About this Shrine

Located in Sapporo, northern Japan, Tsukagani Okanotsu Shrine is a Shinto temple dedicated to the deity of wine, sake, and good fortune. The shrine's name roughly translates to 'Wine Barrel God in front of the Temple'. It is situated along the Sapporo River and has been an important center for sake brewing in the region. The shrine's architecture reflects the Edo period, with a simple yet elegant design. Visitors can experience traditional Shinto rituals and ceremonies, as well as participate in sake-tasting events during special festivals.

Cultural Significance

Tsukagani Okanotsu Shrine is closely tied to the mythological figure of the rice goddess, Kushinada-hime, who was said to have introduced sake brewing to Japan. The shrine also celebrates the annual Sapporo Beer Festival in November, which features local beers and food.
