Hokkaido Shrine is the spiritual heart of Japan's northern frontier. Created in the early Meiji era to bless the ambitious colonization of Hokkaido, it enshrines three kami charged with protecting pioneers and developing new land, alongside the spirit of Emperor Meiji himself. The shrine sits within a 180,000-square-meter forested park in central Sapporo, offering a tranquil contrast to the surrounding city. The evergreen forest of Maruyama Park provides a distinctly northern atmosphere unlike most shrines on Honshu. As the de facto ichinomiya of Hokkaido, it serves as the island's most important Shinto institution and draws enormous crowds during New Year's hatsumode, ranking among the most visited shrines in Japan during the holiday period.
