Abuta Shrine

A shrine positioned on the line connecting Mt. Rishiri, Mt. Yotei, and Mt. Komagatake

Located in Toyako Town, this geographically unique shrine is positioned on a straight line connecting three famous mountains: Mt. Rishiri, Mt. Yotei, and Mt. Komagatake.
The location where the shrine stands is on a straight line connecting three of Hokkaido's most famous mountains, and this line is said to extend all the way to Mt. Fuji on the main island of Honshu. In feng shui, the earth's energy is called a dragon vein, and Lake Toya, formed by volcanic eruptions, has been considered a special place called a dragon hole. Upon entering the grounds, silence reigns, and you are enveloped in the refreshing scent of the forest from the surrounding trees. Passing through the torii gate, only the sound of stepping on gravel echoes, and the solemn atmosphere calms the mind.
Located on the shore of Lake Toya, a caldera lake created by volcanic activity, this is a place where you can feel the breath of the earth. Standing in front of the shrine building, cool air touches your skin, and you can quietly hear the sound of wind rustling through the leaves of trees. The unique location where the line connecting three famous mountains, volcanic terrain, and the natural environment of Lake Toya overlap makes this shrine one of the few special places in Hokkaido. Visitors can spend quiet time while feeling the geographical uniqueness and power of nature.
