Come and visit Hokkaido Shrine, the largest shrine in Hokkaido. It is located near Maruyama Park Station on the Sapporo Subway. After exiting the station, head towards Maruyama Park, and you will find Hokkaido Shrine on the mountain. The shrine is beautiful in all seasons: cherry blossoms in spring, fresh greenery in summer, red leaves in autumn, and white snow in winter. Hokkaido Shrine has three torii gate entrances. Entering through the first torii gate from the park entrance, you will pass by Kaitaku Shrine, Sapporo Konpira Shrine, and Eda Shrine. Entering through the second torii gate leads directly to the main hall of the shrine along the Omotesando, lined with cherry blossom trees. Entering through the third torii gate, you will pass by the archery range, and you can explore the surrounding area. Hokkaido Shrine was formerly known as Sapporo Shrine. In 1869, Emperor Meiji ordered the establishment of the shrine in Sapporo to enshrine the three deities who protect the pioneering efforts in Hokkaido. It is considered the guardian shrine of all Hokkaido, so be sure to visit and buy an omamori (protective charm).

Hokkaido 2025 ❄️ Hokkaido travel plan review We traveled with the JR Rail Pass because we traveled from another region to Hokkaido. ❄️ Day 1: Hakodate - A lovely city, good atmosphere, fresh seafood from the sea. The highlight is the red brick warehouse, which is a check-in point for anyone who goes there. Take beautiful pictures and don't miss it. If you come to this city, you must eat the famous burger Lucky Pierrot, which is only available in Hakodate. Especially if you come to the branch near the red brick warehouse, we sat and ate while enjoying the sea view. It was so happy. If you come to Hakodate, we recommend staying here at least 1 night because it takes quite a long time to get here. There are many other highlights to check in. Day 2: Noboribetsu - The highlight of this city is the Hell Valley. It has a very beautiful valley view. Take beautiful pictures and have fun. Every corner of this place is beautiful. I recommend you to come here. ☺️ Day 3: Otaru - We like this city the most. It is a small but charming city. It is romantic and cute no matter where you walk. There is the Otaru Canal that you must not miss, and the Music Box Museum with its many music boxes. Along the Otaru promenade, there are many shops. Time flies so fast. I think Otaru is a small city that is very cute and romantic. Day 4: Asahikawa - Today, we rented a car from Sapporo to go see the penguins walking around at 11:00. I recommend coming when it opens at 10:30 to wait in line for them. I have to say that they are very cute. Then - In the afternoon, we drove to Biei to take pictures with the Christmas Tree and Mild Seven Hill. I have to say that the real thing is very beautiful. - After taking pictures with the tree, we traveled to Ningle Terrace, which is like a small village. There are cute handmade shops in this village. Taking pictures here is beautiful and romantic. Day 5: Sapporo - Today, we are in the city. Shopping, and the shopping area here is probably Susukino, which is a center of products. This is the only place to come. A place to eat and shop until you drop. ☺️❤️ Day 6: Sapporo - Today is January 1, 2025. Most shops are closed, including department stores. Almost everything is closed. We know that people here go to pray for blessings on New Year's Day. We also went to pray for blessings at Hokkaido-Jingu Shrine. I must say that there were a lot of people. It was like the whole city gathered here. But it was good to come here. We were full of joy and happiness to welcome the New Year. 🙂❤️ Most shops are closed on New Year's Day. But there are still some restaurants open for us to eat. Don't worry. 🤣 Day 7: Prepare to go back. - Today, there's not much. Just stop by to buy some things that we haven't finished yet and fly back to Thailand. 😁❄️ *** In fact, there are many more tourist attractions in Sapporo, such as the Clock Tower, the Old Government Office, the City Hall, and others. If you come, I'd like you to stop by. 😃 This is my second time in Hokkaido. There are some places that I didn't go to. On this trip, I focused on places that I want to go back to and miss. Hope to come again Hokkaido ❄️❤️ #hokkaido #sapporo #hakodate #traveljapan #traveljapanbyyourself #japan #noboribetsu #otaru #furano

