Hokkaido Jingu 北海道神宮

For 58 years, until 2012, one of its cherry trees marked the official blossoming in Sapporo.

Founded in 1869, at the start of the colonisation of Hokkaido, the shrine enshrines four deities: three linked to the land and to the development of the island, plus the spirit of Emperor Meiji, added after his death. It is the most important Shinto shrine on the island. The Sapporo Matsuri, its annual festival, falls on 14–16 June: the 15th is the main ceremony (例祭), the 16th the procession through the city streets (神幸渡御).
