Obihiro Shrine
A Shrine Known for Shima-enaga Omikuji and Hanachozu
A shrine in Obihiro with large trees on its grounds, where visitors can enjoy Shima-enaga (Long-tailed tit) omikuji and seasonal hanachozu.
Obihiro Shrine was established in 1910 to enshrine a spirit transferred from Hokkaido Shrine. Located in central Obihiro, its spacious grounds feature groves of large trees, including Japanese elm and katsura over 100 years old. The approach from the grand torii gate to the shrine buildings is surrounded by trees, providing a quiet setting for worship. The grounds contain the main sanctuary, worship hall, purification fountain, and several torii gates.
The shrine is also known as a place where the Shima-enaga, a wild bird found in Hokkaido, can sometimes be seen. Ceramic “Shima-enaga omikuji” shaped like the rounded birds are offered here. Visitors can select one fortune slip from those arranged on tree branches and check their fortune for the trip.
In addition, “Hanachozu” is displayed for limited periods during Golden Week, summer visits to the shrine, and the annual festival. Seasonal flowers and clear glass marbles float in five water basins and braziers around the grounds. Visitors can view the seasonal hanachozu as part of their visit to the shrine.
