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).

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).

#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.

If you take JR, it is recommended to stay close to Sapporo JR Station; if you take bus, you can choose near Nakajima 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. You have to cross a thick layer of snow, but there's a clear path made by people. Just follow the crowd! 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. Tengu, costing 72 RMB for three people) ❗️ Otaru Tips: 1. One day is enough! 2. Highly recommend Mt. Tengu if the weather is good, it's very beautiful. 🍖 Dinner: Avoid Sumibi Yakiya (The worst BBQ I've had in Japan) Day 3: Tanukikoji Shopping Street ➡️ Hokkaido University ➡️ Hokkaido Supermarket ➡️ Sapporo Station Shopping (This route is a bit boring) 🐟 Lunch: Shihachi Fresh Fish Shop North 24th Street 〒001-0024 Hokkaido, Sapporo, Kita Ward, North 24th Street, West 2nd Block, 1-13 Bears Building 1F Bears 24 Building (Very delicious and affordable, recommended) Hokkaido University: Went to the Owl Cafe, had pudding and milk (average taste) Hokkaido Supermarket: Randomly found a large supermarket near Hokkaido University. Highly recommend visiting supermarkets in Japan! The sushi and sashimi are delicious and cheap. We originally went to collect and taste all kinds of Hokkaido milk but couldn't find them all. ❗️ Tips: If you love Hokkaido milk, head straight to Mike Stand at New Chitose Airport for a full variety. 🍜 Dinner: Ramen Ichiryuan 〒060-0004 Hokkaido, Sapporo, Chuo Ward, North 4th Street West, 1st Block, 1st Building, Hokuren Building Basement 1st Floor (Rich ramen, their specialty is ramen with scrambled eggs) Day 4: Sleep in ➡️ Hokkaido Shrine ➡️ Sapporo Factory 🍛 Lunch: Soup Curry: Picante (Hokkaido Shrine Entrance Store) (Highly recommended, this soup curry is extremely delicious, the chicken leg is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, I still miss the taste) Hokkaido Shrine: Optional visit, there are many people drawing on trees with snow, quite cute.

This is one of the few places in Sapporo where you can have a traditional experience. You can also draw an omikuji (fortune slip) here, so prepare a 100 yen coin, put it in the box, and draw your fortune. The staff nearby can also exchange coins for you :) If you get a bad result, it's customary to tie it to the wooden frame next to it. ⏰Opening Hours Usually 06:00-16:00 📍Hokkaido Shrine 474 Miyagaoka, Chuo-ku, Sapporo 064-8505 Hokkaido

|||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

Been to Japan several times but this was my first time in Sapporo Hokkaido prefecture. Visited the Hokkaido-Jingu shrine and it is enthralling to learn about its history and congregational culture of the area. One of my favourite thing is the tying of of the omikuji and the Japanese architecture of the shrine. It was beautifully crafted and you may also want to get some seasonal souvenirs to bring back home for yourself of for your loved ones. Getting to the place was easy by JR train. If going from Sapporo station it’ll only take around 15-25mins. Make sure to stop by at the stalls along the way for some Japanese street food snacks like takoyaki, beef bbq tried it loved it, and okonomiyaki. I believe the best time to come is during the sakura season and the golden week as it will be less crowded and you’ll enjoy numerous variety of cherry blossom they are beautiful.

This is Kaitakujinja, a pioneer shrine built in memory of the pioneers in the year marking the 70th anniversary of Hokkaido's development. Perhaps because it is well-maintained, you don't feel the years since it was built. However, it does have a solemn atmosphere. #Snowscape #Sapporo #Shrine

In 2020, go to Hokkaido to see the first snow ❄️ When the heavy snow, open-air wind and arms with long crab legs are combined, you will find that it is really a happy thing to do humans ~ The third time I go to Hokkaido, no longer check in Attractions, but choose a good hotel to bathe, aimlessly stroll in the street, snow in the warm cafe to enjoy the snow, especially romantic and beautiful! #wintergetaway

Someone once said, Hokkaido, go four times ... Spring cherry blossoms Summer lavender Autumn maple leaves Winter snow ❄️is a good scenery all year round ... But only in winter, Hokkaido is more like a fairy tale … ⛄️⛄️⛄️In the impression, the snow in Hokkaido is soft and passionate. Even if the entire city is covered with white, few people use "spectacular" to describe it ... It's like a crystal ball, flying with snowflakes, but it can always Let you see the city, the most essential look ... #wintergetaway

Learning to appreciate what is called the best ski snow in the world in Hokkaido, Japan. The views are breathtaking and against the back drop of a blue sky not to be missed. How lucky we are! #givethanks #japantravel #snowmountain #givethanks

In October, the trip to Hokkaido Shrine, covered in maple Leaves is hidden in the round mountain park of Sapporo, was beyond amazing. It runs along with the big stone bird and passes through the Suomumu Shrine. I used to come in winter because the snow looks heavenly and I thought it was better. It is the Hokkaido Shrine, so I went back. This time the weather is good. I will continue to move forward and finally come to Hokkaido Shrine. I do not need tickets. It is slightly different from the architecture of other Japanese shrines. It is a bit like a windmill roof and should be a feature of the Hokkaido region. In the morning, many Japanese people come to pray, and the wishing card has a cute bear on it. It is actually more expensive than other shrines. The same Sakura bell is 800 yen here, and other shrines are 500. It may be particularly effective. There is also a self-service 200 yen for signing, and there is a cute gold lucky cat in the paper, which is really adorable.

Take the subway to Maruyama Koen Station and walk into the park. The entire park is filled with giant trees. Despite the thick snow, there are still many locals walking or walking their dogs. Artists have created many snow art pieces on the trees, which are very impressive. Walk to the adjacent Hokkaido Shrine. The solemn shrine covered in white snow adds to its sacred feeling. According to tradition, cleanse your hands at the temizuya, then proceed to the main hall. I happened to witness a family photo session after a wedding, which had a very Japanese touch. While you're there, stop by Rokkatei to have a Hanagaki Mochi (¥140), and buy a Fukubiki Mochi (¥250) at the shrine's tea house. One is slightly roasted and the other is hot-pressed, both are delicious red bean mochi snacks.
