History

Taga Jinja, located in Chuo Ward, Sapporo, is known as a shrine dedicated to longevity. The name "Taga" derives from Taga Taisha in Shiga Prefecture and has been cherished as "O-Taga-san." It enshrines the two deities Izanagi and Izanami, protecting many people with the vital divine virtue of creation. Though situated in the heart of Sapporo, its tranquil precincts offer a place to calm one's mind away from daily commotion. It has become an especially important place of prayer for those wishing for health, longevity, and marital harmony.
