About this Shrine

Located in the scenic town of Niseko, Hokkaido's Green Shrine is a serene oasis that honors the Shinto kami of nature and fertility. This historic shrine was originally built in 1868, during the Meiji period, on the site of an ancient forest sacred to the local Ainu people. The shrine's tranquil atmosphere and stunning natural surroundings make it a popular destination for hikers, skiers, and those seeking spiritual solace.
