About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Sapporo, Hokkaido's largest city, Tsukisato Shrine is a tranquil oasis amidst urban bustle. Its origins date back to the Meiji period (1868-1912), during which it was built as a memorial for the samurai from the local Tsurui clan. The shrine is dedicated to the kami of fertility and prosperity, Fukagawa Hachiman-gami, and is famous for its stunning cherry blossom trees.

Cultural Significance

Tsukisato Shrine is deeply connected to the mythology surrounding the Hachiman Shrine in Kyoto, known for its association with samurai and the god of war. The shrine's architecture reflects this connection, featuring a traditional Japanese design with a striking red torii gate.
