Hokkaido's Only Shrine

Shrines, which are closely related to the daily lives of Japanese people, are abundant throughout Japan. However, shrines of the highest rank, known as 'jingū,' are not as common. Hokkaido Shrine is the only 'jingū' in this area. This makes it a popular destination for both tourists and locals alike. The front yard of the shrine is filled with delicious food. You can find very flavorful and tasty takoyaki and yakisoba. Visit the shrine to pray for good fortune in the new year and enjoy some delicious snacks. Highly recommended.
