History
Kotoni Jinja was established during the Meiji pioneer era as spiritual support for people who had migrated from Honshu. It is a shrine that has walked alongside Sapporo's development, and like the beautiful sound of the place name "Kotoni," it has been cherished by the people of the region. The pioneers established it with yearning for their homeland and have prayed for safety and prosperity in this new land throughout its history. Even today, it is loved as the tutelary deity of the community and is a warm shrine cherished by many visitors.
