History
Chitose Jinja was established to pray for a thousand years of prosperity, true to the place name Chitose. This location has long flourished as a crossroads of traffic and has been cherished as a deity protecting the safety of travelers. In modern times, with the presence of the Air Self-Defense Force and New Chitose Airport, it holds special significance as a shrine watching over the safety of the skies. Continuing to walk alongside the region's development, it has now become a spiritual home for Chitose residents. The divine protection of the deity, unchanging even after a thousand years, warmly embraces the people living in this land.
