About this Shrine

Located in the heart of Sapporo, Hokkaido's largest city,富武士神社 is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the deity Tsukuyomi, known as 'The Moon God' or 'Tsukiyomi-no-Kami'. As one of Japan's oldest shrines, it has been an important spiritual center for locals and travelers alike for centuries. The shrine's architecture reflects its historical significance, featuring traditional Japanese-style buildings with a unique blend of wooden and stone structures.

Cultural Significance

Tsukuyomi-no-Kami is also associated with fertility and agriculture, which was particularly important for Hokkaido's early inhabitants who relied heavily on farming. Locals often pray at the shrine during the 'Moon Viewing Festival' ( Tsukimi-matsuri) in September to ensure bountiful harvests.
