large nose and a love for fish. The shrine's architecture reflects traditional Japanese design, with a vermilion torii gate and a wooden main hall.

Cultural Significance

As one of the most famous Ebisu Shrines in Japan, this site is said to be connected to the legendary musician Minamoto no Mitsutsuna, who was known for his exceptional skills on the shamisen. Locals believe that Ebisu's love for music still resonates through the shrine.
