Hokkaido Shrine is located about 15 minutes’ walk from Maruyama Koen Station on the Tozai Line. It was erected to worship the three deities of reclamation: Okunitama no kami, the deity of reclamation and development, Onamuchi no kami, and Sukunabikona no kami. In 1955, the Meiji Emperor, who adopted Western culture and built the foundations of Japan, was newly enshrined. Hokkaido Shrine is also known as a famous place for cherry blossoms in the spring and is popular among the local people.

迫力ある島判官の銅像
明治政府から託された開拓三神を背負い、北海道開拓使初代判官として着任した島義勇が、コタンベツの丘に登って石狩平野を見下ろし、札幌を北海道開拓の中心と定め、三神を祀る社地を現在の北海道神宮の場所に決めたことに由来しています。
東西南北の碁盤の目の区画整備による札幌の都市計画の礎を造った人物です。

Hokkaido Areas
Not just a prefecture but an island of its own, Hokkaido is the most northerly prefecture and island of the Japanese archipelago. Arriving in Hokkaido, which is rural and bursting with breathtaking nature, means entering a world where vast national parks, towering mountains, and natural hot springs can be found at every turn. Come December, these natural splendors freeze over and morph into a winter wonderland.