This is a trip where the kids can have fun, the mom can take good photos, and it is not too tiring. The schedule is as follows: D1️⃣ Arrive at New Chitose Airport-Otaru (1.5 hours, look at the sea on the right) Take a walk around the city, Funamizaka, the canal, and Sankaku Market (you can have a meal here, but if you get off work early, you must go early). You don't need to go to the Otaru Steam Clock and the Music Box Museum specifically. Stay in Otaru D2️⃣In the morning, visit Otaru Aquarium (watch penguins walking, there is a Ferris wheel that is very photogenic) and in the afternoon, visit Tenguyama (check first whether the cable car is running). It is recommended to arrive before 16:00. If it is not snowing, you can take pictures of the lights of thousands of houses before dark. Stay in Otaru D3️⃣In the morning, visit Otaru - Asari or Zenhan (a love letter shooting spot, a first love spot) - Sapporo Nijo Market - Sapporo TV - Tanukikoji AOAO SAPPORO Aquarium (you can eat while watching penguins swimming, children love it) and stay in Sapporo D4️⃣ Hokkaido Shrine (few people, photogenic kimono) - Nakajima Park (there is a small hill where you can ski for free, suitable for beginners and children) The same observatory as the first love. If you have time, you can go to Hokkaido University and stay in Sapporo D5️⃣ One-day tour from Sapporo to Monbetsu, take an icebreaker to see the drift ice, remember to buy a blue beer before boarding the boat, the seafood market, 🦀️ the big crab claws are very good to take pictures, stay in Sapporo (You can also see the drift ice in Abashiri and Shiretoko, it is suitable to go when you take the northern route) D6️⃣ Sapporo-Noboribetsu Hot spring bath (most hotels have buses that can pick up in Sapporo) It takes about 20-30 minutes to walk with children to the Oyunuma River Natural Foot Bath, where you can soak your feet. Stay in Noboribetsu D7️⃣ In the morning, visit Jigokudani, Bear Ranch (the ranch’s car can pick you up at the hotel), Nix Ocean Park (Penguin Walk, there are emperor penguins, but not in Otaru) - New Chitose Airport 🌟Children under 6 years old (before going to school) do not need to buy tickets 🐧You don't have to go to Asahikawa to see penguins walking, Otaru or Noboribetsu are also fine. Don't stay in Sapporo and go back and forth to Otaru and other places. You really can't make it in time. If there is a big snowstorm, you may not be able to return. Except for watching the drift ice, you need to get up early, the rest of the time is relatively free and there is no need to rush. Public transportation is available throughout the journey, which is very convenient.

🌨️ Be sure to check the temperature before leaving for Hokkaido! Otherwise you might see something like the one in the picture. The first rule of thumb when traveling is to prevent slipping rather than cold weather. To prevent slipping, you can wear safety work boots or buy simple shoe spikes at a convenience store. Booking a hotel in advance is a must. No one told me that a hot spring hotel in Hokkaido in winter would cost more than 4k a night. 🥹🥹 If you plan to go to Hokkaido in winter, it is recommended that you read this guide before leaving. 【Pre-trip advice】 ❶ Don’t worry too much about the language barrier, use the simplest English words + sign language, basically everyone can understand, ❌ Don’t use long sentences, get a translation app, it’s completely OK to mix Chinese, Japanese and English! ❷ If you want to see snow, go to Hokkaido alone. A 5-7 day trip is OK. Hokkaido is vast and sparsely populated, and the distances between scenic spots are far. Public transportation takes a long time. It is recommended to invite three or five friends to charter a car or carpool together. ❸ Japanese taxis 🚕, hotels 🏨, or restaurants/convenience stores basically accept credit cards and Alipay. ❹ You can exchange some Japanese yen for use in small shops (especially ramen shops). There are currency exchange machines and counters everywhere, so you don’t have to worry at all. ❺ Otaru is very small, but any photo you take is full of romantic atmosphere. Prices are relatively expensive, so it is recommended to travel from Sapporo to Otaru on the same day! Remember to sit on the right side of the train, close to the sea, the scenery is superb. 【Some notes】 ‼ ️ Don't make phone calls or play videos or music out loud on the train or subway. It is really very, very quiet. I have seen Japanese people secretly answering the phone, but it is really an exception. ‼ ️ Don’t eat foods with strong odors. Generally, you can buy bento on long-distance trains like the Shinkansen. Although it is cold, I have personally tested that the taste is really good. 【About transportation】 The airport bus is really slow, and in good weather, it takes [one and a half hours] to get from Sapporo city hotel to the airport. It is recommended to take JR if you want to catch the return flight; you can take the bus for the outbound trip🚌. 【About attractions】 Sapporo: Hokkaido Shrine, Odori Park, Sapporo TV Tower, Hokkaido University, Sapporo Clock Tower, Sapporo International Ski Resort⛷️ Otaru: Otaru Sakaimachi Street, Funamizaka, Tenguyama, Otaru Canal Biei: Biei Blue Pond, Hakuko Falls, Biei Christmas Tree🎄 Furano: Forest Elves🧚 Terrace 【Outfit Guide】 🧥 Upper body: Warm clothes + fleece inner wear/down vest + long down jacket, or polar fleece + light feathers. It's about minus six or seven degrees, and the body doesn't feel too cold. There is heating indoors. 👖 Pants: Thickened fleece pants or autumn johns + single pants are completely sufficient. 🧣 Others: Gloves🧤, hats, scarves, and earmuffs are all prepared to keep warm and take photos at the same time! 🥾 Shoes: There are three key indicators for wearing shoes in the snow - waterproof, anti-slip and warm. You can buy anti-slip mats at FamilyMart and Lawson supermarkets. 【Itinerary suggestion】 👉 If you want to see snow and soak in hot springs♨️Take the Hokkaido West Route, depart from Sapporo, visit Otaru, then walk around Lake Toya, soak in hot springs in Noboribetsu, and finally return to Sapporo. 👉 If you want to go to Asahikawa Zoo🐧, Biei Blue Pond and Furano, it is recommended to charter a car🚗. You can get there by JR, but it will take a long time to go back and forth, and the bus schedule is fixed. #Hokkaido #Hot Springs #Travel Tips

