- Rob TAbbotsford, Canada254 contributionsCrowdsThe Shrine was worth seeing but the crowds were overbearing. We never got to see inside the shrine because we were on a tour and the lineup was too long to wait. Our bus got caught in the traffic jamb and took half an hour to get out of the park. Avoid holiday weekends! But the cherry blossoms were out...the last week in April.Visited April 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten April 29, 2024
- 純豆腐Japan541 contributionsSolemnIt is located in a vast site just off Maruyama Park Station. It was just the season of autumn colors and the sidewalk was beautiful with lots of maples. It was slippery because it was after rain. The time was near evening, and after a while he went through the gate, the drum came out and signalled the closing. We prayed at the grand shrine and immediately left. The surrounding area is also blessed with nature and suitable for walks.Visited November 2024Traveled soloWritten November 20, 2024
- Y HTokyo Prefecture, Japan433 contributionsThe snowscape is so beautiful!He visited in late November. The snowscape was very beautiful. Cars are lined up, and they seem to be performing an exorcism against the scattered cars. Close to Sapporo Station and very easy to get to. The black torii was impressive, although there is no special prominent symbol, and it was spacious inside.Visited November 2024Traveled with friendsWritten November 27, 2024
- K HTokyo, Japan369 contributionsSnow makeup is very beautiful, one of the most powerful spots in HokkaidoLocated in the center of Sapporo, it is one of the best power spots in Hokkaido. The figure with snow makeup is very beautiful. It is located next to Maruyama Park and the precincts are very large. It is famous for cherry blossoms in spring. It is easily accessible from the city of Sapporo and is also recommended for sightseeing.Visited November 2024Traveled with friendsWritten December 1, 2024

In the temple there is a famous sale of cake and milk ice cream called the Temple Tea House. Fruit pie is red beans, i.e. it is made, it takes about 5 minutes, the food falls very flavoured, very good food, and I use the left about 15 minutes to buy. After that, milk soft ice cream is a good fragrance and strong taste and smooth, good hard body, this time in the environment of three to four degrees below zero ice cream, it is very difficult. ✨️ The guide taught me to enter the temple of the temple before the ceremony, you need to first wash your hand in the "hand shed" wash your left hand, wash your right hand, then use your hand to shoot your mouth. ✨️ When attending the temple, you need to throw bronze money into the front box, then bow twice to express your respect, then hold your palm right, shake your hands twice in a row, and let your heart wish, and then bow once again. ⚡ Hokkaido Temple ⚡474 Miyagaoka, Chuo Ward, Sapporo, Hokkaido 064-0959 Japan The recommended stay time is about 1-2 hours.Visited December 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten January 8, 2025

Nestled in the Maruyama park and not far from the city zoo, this shrine was beautiful in the spring when the sakura was blooming. It took about 30 minutes to visit the main hall, write the wish on a wooden plate and wander around the premise. Such a lovely and peaceful place!

Set in Maruyama Park and approached along the Cherry Tree Boulevard from the 2nd Shrine Gate, the Hokkaido Jingu Shinto Shrine is probably impressive whatever season you choose to visit. Visiting in January when blanketed by snow, however, seems to elevate it to something extra-special.
Established in 1869, the centrepiece of the Main Shrine is an impressive A-framed building whose gold embellishments positively sparkle on a bright Winter's day. I was particularly fascinated by the wooden frame with wires that devotees tied their "wishes"/prayers around.
I rounded off my visit to this impressive Shrine by taking a break at the attractive Coffee Shop that sells hand-made cookies near the entrance to the Main Shrine, then walking back towards the Subway Station through the snow covered Park. Most enjoyable!

The shrine is set in some nice parkland on the outskirts of the city. there are several buildings too see that range in size. The main building (shown in the thumbnail photo) is nice. This is the first shrine I have taken my teenage daughter to on our trip in Japan, and she seemed to like it (enough), we took some nice photos and paid to get our fortune paper, which are quite fun things to do. When then had a wander around the wooded areas surrounding the shrine, which on a sunny day we're nice and welcome areas of shade and a bit of cool.

This shrine is about a 5-10 minute walk from Maruyama Koen Station.
I visited it on a friend's recommendation.
As you walk through the park, you will come across several shrines in a very large area, and if you continue walking you will come to the main hall.
It was a weekday, but the area to buy amulets and fortune slips was crowded.
It is a very pleasant place to be in the middle of nature.
I was happy to see squirrels several times.
I realized that it is a very powerful spot.

The Hokkado Jingu Shrine hoses four deities, including the Emperor Meiji. The Shrine is approached through a torii. It is bad manners to enter the Shrine through the middle of the torii. The torii is meant to frame the Shrine to give the best view. The Shrine burned down in in 1974, but was rebuilt in 1978. The Shrine houses the guardian deities of Hokkaido, it is worthy of respect.

The Hokkaido Shrine was not on my radar but I was in the area and wanted to see the shrine during the winter months. The forest surrounding the shrine and shrine itself is beautiful especially covered in snow. This was actually one of my highlights of the trip to Sapporo. There are food vendors outside the shrine. I also recommend walking some of the trails around the park. It was a magical time!

Hokkaido Jingu is a shrine affiliated to Japan's ancient religion, Shinto. Buddhism came later. Shinto is a form of naturalistic religion that is based on traditional practices. Hokkaido Jingu veneratres the early settlers of Hokkaido. Hokkaido Jingu is of moderen constructio, but it certainly radiates an atmosphere of peace and serenity. Shinto and Buddhism are not strictly competitors. Shinto goes back into the mists of time and is said to be "more Japanese."

This shrine is a Shinto shrine offour Gods including Emperor Meiji. This shrine is exceptionally beautiful in winter. I felt the calm and serenity around the shrine. Was told to:-
1. wash my hands at the stone basin
2. deposit some money to the offertory box
3. Bow twice
4. Clap my hands twice
5. Bow deeply one more time
for the worshipping process.
Great experience for me!

The reception at the Hokkaido Shrine office is the worst. The customer service attitude is bad. The quality is very low.
Hokkaido's main shrine is disappointing.
The only thing that saved me was that the priest who said the prayer in my car was very friendly.
I'm not sure if I'll change cars next time, but I'll avoid Hokkaido Shrine.

I always come here for the first shrine visit of the year.
The grounds are clean and always leave me feeling refreshed.
My fortune was good. The shrine maidens were very friendly.
However, there are many customers from overseas,
and sometimes I lost track of which country I was in, but that's a fond memory.
