About this Shrine

Located in the heart of 札幌市, 琶音神社 is one of the oldest Shinto shrines in Hokkaido, dating back to the Edo period. As a symbol of prosperity and good fortune, the shrine enshrines Ryūjin, the god of the sea, known for its calming presence. Visitors can experience the serene atmosphere of the shrine's garden, adorned with beautiful plum blossoms during spring.

Cultural Significance

Ryūjin's association with the sea also connects to the region's rich fishing heritage. Locals often pray for safe passage and successful catches. During spring festivals, visitors can participate in traditional games and activities inspired by Ryūjin's watery realm.
