History

This shrine in Matsumae has long protected Hokkaido's oldest castle town. Receiving the devotion of clan lords and serving as a spiritual anchor for the domain's people, it has bridged the eras from Edo to Meiji. From the heights of Matsushiro, it has watched over the northern lands through countless rises and falls. Its ancient history is the very foundation of the north.
