Kaitaku Jinja (Pioneer Shrine)

開拓神社

4.5Est. 30Sapporo, Hokkaido

Overview

Powerful 'hidden' shrine within the Hokkaido Shrine grounds.

While everyone visits the main Hokkaido Jingu, this smaller shrine located in a quiet corner of the same park is often overlooked. It is dedicated to the 37 pioneers who laid the foundation of modern Hokkaido. It is known as a 'power spot' for those seeking success in business or new ventures, offering a more intimate atmosphere for prayer.

Local tips

Purify your hands at the temizuya before approaching the main hall. Left hand first, then right, then pour water into your left hand to rinse your mouth.
