History

Yahiko Jinja is enshrined near Nakajima Park in the heart of Sapporo. It is believed to have been established by welcoming a divided spirit from the renowned Yahiko Jinja in Niigata Prefecture. Though located in an urban area, it maintains a tranquil atmosphere enveloped by verdant surroundings. Walking in step with Sapporo's development, it has gathered the faith of many people. Within the cultural environment of Nakajima Park, it has been cherished as a place of respite for citizens and continues as a sacred place where those seeking peace of mind direct their visits.