#japantrip Visiting the Hokkaido Jingu Shrine in winter was an experience of serenity and beauty. As I entered the shrine grounds, the blanket of fresh snow muffled the sounds of the world, creating an atmosphere of peaceful isolation. The snow-covered torii gates stood as silent sentinels, leading the way to the main shrine. The crisp, cold air was invigorating, and the scent of pine and incense added to the tranquility. Inside the shrine, the warm light and the flickering flames of the lanterns created a welcoming contrast to the cold outside. I felt a deep sense of reverence and calm as I observed the rituals and paid my respects. The winter landscape surrounding the shrine was breathtaking, with the trees and buildings dusted in snow, giving the entire area a magical, timeless feel. My visit to Hokkaido Jingu Shrine during winter was a truly spiritual and unforgettable experience.

Day 4: 📍Hokkaido Shrine 📍Lake Toya 🌟I checked in to the Hokkaido Shrine in the morning; the Kouzhisu accommodation booked online has a free shuttle bus, departing from Sapporo JR Station at 13:00 and returning at 9:45 the next day. Large luggage can be stored at hotels in Sapporo, so just bring the luggage you need. Day 5: 📍White Lover Park 🌟After returning from Lake Toya, go directly to Shiroi Koibito Park.

When you think of Hokkaido, you will definitely think of the snow scene in winter. In the snow-capped Hokkaido Shrine, you can see the snowy scene at the entrance (picture 1). Going further inside, you can see tourists on the trees and on the ground. Some works using ingenuity. For us from Taiwan, seeing snow is already very strange, not to mention that snow can be used to make so many lovely works. Photo 4 successfully attracted our attention. , I think the people who use snowdrifts to write about these small animals are really amazing, not to mention that in the fifth photo, a "koala" can be pushed out on the trunk of the tree (hahahaha)! I would like to remind everyone that when visiting Hokkaido in winter, you must prepare a good pair of snow boots. This way, you don’t have to worry about slipping when walking in the snow, and you don’t have to worry about freezing your toes. As for gloves, it depends on the individual. It depends on your habits. For us, wearing gloves is too troublesome because we have to take pictures, but if you want to build a snowman, it is recommended to wear gloves! As for the time to visit Hokkaido Shrine, I personally recommend choosing around two o’clock in the afternoon. In this way, not only will you have enough time to visit, but it will also be easy to find a scene where no other people are in the picture! #Snow-capped Hokkaido Shrine #cutesnowmanlittleanimals #Use snow to be creative #appreciate the snow

Day 1: Fly from Tokyo to Hokkaido 🍣 Dinner: Toriton Sushi Maruyama Conveyor Belt Sushi (Fresh ingredients and affordable prices) Day 2: Sapporo 🚃 Otaru 🚃 Otaru P3 View: Get off at Otaru and check out the seaside. There's a small path next to the famous Polar Bear Cafe where you can walk in and see the snow and sea directly. P4 View: Keep walking to the right of the Polar Bear Cafe to reach the seaside.

Otaru Route: Minami-Otaru Station ➡️ Music Box Museum ➡️ Otaru Shopping Street ➡️ Otaru Canal ➡️ Mt. Tengu (We skipped part of the route due to laziness. We took a taxi from Otaru Canal to Mt.

