About this Shrine

Located in the picturesque town of Ōtaru, Hokkaido's second-largest city, East Aurora Shrine has been a beloved Shinto site since its establishment in 1869. Dedicated to the kami of good fortune and prosperity, the shrine is nestled among lush greenery and features an elegant wooden torii gate that stands out amidst the tranquil surroundings. Visitors can experience the unique charm of this shrine during the spring cherry blossom festival, held annually from late April to early May.

Cultural Significance

In Japanese mythology, East Aurora Shrine is believed to be an emanation of the Izumo Taisha, one of Japan's most revered Shinto shrines. Locals often visit the shrine during the spring equinox festival (Higan) to pray for good health and happiness.
