About this Shrine

Kiyosumi River Inari Shrine is a Shinto shrine located in Sapporo, Hokkaido, and is dedicated to Inari Okami, the god of rice and fertility. The shrine's architecture reflects its historical period, with a main hall constructed during the Kamakura era, which dates back to 1273. Visitors can walk through the forested grounds, which are lined with thousands of vermilion torii gates, creating an impressive tunnel-like effect.

Cultural Significance

Kiyosumi River Inari Shrine is notable for its association with the legend of Kiyosumi River, which was said to have been created by the god Inari's tears. During cherry blossom season, visitors can participate in the traditional 'maiko' dance, performed by shrine maidens dressed in white.