This is one of the few places in Sapporo where you can have a traditional experience.

|||Snowflakes, hot springs ♨️, sunsets 🌅, and swans - all the beauty you can imagine in winter is gathered here in snowy Hokkaido. I strongly recommend booking hotels in advance if you're planning to visit Hokkaido‼️ Nobody told me that a night in a hot spring hotel in Hokkaido during winter could cost over 4,000 yuan 🥹🥹. If you're planning a winter trip to Hokkaido, I suggest reading this guide before you set off. [Pre-trip Advice] ❶ Don't worry too much about language barriers. Using simple English words ➕ hand gestures is generally understandable. ❌ Avoid using long sentences. Get a translation app, and a mix of Chinese, Japanese, and English works perfectly fine‼️ ❷ If you want to see snow, focus solely on Hokkaido. A 5-7 day itinerary is fine. Hokkaido is vast with a sparse population, and attractions are far apart. Public transportation can be time-consuming, so it's recommended to rent a car or join a car-sharing service with friends. ❸ It's also good to exchange some yen for use in small shops (especially ramen shops). There are currency exchange machines and counters everywhere, so don't worry. Otaru is small, 📸 but every photo captures a romantic atmosphere. It's quite expensive, so I suggest a day trip from Sapporo to Otaru! Remember to sit on the right side of the train for amazing sea views. [Some Notes] ‼️ Don't make phone calls, video calls, or play music out loud on trains and subways. It's really, really quiet. I've seen Japanese people secretly answering calls, but it's truly rare. ‼️ Don't eat strongly flavored foods. On long-distance trips like the Shinkansen, you can buy bento boxes. Although they're cold, I can attest that they taste quite good. [About Transportation] Airport buses are really slow, even in good weather conditions. It takes [about an hour and a half] from Sapporo city hotels. I recommend taking the JR for return flights; for arrival, you can choose the bus 🚌. [About Attractions] Sapporo: Hokkaido Shrine, Odori Park, Sapporo TV Tower, Hokkaido University, Sapporo Clock Tower, Sapporo International Ski Resort ⛷️ Otaru: Otaru Sakaimachi Street, Funami Slope, Mt. Tengu, Otaru Canal Biei: Blue Pond, Shirahige Waterfall, Biei Christmas Tree 🎄 Furano: Forest Fairy 🧚 Terrace [Clothing Guide] 🧥 Upper body: Thermal wear + fleece-lined inner layer/down vest + long down jacket, or fleece + light down. It's about -6 to -7°C, but it doesn't feel too cold. Indoor spaces are heated. 👖 Pants: Fleece-lined thick pants or thermal underwear ➕ regular pants are sufficient. 🧣 Others: Bring gloves 🧤, hats, scarves, and earmuffs for warmth and style! 🥾 Shoes: Three must-haves for snow - waterproof, non-slip, and warm. You can buy anti-slip pads at FamilyMart and Lawson convenience stores in Sapporo. [Itinerary Suggestions] 👉 For snow and hot springs ♨️, take the western Hokkaido route: Start from Sapporo, visit Otaru, then Lake Toya, enjoy hot springs in Noboribetsu, and return to Sapporo. 👉 For a more in-depth experience with more attractions, take the eastern route: Sapporo - Asahikawa - Biei Town - Furano - Hoshino. Attractions are far apart, so independent travelers should allow more time for transportation. 👉 If you want to visit Asahikawa Zoo 🐧, Blue Pond in Biei, or Furano area, it's recommended to rent a car 🚗. JR trains are available, but with fixed schedules. This route offers top-tier snow experiences.

