About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Sapporo, the largest city on the northern island of Hokkaido, 朱珠神社 (Tsuruga Shrine) is a revered Shinto shrine that honors the kami (spirits) of the Tsuruga River and its surroundings. As one of the oldest shrines in Hokkaido, dating back to the early 17th century, it showcases traditional architectural styles characteristic of the region's Heian-era influences.

Cultural Significance

Tsuruga Shrine is famous for its unique festival, the Tsuruga-no-Matsuri, held annually in late July. During this celebration, participants dress up as mythical creatures and dance through the streets while carrying ornate lanterns and performing rituals to ensure good harvests.
