About this Shrine

御傘山神社, located in the beautiful Hokkaido prefecture, is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the enshrined deity of Mount Asahi. According to legend, the shrine was built during the Edo period by the Tokugawa shogunate as a sacred site for the imperial family's hunting excursions. The shrine is renowned for its unique architecture and beautiful surroundings, with Mt. Asahi's summit visible from its grounds.

Cultural Significance

御傘山神社 has strong connections to the Japanese myth of Yuki-onna, or 'Snow Maiden', who was said to inhabit the nearby mountains. In the spring, visitors can participate in the shrine's annual cherry blossom viewing event, which honors the deity and celebrates the beauty of nature.