#100 Ways to Travel Hokkaido Shrine was not developed until the late 19th century and was officially incorporated into Japan in 1869. In 1870, Emperor Meiji of Japan set up a "temporary shrine" in Sapporo. The following year, the "Sapporo Shrine" was established at the current site of Hokkaido Shrine. The three gods who opened up Hokkaido are enshrined here, including Okunikonami, Okinamunchi, and Sukunahikona. They are collectively known as the "Three Gods of Opening Up". It was not until 1964 that Emperor Meiji officially changed the name to "Hokkaido Shrine". It says " Hokkaido General Defense". Hokkaido Shrine also has very important strategic significance. In the early days of Hokkaido's development, the Hokkaido region was mostly facing Karafuto, Kuril Islands and other places. In order to meet the defense needs against Russia, the main gate of the shrine faced northeast. This shows how important the Hokkaido Shrine is. Transportation tips: Hokkaido Jingu Shrine is located in Maruyama Park in Sapporo. From Sapporo Station, take the Nanboku Line to Odori Station, transfer to the Tozai Line and get off at Maruyama Park Station. It is about a 15-minute walk to the Shrine. The city bus circular bus No. 20, West 14, and West 15 get off at Jingumae Station. For those who drive, there are Minami-ichi Parking Lot and Kita-ichi Parking Lot. If you come on weekdays, there are more than enough parking spaces. There are several important torii gates at Hokkaido Jingu Shrine. Most tourists who arrive by subway enter from the "Maruyama Park Exit Torii Gate". This section is an uphill section and passes three small shrines along the way before reaching the main shrine. Don't forget First go to the "Sailor's House" next door to rinse your mouth and wash your hands. The Minamiichi parking lot is entered from the "Third Torii Gate". The Third Torii Gate is the direction of "increased deposits" in Feng Shui, so businessmen often worship at the Third Torii Gate and pray for a steady flow of money. The tour bus stops at the Kita-ichi parking lot and enters from the Reiwa Torii, which is also the location closest to the main shrine. The second torii gate is far from the subway station, so you can take a taxi here and get off. Walk past the torii gate and enter a long Omotesando, with many Somei Yoshino cherry trees and Ezoyama cherry trees planted on both sides. The main shrine is at the end. It is especially recommended to come during the snowy winter, as the three torii gates each have their own unique scenery. Have you noticed that the "First Torii" is not visible on the map? If you walk from the outer market, you will pass by the First Torii, a huge torii gate about four stories high, located on Kita-Ichi-dori outside the Hokkaido Jingu Shrine, spanning the driveway. After visiting the shrine, remember to visit the Rokkatei Jingu Teahouse opposite the main shrine to enjoy the shrine's exclusive Houkanyaki and free hot tea. Houkanyaki is made from buckwheat and tastes similar to mochi. The outer layer is slightly crispy and salty, and paired with sweet but not greasy There are red bean paste and other limited products. On the way back, you will pass by the Jingu Tea House and the popular fortune cakes. The whole journey takes about 2 to 3 hours to complete. There are not many places to sit and rest in the shrine. There are places to take elders and children. Don't overbook your schedule. #Hokkaido Jingu #Sapporo #Jingu #Rokkatei #Omotesando #familytravel #Hokkaido #Japan

In 1869, Hokkaido, which was called "Ezochi" at the time, was renamed "Hokkaido" to make it clearer that it was Japanese territory. On September 1 of the same year, the "Hokkaido Chinzashinsai" was held in Tokyo by imperial decree of Emperor Meiji, and the three gods Okunitama, Onamuchi, and Sukunahikona (known as the Kaitaku Sanshin) were enshrined as the guardian deities of Hokkaido's development and development. Their spirits (objects in which the gods reside, such as mirrors and swords) were moved from Tokyo to Hakodate, and then to Sapporo. In May 1870, a temporary shrine was built, but it was not at the current enshrined site (where the shrine where the gods reside is located). The shrine was built in its current location in 1871, and was named "Sapporo Shrine" in the same year. Then, in 1964, the shrine was renamed "Hokkaido Shrine" after the enshrining of Emperor Meiji, who decided to open the country and established the foundations of modern Japan by adopting Western culture. The shrine grounds, covering approximately 180,000 square meters, are known as a famous cherry blossom viewing spot and are loved by locals, but the current shrine building was burned in 1974 and rebuilt in 1978. Contents of the prayer Hokkaido Shrine currently enshrines four gods (when counting gods, they are counted as "pillars" rather than one, two, etc.).

Hokkaido Shrine ○Address 474 Miyagaoka, Chuo-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido ○Business hours 6:00-17:00 The largest shrine in Hokkaido. ○Event I went to Hokkaido Shrine Tanabata Unlike Honshu, Tanabata in Hokkaido lasts until August 7th. This summer, I didn't have Tanabata in Honshu, so it was great. The scent of the trees is different from Kyoto, so you can enjoy this shrine with all five senses. It only gets crowded during New Year's, so it's very comfortable. You can also hold weddings here, so please make a reservation. #HokkaidoTourism#Hokkaido#SoloTravel#AmazingView#Shrine#Shrine

#SpringTravel #SpringOuting 📍 474 Miyagaoka, Chuo Ward, Sapporo, Hokkaido 064-8505 Japan 🕦06:00-16:00 It's really embarrassing when it rains while traveling🥲 Especially if it's a chilly spring rain (I packed light clothes but it's so cold...ㅠㅠ) A spring rain trip that everyone should have at least once! The Hokkaido shrine is in the mountains so it was even colder! As with all shrines in Japan, it was a trip that I went on with a comfortable mind because of the quiet and calm atmosphere ♥︎ * There's also a zoo there, so as soon as you get off the station, the tiles will show you the way!!
