New Year’s First Shrine Visit at Hokkaido Jingu (Sapporo, Japan) | Hatsumode 2025

Hokkaido Jingu(January 2025)

I went to Hokkaido Jingu in Sapporo for the first shrine visit of the New Year (hatsumode). It seems there are even more international tourists this year.

When you visit Hokkaido Jingu, I highly recommend trying the “Hangansama” from Rokkatei Jingu Chaya and the “Fukure Mochi” from Kinotoya Jingu Chaya — they’re both delicious.

This year, I plan to focus more on photography and video activities than I did last year. Thank you for your continued support and best wishes for the new year!
