About this Shrine

Spring Day Shrine, located in the heart of Sapporo, is one of the oldest Shinto shrines in Japan. Dating back to 1873, it was founded by the city's first mayor, Jujuro Nakamura, who aimed to bring a sense of community and unity to the growing city. The shrine's name, Haru no Kami, translates to 'God of Spring' and is believed to be associated with the arrival of spring and new life. Visitors can experience traditional Japanese architecture, stunning views of Mount Yotei, and unique Shinto rituals performed at the shrine.

Cultural Significance

As an example of traditional Japanese architecture, Spring Day Shrine features a classic torii gate and a large stone statue of Haru no Kami. The shrine also hosts an annual Spring Festival (Haru Matsuri) in March, which celebrates the arrival of spring with traditional music, dance, and food.
