About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Sapporo, Hokkaido's largest city, is the Meiji Shrine, a Shinto shrine dedicated to Emperor Meiji and his wife, Empress Shoken. Dedicated in 1926, the shrine was built as a symbol of Japan's transition from the Imperial era to a constitutional monarchy.

Cultural Significance

The Meiji Shrine is associated with the enshrined kami, Oyasato no Okami, a benevolent spirit believed to protect visitors and promote good fortune. The shrine's architecture reflects traditional Japanese styles, including a vermilion torii gate and a holly leaf-shaped roof, typical of Shinto shrines in Hokkaido.
