About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Hokkaido, Kinzan Shrine is a sacred Shinto site dedicated to the deity of gold and wealth, Kinzan-gami. The shrine's architecture reflects traditional Japanese design, with a striking vermilion torii gate surrounded by lush greenery. Visitors can experience the tranquil atmosphere of the shrine during cherry blossom season or autumn foliage, when the surrounding trees display vibrant hues of orange and red.

Cultural Significance

In Shinto mythology, Kinzan-gami is said to be the guardian deity of gold and wealth. The shrine is also associated with the Ainu people's reverence for nature and the spirits that inhabit it. During the annual Kinzan Shrine Festival (October), visitors can participate in traditional dances and games, as well as try their luck at a ritual coin toss for good fortune.
