History
Kamiteine Jinja is enshrined in the Teine area of Sapporo's Nishi Ward. Located at the base of Teine Mountain, it has a history of walking together with the development of this region. In a natural and abundant environment, it has been revered as the regional tutelary deity. It is deeply connected to the origin of the place name Teine, which is said to come from the Ainu word "Teine," meaning "dry river." Blessed with beautiful nature throughout the year, it brings peace to visitors.
