History
This shrine is the very embodiment of Hokkaido's history of development. It was established by imperial decree of Emperor Meiji in Meiji 2 (1869) as the guardian deity of development, progress, and security, enshrining Okuninushi no Mikoto, Onamuchi no Mikoto, and Sukunahikona no Mikoto. Originally called Sapporo Jinja, it was renamed Hokkaido Jingu in Showa 39 (1964) when Emperor Meiji was added to the enshrinement. The grounds, embraced by the rich nature of Maruyama, are renowned as a cherry blossom viewing spot and attract many visitors during spring. It continues to watch over Hokkaido's development together with the thoughts and wishes of the pioneers.

Tips
境内には末社「開拓神社」があり、北海道神宮とは別に御朱印をいただけます。御朱印は開拓神社ではなく本殿右手の祈祷受付所で受け付けており、先に参拝を済ませてから申し込む必要があります。
御朱印受付・各種祈祷の窓口は神門をくぐって右奥の「祈祷受付所」にあります。拝殿だけ見て帰ると場所に気づかず受け付けを逃すことがあります。
境内駐車場（北一条側）は昼12〜15時に最も混雑し、初詣期間は午前8時頃に満車になることがあります。北一条が満車の場合は南一条側の駐車場が次の選択肢になります。
