Sapporo Sorei Shrine

Enshrined in Chuo Ward, Sapporo, this shrine is dedicated to the spirits of ancestors. Since the era of Hokkaido's settlement, it has gathered the faith of those wishing to honor those who came before them. A distinctive feature is its shrine crest — the red star emblem, identical to that of Sapporo Beer. In a land shaped by the toil of pioneers, this shrine stands as a place to express gratitude to forebears and pray for the peace of departed souls. The tradition of venerating ancestors and wishing for family wellbeing continues here to this day.
