History
Obihiro Jinja has walked through history alongside the development of the Tokachi region. Its beginnings date to when settlers from Honshu enshrined the gods of their homeland as spiritual support. For pioneers building new lives in the harsh lands of the north, the shrine served as a place of solace. Developing alongside Obihiro, it is now cherished as a shrine beloved by the community. Grateful for the abundant blessings of the Tokachi Plain, it continues to watch over the safety and happiness of those who dwell in this land.
